914Club members. After much deliberation I have decided to get out of Porsches for a while. The Boxster is gone and I have just about talked myself into letting the 914 go.
(IMG:http://www.hifidesign.com/studio_ftp/hifi_uploads/914/1974_914.jpg) For those who don't know my car it is a 1974 with a few mods: Raby 2270 TYPE IV Full chassis & body restoration by Patrick Motorsport - New paint, sail panels, all rubber moldings replaced with Porsche parts, - New windsheild & windshield trim - Carerra front suspension and brake upgrades (5 lug conversion) - Coil overs in rear with PM rear brake upgrade (handbrake IS functional) - Adjustable front sway bar - Rebuilt Transaxle - Fiberglass decklids & bumpers - 6 x 16 Fuchs New interior using German materials from World Upholstery New interior & trunk carpets via Morphenspectra plus headliner Decklid struts & original Blaupunkt from Camp 914 Well over $50k spent to date, litterally no expense spared. Car has won it's class in 3 PCA events (out of 3 entered) and has been featured in a few Regional PCA mags. I hate to put it on eBay if I don't absolutely have to. I want to find it a good home and still get a fair price. So, what should I be asking for this car? What is it really worth in the market today? |

No question that both of the two factory 914-8s with the 908 motors are worth more than 50K. Someone like Seinfeld would love to add one of them to their collection. Also the #40 Sonauto class winner at Le Mans if it still exists. As for the remark that Brian's car has a "simple" 4, I don't think so, but I'll let Jake respond to that.
Recently a restored LE without the original motor and carburators sold for $15000. Would the original motor with D-Jet added to the value? Probably. So there may be a few others, but not many. Will he sell it? Who knows and even if he does, there isn't much chance we will ever find out the price. Fun to speculate. |
