Re: A $62,500 914 -6
That's an AMAZING car for sure!! But,. . . a pretty hard sell in this economy!
I've seen some really nice 914-6 conversions w/ 3.6L going for $25k obo so. . . Makes it pretty hard to justify spending 2.5X that amount for this one. . .

There isn't much left to modify, is there?
Awesome ride.
Starting life as a /6 is worth more than a conversion, but probably not ~$30K worth.
This guy isn't selling to po' folk like us, $65K gets you a fairly boring car most of the time these days.
(OTOH it would just about get you his and hers Atoms)

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

The bad thing about this, he didn't upgrade to a 915, it's a lot of motor for a 901, and for the money he put into the 901 he could of went the 915.
But it is a nice car, but would of been better any color except red.

Agreed, the minute you drop the clutch on that 901 that thing will grenade.Type 4 Unleashed wrote:The bad thing about this, he didn't upgrade to a 915, it's a lot of motor for a 901, and for the money he put into the 901 he could of went the 915.

The add is back up with a $3000 price drop.
And has some better pics, with a little more info.
It says it has a 901 box with a 904 main shaft with a Quaife but then it says
in the next line it has a 916 box ?
The aftermarket Tach, why devalue it, a nice 911 tach would of been perfect.
