Not all of them. Those shocks are just for assembly, the correct ones will be installed later.

I miss my 914...

Current high bid is $85,100.00. The reserve has still not been met with over 6 days left in the auction.

The auction ended at $87,600.00. The reserve was not met.

I sold my 914-6 for $25K in 2009. I bought it for $7K, some assembly required. I had under $20K into it...

It was NOT original. While the motor and transmission were original, I rebuilt the motor to 2.7 RS specifications with Nikisil cylinders and the long stroke crank and rods. It probably made 210 hp. I rebuilt the transmission to a side shifter and installed the side-shift linkage.

In the past, someone replaced the floor pan, but didn't do a great welding job. While I owned it, it had the classic chassis suspension failure that required re-welding.

Upgrades: I rolled the fenders so I could fit 16" Fuchs. I had the original 14" Fuchs, but you couldn't find decent tires for those. I had the car stripped to metal and repainted. I replaced the doors with the later model '73 doors to have the better window regulators and crash protection. I installed seat brackets and had a '72 movable passenger seat installed. And I had the entire interior redone in black leather.

If I had owned the car any longer, I was going to have Air Conditioning installed. I also had the materials to sound deaden the car.

It looked original from the outside, but was not original.

Sounds like a nice car. Do you regret selling it?

I sold it to help fund my business. If was a fun car. But no one knew what it was. I went to a Houston Porsche meet up and was put down by a couple of late model 911 owners who had no idea what a numbers matching 914-6 meant.

About what I expected. He probably left a few grand on the table, from the way the car was presented, but I suspect he needs to take another look at the market when he re-lists it.

The 914-6 has been relisted with a buy-it-now price of $99,000

So the BIN is 99k and I said? ^^^^^^^^
