914/6 3.6 conversion
 

Porsche 914 Full Rebuild | eBay

Very good condition 914 with a 3.6. From the ad it sounds like the shop knew what they were doing. What's it worth (ie resale today)? I know what original 6s in this condition would sell for, but not a conversion. The 3.6 is pretty interesting in terms of performance, of course, but it's hardly period correct. I think the add-on AC brings the value down, and there appears to be no heat, for what it's worth. Also, what hidden demons (besides rust) to look for?

Trissel?

I saw this car last weekend, and while I'm not a 914 expert, it looked really nice. A lot of money was spent on the conversion. If you are interested, call and talk to Jason. He is pretty knowledgeable.

Our PCA region went for a tour of the showroom. Everything I saw in there was top shelf.

jeez.

now that is a sleeper. i would love a 914 with a 3.6.

you could hand a lot of guys their lunch in one of those...

Very Cool!

Nice looking car but I wouldn't want that 3.6 against the skinny little 901 gears in that 914 gearbox, bearing plate or not. Needs a proper 916 conversion and then it's good to go.

That car started life as a 914-4. There were no 914/6 cars produced in 1973.
Has to be a blast to drive. Hopefully they converted a g-50 to mate with that much power.
I had previously stated that those were Pedrini wheels. Those are actually 5 lug mahle gasburners.

They often have some very nice looking cars. I don't know them, I have never done business with them, but...

gear.... agreed they are indeed gasburners, I have a pristine set in my basement. They've been in the family since the 70's. I can't even remember the last time they were actually used. My pop saved em for something until I took them.

And worth $4-5k.

If anyone is actually in the market for a car like this, Eric Shea at PMB is brokering a similar car for a client. $35k.

that car is sick! matt, do you know anything about that car that isn't in the facebook post? do you know the shop that built it?

i could get in to one of those...

I'm not sure how much PMB dud and how much was done elsewhere. However I'm sure if you reach out Eric can tell you everything. Car was built for auto-x and now the owner is scared the gearbox won't hold against the 3.6. If it is launched hard he's probably right.
