LeeM Posted 4January, 2019 Report Share Posted 4January, 2019 Anyone know how many RHD 914/6's are floating around here? I know they'll all be converted from left to right and engine swaps. Asking for a friend who wants some information on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 4January, 2019 Report Share Posted 4January, 2019 A mate of mine used to tarmac rally a real 6. Sold it a few years back. Hoot to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 5January, 2019 Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 Hi Lee, Factory 914/6s? If factory versions, there is Barry's which was converted by Porsche cars Australia under Hamilton's (and a second one of these somewhere), the orange one that was raced and rallied as mentioned above by OBRUT, a RHD UK Canford conversion that I heard of recently on our shores and another 2 LHDs that I know of in NSW. Barry will probably know of more though If converted 6s, there are a number of them which are steadily increasing Cheers Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 5January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 Cheers lads. Matey is just fishing at the moment, and has asked if I can see what's potentially available for sale. It would have to be RHD and able to be registered. Converted to a 6 are preferable, as a real one would probably be in the realms of 'stratospheric' value/price which defeats the purpose for him. The one that was here for sale was a decent car, though price wise I thought it was up there in very nice converted 911 territory, yet there wasn't/isn't many available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 5January, 2019 Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 The last properly sorted GT replica I know of sold for well north of $70k.... They aren’t a cheap option anymore for your mate unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 5January, 2019 Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 Why RHD? Not worth converting these days. There was a project advertised recently on gummy tree I think and it was rough and big $$ for what it was. I think someone posted comments on it here. Current values for excellent condition genuine 914/6 in USD is 125K. They only built 3300 or so. An old racer being resurrected in Melb at the moment. Should be good when its done. Craig's car will lift the bar on GT clones when finished I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 5January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 Apart from just not wanting a LHD, he doesn't want the potential/probable headaches with converting a car, not to mention the cost of having it done. That black one for sale is a pig for $21k, and you'd have to put another $30k and more into it to get it half respectable even as a lefty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to register a LHD from the 914 production years in most states (except maybe SA?)? Thse LHD 4 cyl vehicles currently available are pricey too, noting as we all know that they are only worth what someone will pay and both are still available- https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/caringbah/cars-vans-utes/porsche-914-4-1972/1204315983?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=LF4-cars&utm_content=163436_9299 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-914-1975/OAG-AD-16628010/?_ga=2.103907908.516351776.1546739715-1737130448.1499228881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 6January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 6January, 2019 @crsedge Yeah thats mental prices. And yes, he's here in SA. You can register a lefty no worries here (been there, done that) yet 40-50 grand defeats the purpose of what he wants, which is a fun car he can thrash in the hills without having to worry about values etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 28February, 2019 Report Share Posted 28February, 2019 Dennis nice one on Facebook this morning in VIC . $15K. Buy and do the conversion if you really need to. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a photo of it with today's Age on the bonnet to prove it's real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
