1975 Porsche 914-6 GT tribute project with a Dawes-built 2.0 flat-six and steel flares, no reserve
Most of the hard parts of a six conversion are done; it sells with no reserve and is bid well under finished-car money.
Sold Why we picked it
Why we picked it: a 1975 914 already converted to a 914-6 GT look with integrated steel flares, 15-inch Fuchs and a 2.0-liter air-cooled flat-six built by Pete Dawe of Dawes Motorsports around 2011, with a five-speed. It is not fully back together: the tunnel has been opened, the shifter and linkage are out, and the dash top is off. The parts come with it, and the listing says it has a clean Pennsylvania title.
It was bid to $8,000 with no reserve and 11 days left. Finished six-cylinder and custom 914s have sold for about $18,700 to $29,700. Bids on this collection have been climbing, so expect it to go higher.
The value check
When we found it, the bid was $13,750. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $18,700–$29,700, so the middle of the market is about $24,200. That put this car 43% under.
Compared with sold six-cylinder and modified 914s: a 1976 914 six conversion at $18,700 (Mecum, Nov 2025), a 1976 modified 914/4 at $21,164 (BaT, Sep 2026) and a 1974 custom 914 at $29,700 (Mecum, Jan 2026). Unfinished six-cylinder projects have few direct sales, so treat this range as a guide.
- 1976 914/6 conversion, Mecum Nov 2025, $18,700
- 1976 914/4 custom, BaT Sep 2026, $21,164
- 1974 914 custom, Mecum Jan 2026, $29,700
What to check
- Check the hell hole under the battery tray, longitudinals and jack points for rust; the listing does not mention rust
- Confirm the six-cylinder conversion parts are complete: engine mounts, oil lines, cooler, fuel pump, tach and heat
- The opened center tunnel needs proper repair and stiffening
- Ask whether the engine has run since it was built and get build records from Dawes if possible
- Not every flaw was diagnosed, so study the gallery or have it inspected in Savannah
Making it drive like new
Finish the conversion with a proper side-shifter linkage, a front oil cooler, modern ignition, rewired harness, uprated brakes (911-style calipers) and coilovers; the steel flares already allow wide wheels for a true pro-touring 914.
How it ended
It sold for $25,948 on Oct 29, 2026, against a market value of about $24,200 when we found it.
