2 914s at the pca concours today..a 75 and 76
the 76 was a one owner with 24,000 original miles..and totally perfect in every way..i couldnt believe it
the 75 is owned by tod914 here, 60k miles and very nice and original as well..

eric and i think alike. =]
and yep, i pointed them here...apparently they know of the club just dont post
oh..i forgot to mention that today i had my first ride EVER in a 914...can you believe that, owned one going on 2 years and never rode in one..
tod gave me a ride, we took the top off and put the pedal down..man was that fun!
these things are glued to the road, much better handling than my 924S...which i thought was good...
i think that is what i needed to get my umph back into my project!

Olav, 20-30k is going rate for a nice, original /6, surely.
A minty 24k/m /4, as the one pictured, is around.. $18-20k... on a good day.
I paid for a car like that once... and I got something quite different.

If I had my way, that would be the kind of original six I'd like to get my hands on. Something somebody already screwed with enough to make me not want to take it back to stock, so I could screw with it to my taste without feeling guilty about it. And it's still an original six!

True, but the flares on that one would require replacement sheetmetal, and that's a lot of work to get right again.
One just went for 23k on eBay.
Do you have a link to that auction. Just want to see the pics.
Look it up... it was about a month ago. Or... ask Jim Chambers, he may have it.
Nighty night.
There was an astonishing refinished 70 /6 on ebay about... 3 years ago, 2.2 update, and stock stock all over, with steels. Silver, everything new, everything. Complete restoration, on a low miles car.
Was 15k open, went to like 17 or something... what a shame.

That sounds about right to me 15 - 20 k
Anything over and it's getting emotional. (for stock)
Thanks for posting Aaron. Fun day at the show today. Glad you enjoyed the ride in the 914... Alittle inspriration to work on your project . Dave's maluga red teener is absolutely stunning. It's really a remarkable car. Was quite a treat to see it at the show. I can only imagine a handfull left being in that kind of condition.
Dood, that was three years ago, when the same /4s that are suddenly 7k were 4k tops.
The car I am talking about would be an easy $25k car, not a survivor, but a 99pt resto, better than mint.
No options, steels..

A car I sold in early '04 for $12K went for $14 less than a year later and $17 (or was it $18?) a couple of months ago. Original, but far from "very nice". Holes all over from AC, weak repaint, repro. "fuchs". Just as with early 911's and 914-4's, the price of admission is rising rapidly.
I recall two in the $22k range in the last couple of months but don't have a link.

It's the same with anything the supply drops off on, and the demand moves up.
914s have been below 'off the radar' forever.
In 1982, one could buy a 1959 Les Paul Std. for between 2500-4500, and those same guitars go for between $50-$200k+ now.
A collector car, is different than a driver. A NICE driver /6 is in the $20s.. a collector /6 could go for... 2x that, and more.

I guess Excellence will have to update their 914 market pages...
Debate all day, bring huge money, or buy a driver.

Ever do a quality restoration on a 914??? This is a factor in the pricing. |

you can't restore a 914 for profit ... |
