Nice looking driver quality '74 2.0L for sale on BAT.....very strong money at $15K in the first day of the auction. Should be interesting to see where the auction ends up (7) days from now.

This came up in the facebook group and my guess was $22,500.

Big difference it is not for sale here!
I am going to say the pop rivets are correct in the rear truck for targa top. I know some were riveted and some were bolts but I don't see someone replacing bolts with rivets.

Yeah, not that it ever really stops someone from commenting on for sale ads. Regardless, it wasn't posted by the owner and is not for sale here on the world.

I agree with everyone here that it's a nice 914 and has a lot going for it.....'74 FI 2.0L, matching numbers, color combo, appearance package, no rust, etc. Sorry to be an anal nit-picker with the details....most of these items can easily be corrected if the next owner elects to. I hope the owner gets the most $$$ for it......GLWS.
......I have to call my insurance company now and increase the value of my '74 2.0L.

Same here. Or maybe list it on BaT!

Hey, I looked at the $200K blue GT and thought - It has a late side mirror - what's wrong with me.

As a 1974 Model 473544, steel wheels would be factory build correct, but I would not say that the fake fuchs or even the muffler are "incorrect", just not factory parts.
Condition, more than most other factors is a major value indicator and this example is quite good and will clean up nicely.
The rare interior color, and body color are great - but don't like them in combo - I think it affects value.
What about the two tone door panels - never saw that on a 914.
Of course there is the fire hazard of the incorrect fuses in the fusepanel.
The major distraction for me is the large stain on the front trunk board. Clean or replace it for the big money deal.

My ‘71 was orange with brown but PO painter it red.

My '74 also came with those same two tone door panels and brown interior.
The PO painted it red, but I always thought the brown interior would have looked odd with it's original signal orange exterior (it still looked odd with the red).

as much as I like red 914's, I wish they had kept mine orange. The orange and brown color combo is very 70's. Mine also had two tone doors.
I'll probably pull the interior and sell it to someone who wants to take their four or six back to stock. It's a 38K mile car and even though it has a bad hell hole, the interior is pristine. It's a '71 so it would work for either car.

If you go to bring a trailer all of the deficiencies are in the comments below. I know when they bought the car and what was paid for it. Tidy profit.
Posted by: Cal Feb 14 2018, 02:43 PM
Sold for $20,250.00.....
Posted by: 914Sixer Feb 19 2018, 06:38 PM
Door panels were correct. I parted out a 74 the same combo. My 75 has the two tone with tan panel and black map pocket.
