In today's market, what its worth Options

There is an original '70 914-6 Zero miles on a rebuilt motor and transmission, the trany has the original tail shifter. Whatever bodo was in the car it's all gone and nothing left but metal. Owner wanted to repaint the car in his favorite color, so part of the car is primer and the other is black. The original color is a blue. The wheels are original steel with hub caps. Everything on the car is perfect, the car is waiting for paint. What would it be worth to you? I'm thinking about it.
I've seen very, Very nice ones go for $40k before the market went south, don't think that car would bring the same price today, I believe. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks Karl

Thanks for all your comments. The car will be perfect when done, no doubt about it, interior and exterior. Carlab wants 10k to finish the job by putting it all back together by painting it the original color and by removing the faulty undercoating which I saw and is a shiny black paint like finish instead of the dull tar looking stuff that the car came with. I have no pictures and if I did most would not be interested, only those that see this as a wonderful opportunity and to possibly finish it themselves. And that is NOT something I would be able to accomplish. If I had not bought the '72 I own now and needs attention, I would jump at the chance.

Taking that statement as true - meaning that $10k more and you will have a "perfect" 914-6 with a freshly rebuilt engine - I am really surprised to see such low prices being thrown out. Yes, even in today's market.

Not everyone is hurting for cash right now, and exceptional cars will always fetch a premium. As described I believe you could sell the car for mid-30s if you were patient, maybe more.

The "current market" is just that. It certainly doesn't mean these cars won't be worth as much as they were "yesterday". On the contrary, they'll likely be worth more.
