Greeting all - I am currently in GA moving from CA a few years back. I have owned my 914 for 26 years as I always have wanted one as a youth. I been through two rebuilds last one by Bauer Porsche in Oakland CA. (I believe it has about 5k on the rebuild) original fuel injection. I've also had the seats recovered. As well as painting it charcoal gray from the original Revenna Green. I understand I probably should not have done this, but being just a spray over I'm sure it can be restored to the original color if one wanted. Also it seems that most of the rubber seals around the windows and other need to be replaced.
I had it trucked from CA to GA a few years back and since it has been stored. I am planning on moving back to CA. and unfortunately I must part with my old friend:-( I was wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark figure of what it would be worth to an enthusiast. In my town no one has any clue about 914's so I must inquirer beyond. Also any clues on where to sell in or outside the forum? Any and all responses would be welcomed! (No pics currently as the car is stored elsewhere.) Thanks! VIN:4732901103 |

Well the California price range for a non running 914 is $300-$2000 depending on rust issues. Yours needs new rubber and paint to start with. That is a $3000 hit at a minimum to replace. If you get it running you will get more money for it. The fact that is was rebuilt and then sat without running is not good. 914 FI parts are not cheap if they need replacing. The biggest factor is rust in the hell hole. Look under the battery tray, poke with a screwdriver. Look at the passenger side jack post for rust too. If the rust is not bad, East cost guys may want a real California car. You have to find the market. I could buy a nice driver here for $3000 or a fresh resto for $6000. There is a mint 76 for sale near by at a consignment shop going for $11k. It is super nice.
I think you should find a way to bring it back to California and keep it. |
