I have a ravenna green 1973 914 (No Motor). The car had minimal rust in the rear trunk that has been repaired and a slight amount of rust on the passenger side rear floor pan. The car is as solid as it can be. I added the chasis re-enforcement and I also welded in beef up plates for the rear suspension ears. I have pictures of the underside of the car while it was on the rottisserie and while it was bare metal. The rockers are all original and have no rust. It has metal flares, immitation fuchs. I was going to go watercooled so it already has a radiator with all the shrouding and fan set-up. I modified the front bumper with the 350Z billet grill as many others have done. I also fabbed a gt style engine grill. I would include new aftermarket bumper tops and just about all the rubber seals. The car has a 5 lug set-up from a 911 in the front and drilled rear hubs(all Bilstein and delrin bushings with grease fittings). It also has a 23mm front sway bar. The rear stock sway bar will come with the car but it's not installed. Also included would be powder coated black side mirrors along with powder coated black door handles. the rear valance is steel and has been fitted to the flares, the front valance is fiberglass and still needs fitment. Rear trunk is fiberglass and fits decent. The rocker panels are fiberglass and still need a little work but they are a close fit. the seats are grey leather and look really good. Also comes with a pearlon carpet kit. I have just about all the parts to put the car back together. I'm trying to get a ballpark number of what I should try to sell at. I'm sure there is plenty i'm leaving out.

I sold my project for $10000 NO engine, Tranny, HEs. all it really needed was paint and rubber and carpets. here is a LINK. that was about 6 months ago when I lost my job. I think it is a matter of finding the right guy who's vision was similar to the one you had for your car, and happens to have the urge and the money at that time.

GOOD LUCK

It's worth what your buyer will pay. Sometimes it's $1000, sometimes it's 10k, Figure out how much you will have to throw at the car, and what you think you can get. Honestly, many people have different visions, so the broader the apeal, the more likely the price will be better.

Fix the rust and have it well documented, that adds the most value. Advertise the car at a price you think is a bit high, but not excessive, as the buyer will probably come back with a counter,as it is still a project. You may be able to sell it without putting a bunch of cash into it. The buyer will not care how much you put into it, unless it's for something they want (like rust repair). The more you put in (unless you finish the car), the less likely you are to have it come back, and increase the net after expenses. Not that it can't be done, but back to the right buyer with your vision scenario.

That's my .02
