Price range for 914 Options

[eric914]

Have been reading the group for some time but this is my first post.

I have found a 1970 914 in a barn. It has not run in a number of years,
has typical rust under battery tray and a cracked windshield but besides
this looks to be in decent condition. No other visible rust, doors open
and close nice, door gap looks good, no sag. Has alloy wheels and decent crome bumpers.

Any thought on price range?

Also the same person has a shell that has had a roll cage welded in and
all rust fixed. Very clean. It is a 1973 shell. Thoughts on its
worth?

Thanks for the help.

Once you have a good feel for this car and you think you are going to get it, also try to add up the costs of getting it running again.

IE- if you buy the car for say 1500 and then need to put 6k into it to get it up and running well again, than figure that into the equation.

When I found my car for example, it was also a more or less non-runner in a barn, but after looking it over big time I also knew that

-the body/frame was excellent
-interior was near perfect

-engine and tranny were freshly re-built and in good shape.

-I ended up paying around 3k for mine

Then it was a matter of doing all the little stuff to get it back on the road as a safe driver. And even then, I probably spent 2-4 k in parts and labor (for stuff that I didnt want to do my self.

-Good luck
