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.

These are cars I have bought.

Wrecked the $600.00 one by spinning out of control in water and slamming a concrete wall (didn't hurt the wall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

The other two I bought in the last month.  Every once in a while you run into "deals".

What are you looking to spend on a good body?

Well, I don't really know. If I can get a car that doesn't need to see a body shop for the engine bay / longs / trunks, that just needs some surface rust prep and then a paintjob... around 2k with transport to Nashville will be where the wife will allow it.

I have an engine and an interior to put in it (the engine needs some love, but I want to play with that anyway, and there won't be much cost associated with that) I even have wheels that I like (8 spoke empi style)

Not sure how likely that is, though.

So, until I 'luck' into a deal like that, I am tearing mine down and assessing the work as I go.

Got any clues where to look? I am keeping an eye on the pelican site and this one...
