Opinions on this '74 2.0? Options

[914Next]

I posted recently related to my interest in a very nice 2.0 or 6. Looking for all original and in excellent condition. Prefer original paint and this one has had one repaint but I like the fact that this one is a one owner until 2013. Looks like a very nice car. Are the 74 2.0's a good prospect? Looks to be very minimal rust although I don't see exposed rocker area and battery area pics are not great. Would be interested in opinions and questions to ask or issues to be concerned about with this car. Opening bid is $15k, Whats it likely worth?

Thanks

If it were completely factory stock and original this car would easily fetch a $25K or greater value. Great color on a 914. Condition is what determines the values of these old cars, and the condition of this car is exceptional. Engine size does not matter as much.

The things reducing the value of this car are what has been done to personalize it, most of which can be undone. I see exhaust, carbs, rear valence, oil cooler, and remote oil filter, polished Fuchs, wrong fuel pump and filter, and more hokiness. Mostly nit picky stuff...but important because they detract from the value and you may want to redo them. Then again, maybe you just want to enjoy it even with the modifications...they are not the end of the world.

Thanks for all of the helpful comments guys. Seems to be agreement on the fact that it is likely a good quality car. I'd like to have the hell hole, longs and batter box checked out a bit more. What would it cost to take this back to injected. Also, what is different about the rear valance?
