'72 914 1.7L - whats it worth? Options

[Cal]

I looked at a local '72 1.7L that's for sale this past weekend. The current owner has owned it for the past 17 years and maintained it at a local Porsche mechanic. The car has had 3 owners since new and has 103K miles on it and is matching numbers. Its been repainted once in its original silver color back in the 80's. There's minor rust but doesn't appear too bad. I spoke to the mechanic that's maintained the car for the past 20 years and he said the car is in very good condition mechanically and structurally. Question......what's a car like this worth?

$5k? Really? I would guess about double that, if good leak down numbers.

I almost could not GIVE AWAY a driveable 1.7L with running FI and a lot of nice parts.
It had a decent interior, and bad paint but had major rust issues in the longs.
It took me 4 months to sell it for $900 just two years ago.

Haggerty's is a good guide if you are honest about its quality.

I live in Cali and my car has no serious rust issues.

I just had it appraised at 13K. It has some paint issues at the cowling intersection and some bubbling in the usual places...but no structural issues. I thought that was conservative.

All stock except the rims and the tire size and steering wheel.

I have people ask me about it all the time....but that is out here.
