I've mentioned my interest in the past year to find another pristine car. I realize just how hard the search may be but I'm actually quite patient. Realize there are a few of these cars around but they just don't come up very often. Some of you know that I did find a beautiful '73 survivor. Love the car but my wife and I are both fanatics about survivor cars and we've come to love the 914's.
Not looking for restorations or repaints. Looking for a Sahara Beige Steve-type car. Even better if it is a unique color like Steve's or the classic 70's green's and orange cars. And even better if it is an original owner car. I hear Pat Garvey may have a really nice car but not the time to sell apparently. I'm patient and in fact buying one one in 6-12 months is a bit better for me than today but I'd like to start the search and if one came up quickly I'll give it some real hard thought as to pulling the trigger. The next interesting question is what a pristine car would go for these days. Have not seen anything like this being sold in the past 12+ months. I have some thoughts but hard to say. Always interested if anyone here knows of one out here..... Thanks Steve |

Yes, hard to find. Last year I sold an all original 71 for $17.5. Today that would be a $22k + car. 2 years ago I sold an all original 74 1.8 for $22. That same car is for sale in Germany now for $45k. It was. 22,000 mile survivor in perfect showroom condition.
A less than perfect but rust free car is going to be $15-20k now. |

I'm fully expecting that the right car is north of $30k.....how far north just depends upon how original and pristine it is. I'd prefer a '73 or "74 2.0 which narrows the pool of cars even more. But as I said, I'm willing to take the time to find the right one. |
