Greetings!
I’ve owned this ‘73 since 2000 and have looked after it as a daily driver for years. It’s now time to let it go. I initially never had concerns with a Salvage Title, but now realize just how important it is and that it’ll never really go away. 1973 Porsche 914 2.0 - Salvage Title - Purchased in 2000 for $5,000 84,000 miles Vin Numbers match throughout. Delphi Green Metallic (repainted, with original color) Vinyl-covered roll bar Dual horns Chrome bumpers Fog lights 5 1/2" X 15 Fuchs wheels 165/15 tires Leather-covered steering wheel and shift knob Center Console Center arm rest with storage compartment Original Blaupunkt Radio Dual Weber Carb installed (saved original D-Jet too.) Engine runs great Transmission solid Brakes solid Moderate rust, but nothing structural except the Left Rocker Panel - rust from battery Seats have torn/broken vinyl I’m reaching out for some creative feedback regarding what I might ask for this car…or more importantly, what I might get for this car! Thanks In advance!! Mōsh in Durango Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() |

Why did it get a salvaged title?
What is the extent of the issues now? I feel like this is becoming more of a moot point given the number of cars that have had the majority of their parts replaced and chassis rebuilt from swiss cheese rusted hulks. Unless you are talking about the high value, low mile barn finds I generally look at a 914 as the value of the sum its parts. If what you have is solid, doesn't really matter what is written on a piece of paper. |

All VIN numbers match, paint deep inside matches and all the stock parts are there…sweet if the title was clean. (That was my initial plan - to a 100% stock restoration). |
