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!!

So, OP, are you guessing it was salvaged due to a left front fender hit or do you know that for a fact? Any documents to support that assertion? Also, if it has Webers it is not 100% stock except for the left front fender.

OK, that aside, I agree with others. One should judge this car based upon actual condition today. Do a thorough PPI and look for the rust we all know is there and determine to what extent it is there. Thanks to the OP for taking some great pictures. We can now see extensive rust in all of the usual spots. That car will need a complete rotisserie restoration of the chassis. I would put the value, considering the rust, at about $2K unfortunately. I hope this car is saved and repaired correctly. The OP has had this car for 20 years and that counts for something. Also, a great color. Good luck with the sale.
