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) ![]() ![]() |

The front cowl rust is bad. That’s a pita spot to repair.
The sail panel rust is bad. Common spot due to the foam inside the targa bar. Rust at the rear trunk is common because water would always sit in the lowest point. The longitudinal rust is bad. The long is made of multiple layers of metal and is always a bigger repair than you think. Chances are the right rear suspension consoles need work. There is probably a lot more going on that will be exposed when these repairs are initiated. I’ll revise my estimate back to single digits. It’s a car that should be restored but will take a lot of work to get there. |
