Picking upon a recent thread, how much is a Perfect, Mint Concours level 914/4 car worth, if you could even find such a car to purchase?
I have seen Concours-winning, fully-restored 914/6 cars go for $20-25K, which seems about right, but I never hear anything about a 914/4 in similar condition. This is the car I mean: 73-74 2.0L, with all accessories *Perfect, Mint, Concours winning condition *No PO 'upgrades' *Fully restored or original in every way *NO RUST ANYWHERE My guess is it would take the following to make such a car, if you do most of the disassembly/reassembly work yourself: 5K Good original sound, complete car, needing restoration 4K Engine/trans rebuild 2K Wheels/tires/brakes/suspension restoration 4K Paint/bodywork 2K Plating/new exterior trim 2K New uphostery/interior 2K Misc weatherstripping/top refurb/missing parts 20-22K Total My guess is this car might sell somewhere in the $12-15K range. What would you pay as a buyer? |

Hi Jeff & Tahoward,
Thanks for the kind words on my car & Jeff great article on LE's. I believe my restored (Aug. Excellence) 914 qualifies as mint restored. I have been asked what my price is & it's $25 big ones if I decide to sell. I believe anyone who has the desire & money will step up & pay the price. I have $15K in parts alone, plus another $6k in outside services or a total of $21k into the car including my $400.00 purchase. I also have over 2000 of my free manhours in the restoration that's worth something. I believe any restored car will have 2000 to 3000 manhours plus material costs. Do the math & you approach big bucks having a professional restored car. Of course I didn't consider costs when I did my restoration. It was a labor of love. I understand not everyone has the money or effort to do what I did but you can be sure & back in the next five years and say "would have , should have" because the cost & availabilty of good 914's are drying up. Hope this picture comes through to show you the level of detailing. I have been a lurker & just had to respond. Thanks everyone. My 4 kicks butt on a local 6's till we hit 100. Right Gary!!
