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?

Allright guy's.. help me out here.

What is a concourse car ?? The Yellow car above is obviously a great car, but every pic posted has something "not correct" on the car.

The other day somebody posted a pic of a cherry engine compartment belonging to a guy who wins concourse events (and it had carbs) ????

I dont get it. When I visit the Palo Alto Concourse or Pebble beach... the cars are dead nuts stock, not SSI's and a coated Bursch.. or carbs.

This ranks right up there with "show winning" 1999 Boxsters ??? How hard could it be to keep a new Boxster clean ?? LOL
