What is my 914 worth?, ... considering selling depending on value Options

[vesnyder]

Despite all the work (including blood and sweat, literally) I am considering (remote possibility) selling my 914. Much of it depends on what I can get for it? I have a salvage titled '73 914 that has undergone a complete amateur restoration over the past 18 months. Everything outside of the rear brakes and bearings have been done and renewed or replaced. I just completed resealing the engine and it was a success. Many of you have tracked my projects and I was just wondering what it is worth? I will most likely drive it through teh remainder of the Summer and if I do decide to sell will most likely be in the Spring when I can maximize my return - but what do you think - $5k or $8k - or am I dreaming even getting $5?

I've been watching the asking prices and I get the feeling that it all depends. It almost seems that those of us outside the south west actually get a premium for our cars. Supply and demand I suppose - not many of them left up here. If your frame is unmolested and the car is complete then I would consider $8k reasonable. If the body has been restored well and the car complete then the $5k would be interesting to me (not that I'm buying right now ;-)

In Ontario I've seen 'no rust' original paint rollers with a $4k asking price. There is a solid unmolested LE cremesickle with excellent new paint available for $10k unassembled and $15k assembled. Prices are just nuts. It just depends on the available buyers.
