What is my 914 worth?, '73 Salvage Title Amateur Restoration 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?

Sports Car Market price guide gives the Porsche 914-4 73-75 1.8 $5000-7500
2.0 $6000-$9000.
It is all dependent on the condition of your car, and the person who buys your car. You can put it out their for $9000. But it had better be a pristine 2.0 with no stories or it is going to languish in your garage through the winter and up until next summer, when you try to sell it once again, at a reduced price.
Don't wait, get the car out on the market right now. Clean it and wax it and make it look the best it ever has, or people will just say thanks but I will keep looking.
Put the car on ever list that you can think of, and don't think that ebay is evilbay. I have sold a number ogf cars on ebay. It reachs that broadest market and it has the potential to pressent your car to the world. I just sold a 914-6 to a fellow in Spain.
Good luck.
