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 would only buy a 914 with a salvaged title if there was thorough documentation of why and what was fixed, not just a "it was stolen then returned" story. These cars bend easily on impact (good thing for driver safety) and this will affect alignment....I am super sensitive to this now becuase the 914 I bought seems a little bent, but this was not noticeble at all until I got under the car and inspected thoroughly (dinged-bent A-arm collar, rub/dent on inner fenderwell). However, there are great deals out there from people that can't unload a salvaged car....hopefully you won't have that problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
