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?

You are nit dreaming to ask 5K. If you check the other ads for cars you see wher anotherowner is asking $17K for a low miage 1973 2.0L. The completeless helps sell ir for a higher price. I see in the picture a rocker panel is not there. Check out on the www.samba.com for cars for sale as a comparison. You may do better with it in the midwest due to the scaricity of clean cars. Ask 9K OBO. You can always come down but not up. Good luck.
