For example there are two customers cars here. One 1971 original fuel injection original pant (90%) every single original receipt since new including the original drive out tag, runs great, new tires, non appearance group car never never damaged, TOTALLY rust free, (except for the replacement of the original battery tray only, would need paint to be perfect, the guy wants $4950.00
Second one 1974 2.0 appearance group fuchs bilstein suspension package (includes front and rear sway bars and fuchs alloys) new tires one (now 85) year old owner since 1975, Totally rust free, has had a new front panel installed years ago and the left front fender repaired, and the car was repainted, the paint is now faded, and we just had to rebuild the engine for him because of a dropped valve seat,TOTALLY rust free $8500.00 These are examples of commonly available 914s that I would approve as well as approve the prices. The car in question in this thread just needs to much to justify the higher prices of the above cars. It is really too bad that their are few 914 bargains around these days. |
