914-6 Valuation Options

[RJdiego]

I finally decided to part with my 914-6 that I have owned since 1978. I was hoping to get some advice regarding the value of the car. The car was last driven in 1982, has approx. 80,000 miles. It is in need of a complete restoration in my opinion. Needs paint...pretty good body, straight with some minor rust in the rear trunk near the lights, and the front trunk seal area. The engine has not been started in 25 years, yet is complete and 99% original with matching numbers and a certificate from Porsche. The only changes that I am aware of are stainless fuel lines and 2 post oil sender. Still a stock 2.0 ltr. The targa top is smooth and painted and the targa sails have had the vinyl removed.

I have been checking ebay for comps, but the prices seem all over the place.
I would really appreciate some honest evaluations. I have not messed with the car much in the last 20 years and don't know much about repair cost today nor parts prices or availability.

Thanks for your help.

I do not see how ebay, an auction that you have no way of knowing the actual results on the final bid, is any way to value anything!!!
If you are just looking to sell the car then by all means put it on ebay with no reserve and wait for the bids to come in.
Values are determined by "actual" sales, not ones that are inflated by outside and inside bidders.
Auctions do not determined value.period All they show you is what someone is emotinally willing to pay for an item.
