Hey all, newbie here.

My father-in-law passed away a decade ago. His 1972 1.7L 914 has pretty much sat in my mother-in-law's garage since that time. She's now moving into a managed care facility so it's probably time for it to get sold to someone who will love it.

I have absolutely no idea what to ask for it.

Single owner, never in any accidents, always garaged, original interior and paint in good shape. I believe the engine was rebuilt circa 2000. Also I think the door seals and such were done. There's probably paperwork I can find on these. ~140k miles. Ran fine a few years ago but has sat for a number of years.

What's the best way to zero in on a fair asking price? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.
