I have posted this on Steve's behalf to help him out. He is not that familiar with the online forums, and is retiring. His daughter is helping liquidate his inventory.
He is a former 914/6 racer and seems to know these cars well, says he has lots of 914/4 and 914/6 parts, incl NOS Steve Aven Orange CA 714 349 8911 steve556@aol.com Contact him directly. |

Jeff, you might help them understand the realities of pricing their 914 parts stock on evilbay, since everything I've seen so far has been way over dealer price for most of the NOS items still available, as well as for recent prices on NLA items in NOS.
Sad to see him leave, but I understand his health issues are serious. |

Hey Jeff,
I have to agree with Tom. Prices are not at market. I know his inventory well, as I have been through the place 3 times touring what was available with his manager. Some interesting stuff, but not that interesting at NOS prices, and not really being NOS. Truly, most of the stuff has not been touched in years. Not that there isn't a fair set of jewels to be discovered! It may be very hard for his daughter to figure things out. I offered to help inventory and list the stuff on 914World when Steve the manager was still there in 2010. I tried an experiment in 2010, because I knew less then than now. One of the nicest things he has is a set of 914-6 GT trailing arms and brakes with stiffening plates. Painted black, and pretty nice setup. The sell price was about triple the estimated value from people on here. I gave up at seeing that last year. I heard from several old hands here that the price was off the charts. He has that Orange 914-6 racecar, and several other cars on premise that are rollers. Not sure what is even left right now. Did he close the shop or is the new mechanic still working there? It is truly sad that Steve Aven is not well, but it will be some feat to untangle what the items are really worth. SoCal Andy knows the shop quite well. Maybe he knows more about it? Steve has more 356 stuff than I have ever seen in 1 place.
