So I may regret asking for opinions because I suspect that the reactions will be all over the board but here goes...
As mentioned in another thread recently I'm new to 914's and interested in buying a very original '73-'74 2.0 or 6. Just today had an owner contact me about possibly purchasing his '73 2.0. While I'v only seen pictures of the car, I will say that, based upon the couple hundred pics and documents provided, its safe to say that this is truly a well documented survivor. One owner car until July of this year (41 yrs). The car has 44k original miles. Original paint, perfect like new interior, original porsche mats, original paint markings (even on the wheel lugs) and factory stickers in all of the right places. No rust. I suspect it is one of the more original 914's around. I have not seen the car in person yet but I've purchased a lot of original cars and I think its safe to say that this one will likely, upon complete inspection, be confirmed as a true survivor of very high quality....not just a nice original. So...with that said, I'd like some help. What is top market for a car that is a true very high quality '73 2.0 appearance group survivor? I know you'll likely ask for pics and additional information. I don't have those to share in the moment. I believe the current owner is a member here and will likely be able to sit back and enjoy the varied comments here as much as I do...so let it rip!. What is top market for a car like this? What is the highest you have seen car like this go for....a really nice one. 30's?, 40's?, 50's? Appreciate your input. I'm interested in the car but really need to be comfortable I'm paying top dollar for a top....but not over-the-top dollar. |

I can pick up a very nice restored but real 6 for $50K. More than $25K for a 4 is too much. Still curious, are you looking for a car to drive or just garage eye candy?

Are you saying we could routinely pick up nicely restored 6's for 50k or you know of a car that is priced well under market? The last few needs nothing 6's I've seen have been significantly more than that. Plenty in the 50k range, but those aren't the condition he's describing. I too would love to see pictures of the 2.0 under consideration, I don't think that price is crazy, depending on the car. Low mileage, cared for, original paint preservation class quality cars are few and far between. I'd be tempted, but not sure I'd sell mine at that price, where would I find another? I haven't seen a car like that for sale for years, they rarely make it public. Nice original paint realistically adds 25-33%. On nice early 911's and 912's, it could be more. I sold my nicely restored 912 for 68k. Had it been original paint instead of restored, it could have easily been in he 90's, and that's over a year ago. You have to understand that nice cars don't make it to eBay or Craigslist. They sell privately or at auction, the caliber of car he is describing is a top 1% car. If you just want a nicely restored 914, mid to high 20's sounds right. |
