I may go look at a 1974 914 2.0 on Saturday. It's in kind of rough shape, and was wondering what y'all thought about it.
I've seen some fair-to-poor quality photos. The car has peeling clearcoat on the trunk lid, so it has been repainted at some point. It has some rust showing in the front trunk and the owner says there's a few rust holes under the driver's seat. The battery tray is rather rusty too, but no idea on the hellhole (probably not good, considering the tray's condition). It appears to have the appearance package and the performance package. The pictures show vinyl on the sail panels and the COA says it came with sway bars. The car hasn't run in 4 years. He says it was running fine and then just quit on the highway. He thinks it just needs a new fuel pump, but he really doesn't seem to know and doesn't appear to have any interest in fixing it. I'm guessing that if it was just the fuel pump, he probably would have had it fixed by now. The tires look old, and I'm sure the brakes need going-through too. It has been stored in a parking garage for the last four years. So, not directly exposed to the weather, but not really protected either. What do y'all think it might actually be worth? He's asking $8000, but that seems rather optimistic. I'd like to get a reasonable idea of the value before I go look at it. Thanks! |

I've been doing cars for four decades. When you run across a guy like this seller, you will notice first off........they think they are a big shot business man by asking X for product. After watching all the fluff seen on car auction T.V they are convinced.
In the mind of the seller they think it is worth it. Reality plays no part in their bizzaro concept of the real world. Oh' sure, some unsuspecting dolt may come along and buy it and soon realize he will lose his money as the car is beyond any sense to restore. As the old saying holds true today "there is an arse for every seat" So it sits, unsold, waiting for a fool to plunk down the money. |
