This "nice" barn find has been languishing on Ebay for some time now with an asking price of $69k.
There is likely a reason why it's not selling....

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Porsche-914-o...xdI&vxp=mtr

Guess you could just drive this car as is???
But if it was me (the new owner), the door jams, trunks, engine compartment would always be letting me down, so the drive to make it nicer would always be in the back of my mind driving me crazy.

To make this car really step up to the next level, it likely needs a quality paint job (~$25k), rebuilt driveline (~$30k+), lots of new seals, interior refreshing, etc, etc.
Doing all the necessary work the right way doesn't come easily or cheaply.

By the time you add all this to the asking price of $69k, it really doesn't make much sense unless these cars are starting to go for nearly $150k.
There is another British racing green 914-6 on Ebay that is asking $145k.
These cars really are following the footsteps of the early 911 price explosion.
