Hi All,

I need to give up on the idea of getting my 914 on the road. I have no idea how to unload what I have or what it might be worth but I am relocating in a VERY short time and need advice.

I have:
1972 body with a new driver quality paint job
1973 body with drive train interior etc
Some other stuff including redone gauges, wiring harness, rubber package

I am relocating again for work (moving on Dec 2ish) and just cannot go through moving the cars again.
Thanks
Sean

Sounds like you are resigned to getting them "gone" vs any financial recovery.

Donate? maybe a local high school that still has shop class?

Low price online? no minimum bid on EBAY? A classified add here - $500-2500 just to get them gone?

To gain time, consign them to someone on here who is local and has storage space and then sell them. Consigned party gets half the proceeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Maybe Iwanna6 lives close by (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Move the car.
Even if you just sell it wen you get there.

A painted rust free body has value. I learned that when I tried to bid on a painted 2002 shell at an estate auction. Driver level paint only. Went for 14K.

If its had the rust work done and its sitting in paint, take the time to sell it proper, even if its a pain in the ass now. Don't just give it away here.

I'm in Petaluma, can trailer the cars to my place, I have space, and I can help sell, show the cars and parts, etc. No charges. Well, OK, maybe you kick in to help with fuel cost! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
PM me if I can be of any help.

..and if you go with Chris' generous offer, and he has the space - I can help with towing. As long as one of them is a roller, I have a dolly, tow vehicle - and I know where Chris lives!! Again, kick in for some gas money and we're good,

They both will roll but I wouldn’t roll them more than several feet on these tires which need air

Rollers tend to be problematic to ship. As the cars are often jockeyed around as they pick up and drop off. Making it in the way. You generally pay a premium.


If you can store it and keep it great. I think you may find some help here.

Hope it works out you can keep it, but life sometimes gets in the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

If you want a west coast roller, then you need to find someone with a truck and trailer that has vacation time. You also need beer. Lots of beer for the guy with the truck and trailer.

Then you have to either ride with them from Boston to the west coast and back, or spring for a round trip ticket to the west coast so you can ride both ways.

Good luck.

I've shipped rollers from across the country. Not easy to find a carrier but very doable.

Recently, my interest has turned to old International Harvester trucks. Had this one shipped from Nevada to SC. Cost was a little under $2K.

Some might balk at the cost. But, only those who haven't experienced the cost of rust repair. Those who have understand that's a helluva bargain.

I have a shipping broker I use who is VERY good at finding haulers. She's found trucks for me 6 times this year alone...and 3 of those were rollers (on in WI, one in PA and one in NV).

PM me and I'll give her info to anyone interested.
