THIS IS NOT A SALES AD


I am starting to think about putting one of my 914's up for sale - specifically my 1975 Ivory 1.8 63,000 original mile car. While its a fantastic survivor, I now have two new stablemates (73 911S Targa and a 74 2002tii) that have arrived and I need the space. When ready I will list it here first. My question is what is a fair and reasonable[u] price to ask in todays market?

The mileage doesn't mean that much without extensive documentation. And even then, it takes a back seat to the three main factors in the price:

Condition
Condition
Condition.

What kind of shape is it in? Don't just answer "excellent, of course!" You have to take a good hard look and be super critical. Any hints of rust in the usual areas? Engine running nicely? Gearbox not grinding?

To get top dollar, the car has to be as close to perfect as humanly possible. The price generally drops a whole lot with the first few imperfections...
