Nighty night.

There was an astonishing refinished 70 /6 on ebay about... 3 years ago, 2.2 update, and stock stock all over, with steels. Silver, everything new, everything. Complete restoration, on a low miles car.

Was 15k open, went to like 17 or something... what a shame.

That sounds about right to me 15 - 20 k

Anything over and it's getting emotional. (for stock)

Thanks for posting Aaron. Fun day at the show today. Glad you enjoyed the ride in the 914... Alittle inspriration to work on your project (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif). Dave's maluga red teener is absolutely stunning. It's really a remarkable car. Was quite a treat to see it at the show. I can only imagine a handfull left being in that kind of condition.

Dood, that was three years ago, when the same /4s that are suddenly 7k were 4k tops.

The car I am talking about would be an easy $25k car, not a survivor, but a 99pt resto, better than mint.

No options, steels..

A car I sold in early '04 for $12K went for $14 less than a year later and $17 (or was it $18?) a couple of months ago. Original, but far from "very nice". Holes all over from AC, weak repaint, repro. "fuchs". Just as with early 911's and 914-4's, the price of admission is rising rapidly.

I recall two in the $22k range in the last couple of months but don't have a link.

i agree to each his own..but  its an original six...id wrather see it stock

what is funny about comments like that is 30 years ago, heck, even 20 years ago, not many people gave a hoot that is was original, it was nothing really special way back then...now people see a "molested" 914/6 and get bent out of shape (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

how boring would it be if all the original cars had never been modified???? Think of the all the 914/6 race cars owned by individuals that would have never been built......

yes, you have the freedom of calling that /6 butchered, but don't think that it does not offend the current owner or perhaps a previous owner that built the car years ago....end of rant (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

It's the same with anything the supply drops off on, and the demand moves up.

914s have been below 'off the radar' forever.

In 1982, one could buy a 1959 Les Paul Std. for between 2500-4500, and those same guitars go for between $50-$200k+ now.

A collector car, is different than a driver. A NICE driver /6 is in the $20s.. a collector /6 could go for... 2x that, and more.

I guess Excellence will have to update their 914 market pages...

Debate all day, bring huge money, or buy a driver.

I guess you didn't see the 6 conversion that sold for $29k?

The Excellence Market report is CA skewed. It's a decent baseline, but it's not the gospel on 914 prices.

If I could buy excellent 73 &74 2.0's for $6500, I'd do it all day long and make an easy $2000, and sell every single one.

From my limited experience, those who confront high 914 prices haven't ever paid more than $3500 for a 914.

Ever do a quality restoration on a 914??? This is a factor in the pricing.

yes. i participated in a few. not once (!) have i seen the owner recoup his money in a sale. not even close. usually not even half.

you can't restore a 914 for profit ...
