914 For Sale Info Wanted - Newbie, 914 For Sale Info Wanted - Newbie Options

[Sanyata]

Hi Y'all:

I hope its ok to post this question here, as I don't know your rules.

We have a '74 914 that has been sitting around for years that we've decided to sell and have no idea what it is worth. This car has been owned by us for 29 years or so. We bought it from the original owner in '76.

It's a Special Edition model that was black and yellow. The reason I say "was" is because I painted the rocker panels, aprons and wheels black, thereby eliminating the yellow. However, all the serial numbers would match and verify it as a Special Edition.... don't know if that makes it more "special" but I'm sure you'll let me know. Other than painting the yellow over, I installed the plastic lens type thing that runs between the two rear tailight lens and relocated the fuel pump due to vapor lock.
Otherwise, the car is totally stock and in good to excellant condition. The speedometer quit working at 17,000 miles and a new one was recently installed so the actual milage is not verifiable. Having owned the car almost its whole life and knowing the usage and storage history, I feel confident that the actual milage is around 60,000 and would sign an affidavit as such. If you inspected the car, you'd probably guess less...that's how good of shape its in.

It has sat over the last ten years or so with very little use but always inside. So we took it to an independent porsche mechanic and had it gone over from top to bottom at great expense.... probably should have let the prospective buyer do this as I'm hoping they will be an enthusiast and would like to do it themself. The alternator is going out and will need replacement.

Paint, body and interior are good to excellant condition and original, except my painting over the yellow.

So, what is the price range that a vehicle like this would fall into?

I know you have a classified section here but are there other good places to advertise?

Thanks in advance for any and all input. I've been searching your forum for awhile and know there is a lot of knowledge out there.

Thanks Again!

Doug
