I would venture to guess around $3500 if you count both times I bought the car. Maybe $5000 if you count the 3 years of storage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here I am today with everything apart, again, moaning because I just found cracks in the crank journals & feeling like it's going to cost a lot to get another one, then I came across this thread & it makes me feel sooo GOOD! Like, I'm just at the very beginning of this money pit....It's great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Oh man, you just don't know. The 914 is downright CHEAP compared to the 911 or the (dare I say it) 928! I know! I had a 928, and my wife still has her 911. My 914 is CHEAP - CHEAP I say! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Ok, ok, so I've gone and modified it just a bit. Not that much really, but .... well.... there's no engine anymore, just batteries and a huge electric motor. Now if I could only get it off the jackstands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

I actually kept virtually every receipt since the day I purchased the $900.00 roller. I'm right at 30K but it's the last project car for me so I'm OK with that.

I'm not real good at keeping receipts or records, but after almost two years of ownership, my $6,500 car has now over 10k into it,...probably closer to 12. Replacing the engine sure jacks up the number.
But it's the most fun car I've ever owned, including an E type and a 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) And you can't beat the community (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

$1500 for both cars. One already pro body shop rust removed and painted as part of initial $1500 purchase price. $365 clutch kit. $40 for new pair of halogen Headlamps. Just under $2k and no big dollar items left to purchase. I might pick up a cylinder/piston kit for the 72's original 1.7l while I try out the 76's 2.0l in the 72 for now. Then when I get into restoring the 76...the price will start to jump a bit.

looking at the pole, the 20 people that said 0-1000 are either lying, kidding themselves, or they just got started.

Would be tough to figure that out since I've had the same car for nearly 42 years!! My other 914 which I've known of for almost 40 years I've owned for about 10, and as I trying to finish up its restoration, I definitely don't want to add that up!!!
I've got two grown "boys" and with two of them, they won't have to fight over one car, only who gets which one. And I hope they're not in a hurry, because I don't plan on surrending them anytime soon!! |

Considering the three rust bubbles on the driver's targa bar and the recently found rust bubbles below the windshield frame and a bad repaint by the PO on the rear trunk, I believe will now be about $1500 more than the previous ridiculous amount. After that I will get to 'rust free' until the next bubble appears.

I have no idea since I have owned it 33 years as of tomorrow. I am not sure I really want to know? It is one of the oldest things I own besides some old guns and baseball gloves. If I had to guess I would say 14 to 20K about half of where it will be when I am satified with it.
