I have just posted my car for sale with all of the photos on the link below. I have included all of the information from my ad as well. I am looking to get a proper value for the car. I am thinking it is worth around 12k but would like your professional opinions if I could. Please see the link below for all the photos.

Up for sale 75-914. This car is near concourse and is rust free. I purchased this about 6 months ago and have to sell it due to space issues and one of them has to go. This car was originally from Sacramento and now is located in Fresno. It has 115,000 miles on it and runs great. The A/C unit has been refurbished and blows extremely cold air (better than my 87-930)

This is what has been done in the last 6 months. I have spent well over $1,500. You could drive this car cross-country and never have any issues... she runs beautifully and will make someone very happy. Never been repainted and all original.

- 73-74 SSI's with new muffler (all heat pipes, brackets and hoses are brand new or reconditioned) I have all original components and they are in great shape as well.
- New bushing set for shift linkage (all bushings including inside car)
- New vacumn hoses
- New Red Top Optima Battery
- New Fuel Pump
- New 19mm Master Cylinder
- Brakes have been blead and replaced with dot blue brake fluid from this site.
- Engine dropped and 35 year maintenance performed
- distributor cap
- rotor
- spark plugs
- spark plug wires
- engine temp sensor
- dist. rotor
- points
- coil
- fuel lines
- painted intake pipes (aestethics only)
- cleaned injectors
- condensor
- belts (A/C and Alternator)
- engine seals (all the way around were replaced)
- Brand new A/C compressor ($300)
- New A/C lines out of compressor)
- New engine lid/Window seal
- New Kenwood Radio (Ipod and USB hook up) with new speakers
- New Center dome light between seats
- Any sensor on motor that needed to be replaced or wire that was brittle was replaced



There is more I'm sure but cannot remember. This was owned by an 80 year old guy for about 15 years and looks like it has never has been in the sun. The seals are all soft and not cracking but do show some age. The car is in exceptional shape. I would love to keep it if I could. I have had a lot of fun making the car reliable and it runs like it is new. The A/C is the better more robust of the two versions that were available back in the day and it has the heat combo gage in the dash that I know is rare. The interior is flawless and the sheep skin covers are there only to protect them from wear and tear. Also, no cracks in the dash of any kind.

Price: $12,000, PPI's are welcomed

I think you will find a buyer for your car at your price. I know someone looking at a 996 for $21k. When I look at what he could get for $12k, .... well, I know which one I'd buy. The question is when... if you can afford to sit on the car, eventually someone will want a car that is all done. The 996 shopper I mentioned earlier also lives in SC so a/c is a +. Nice solution to the pcv vent... I see your cannister is in the engine bay.

Great looking car. Should pull $12K from the right buyer. Some say the best way to gauge current market values for cars like the 914 is to follow several Ebay auctions for cars similiar to yours. Also see whether "Buy it Now " sales are moving.

As always (beating a dead horse) your 914 is worth exactly what the buyer is willing to pay and you're willing to take for it. No more, no less. And, BTW, a concourse is a large open hallway; a concours is an exhibition.
