Asking price and selling price are two completely different things.

Wishful thinking by this seller.

This car is stunning and very exceptional. Why is it priced so low? If only I needed another 914....prices of these original, pristine 914s seem to be on a rocket ride lately...note the car that 73Phoenix20 is selling in the classifieds....claims he has received 2 18K offers...he rejected holding out for more....

It pays to keep em stock boyz.....

He'll probably get $18,000 for it.

There are people out there with a lot of money to spend on toys.

The price is rite...

Mines not that origional and I have refused 10k twice.
Glad to see prices are goig up...wait till gas reaches 6$+ and people discover a whole new appreciation for the 4cyl sports car.

fingers crossed
Later

would you really turn down 2 $18k offers just to get another $1500 (maybe)?

nice car though. i would have taken the first $18k offer and been done with it.

but contrary to popular belief ( on this website anyway) i think this is good news for our little cars.

People who "don't really need to sell" are always going to
hold out for the one guy out there willing to pay really top
dollar.

I have $20k in mine, and it's a hunk of steaming pooh.

If it really is as pristine as they claim, it's worth it. I wouldn't take less than $30k for my original 6 that's been in the family for the last 35 years, and yeah, I'd better like you too.

That being said. The cars I've seen in this club at some of the events I've been able to attend just blow me away. I just love the work I've seen on them. Everytime I go to a event and see the other guys cars, I drive home thinking, 3.o-3.2l, flare it, bigger wheels, etc, etc. Then I remember that there aren't too many all orginal 6's left and calm down.

Gotta say, you guys and your cars rock, and you should get top prices.

it hard to tell but the radio dosnt look stock?

That might actually get that asking price if that car is really as nice as it looks. And I hope so too.

I wish mine was stock

I don't.

Yours is the most Bitchin' ride I've seen.

It looks like the car I sold last year for $8500. But mine was a 73' 2.0L, not that perfect of course.

Mine is stock!

GD do I love Marathon Blue! Happen to know where an original mint 74 1.8 one is hiding too. Also know where an original mint Cobalt Blue 914-6 hides however the owner doesn't seem interested in selling(yet). Gotta love the metallic paints. How could someone buy a 74 2.0 with appearence group, performance group & tinted windows but not have chrome bumpers with the appearence group? How is this possible? The radio is Definitely not original! But it looks like that's it.

I just noticed, it appears to have late model guages. I know it is possible for a late production 74 to have late model guages. can you tell what month it was produced by the vin #?

I thought all 74's had the later style gauges? I tried to look it up in the Factory Parts Manual, but it does not tell me anything about the year or vin # change for any of the gauges. It does show 3 or 4 different part #'s for speedo's for the 4 cyl. It actually shows a different part # for 155 series tires and 165 tires

Rich @ HPH has said the factory used parts until they ran out. Where it gets really confusing is that I have seen 75 with early guages and the car was bone stock original, and 74s with late model guages. Rich said there was no exact science to the changes, they just used what they had that day.

My early 1974 VIN (last four 1465) car has early gauges and lots of 1973 parts... I know they are original...silver center gauges, wide oil temp red band, metal badging, etc.

The LE cars Vins start at around (VIN last four) 14300 and they all have later style guages. I have also seen a 74 around VIN 7800 still with early style gauges. So it sounds like they ran out of the old style gauges somewhere around Nov/Dec 1973
