This is my wife Minerva's 1973 914 2.0 that she purchased new in May of 1973. It has about 83,000 miles and we are working to get it back on the road by May of 2013 for it's 4-th birthday. Here's what we've done so far.
Nice looking car! Where in NC are you?

Okay, don't laugh, I am working on it a lot now. I have one fender replaced and soon to start on the drivers side. Then comes the floor boards and trunk floor.

Yeah, you probably should have kept the fastback just as I should have kept my '66 911, one of only a little over 3200 manufactured worldwide that year. And mine had the wood dash trim and OEM Nardi wheel and gas heater. I bought it in 1976 for $3000 sold it in 1979 for $4500 and thought I did great, I mean a 50% profit! today you can expect to shell out $50 ~ 75,000 for a driver. Shsssh, who knew!?! At least my wife had the good sense to keep her 914 and we're never gonna sell it.

You shouldn't have sold your '66. IIRC, only 3,154 '66 M/Y 911s were manufactured .
As for values increasing, a restored '64 911 sold at an RM Amelia Island auction earlier this year for $225k

Here's a shot of the beast...recent LS1 V-8 conversion. I've never really had a habit of naming cars, but I kinda like Steffi. I mean, all cars are female, she's German yet resides in Vegas (coincidentally, the home of Renegade Hybrids!), powerful, tennis ball yellow, a product of the 1970s (well, junior tennis coming up through the ranks at least!). I'm debating about putting a small Chevy logo on the car somewhere, but I don't like clutter for the most part.

When the car was purchased it had a 1.7L motor.
The case was cracked, so a 1.7L case from a vw bus was used.
The cylinders were reconditioned, and a 1.8L piston set installed.

What's the value on a Porsche
914/6, 1970? I'm looking for info on my car that I want to sell. I'm near Seattle, WA and the car belonged to my husband. He died in 2010 and I've finally decided it's time to sell it. I posted pictures and info on this site link. There is a local Porsche guy who is interested in buying the car. He has a Porsche shop in Seattle. I'd love to get some feedback before I have him look at the car. My husband drove the car from 1979-1980 and it's been stored inside ever since. The engine is under the car. Thanks!

Sorry to hear of your loss, Andrea.
Prices are subjective, and depend on the condition of the car and it's components.
I see the drive train (engine and possibly, the transmission) are out of the car. Do you know why? Is there anything else you know about the car that you can share here?
There are several members here that live in Washington who could look at the car to determine how sound the chassis is, which is the most important piece of the pie.
I'd take a gander that it's worth at least $10k on the low side, maybe even $15k if there are minimal rust issues in the chassis. If the drive train is in good running condition, you could possibly add a couple to a few thousand on top of that. Someone may even pay you more than $20k
Don't let someone try to tell you it's only worth $5k. Try getting a non-interested party (familiar with 914/6s) to perform an inspection for you.
EDIT:
I just noticed your link. You have provided some good information.
My Best Regards ...
Note to Andy: It's VIN# 9140430725, Motor# 6400321
AndreaH,
Sorry to hear of your loss.
I agree with EURO911. 914/6's bring a nice price, so don't let someone give you a lowball price. You may consider posting a add in the classifieds here and also asking for help from some of the Seattle crowd to price your car. You may even get some of the guys to get the car running and increase the price that way. A BBQ and some beer would go a long way and the 914 owners up here in the PNW are great at helping other 914 owners. I think an add in the garage for assistance would be great and you might be surprised at the offers of help.

THANK YOU - everyone...
I've had great response and am having someone look at the engine this weekend. I am confident that the car can fetch at least $15,000 and have some trusted sources to help me deal with this. I'll post an update on my website when we figure the price. My husband had a crazy attachment to this car that I don't get but - there are lots of Porsche fans out there and I'll find the perfect fan for his car.
Cheers!

If this is the original engine, i would *not* sell it separately. The car will be worth significantly more with a matching engine.
