...Depends on what your goals for the car are...

I'm sorry, I wasn't really able to answer the question that you asked, and I kinda took this thread in a different direction. I can't really speak to what these things are actually selling for, as I'm not constantly swapping cars (no funds for that). I just hate to see someone dump a 914 just because there's some work required, because you can get a perfectly restored 914 and not two months later have things that need to be done to it. It's just the nature of these old cars. Plus, you're never gonna get what you put into it as far as money goes. Also, and I think I'm kinda old school this way, it's just way cooler if you do the work yourself. It makes driving the thing so much more enjoyable.
I think the above question is the best one to be asked right now. What are your goals for the car? Figure that out, figure out what it'll take to get there, and then decide if it's worth keeping or worth selling.... It's a give and take situation either way.
Playing with cars is always a hole to throw money into. The question is whether you'll get what you really want for your money. Whatever your goals are, there are people here who will help you reach them. Nobody knows how to do everything,(though some people think the do) and that's why the community is important. SOMEONE will have the knowhow to get done what you need to get done.
Again, sorry to misdirect your thread. If you want to know what 914s in your condition are selling for, I'd say your best bet is to look on The Samba, Ebay, Kraigs List, 914 World Classifieds, 914 Club classifieds, ect, and just make your best guess. Hope we were able to help today.
