I think this person is going to learn a hard lesson about the 914 market, and how one never sees a fraction of the money you sink into a restoration. What's your guess on what this will finally sell for?

what is on the rear bumper? a rack? there are no pics of the interior, hell hole, and battery tray area...doesnt say how many original miles the car has...if it was a low miles (documented) car, with original paint (a plus) he would probably get that....about 3 months ago on evilbay there was a delphi green metallic with low miles (supposedly documented) and I believe speaker hole cut outs in the door panel that sold for around 14,100 dollars. I dont doubt with more pics that he could get that kind of cash.

Looks like an average "nice" 914, He's getting close to 10g's too much on the price on the pictures given.

It's gotta be worth it! I love the stupid overrider! If it had a front one, it'd be worth $100 million.

You can't tell that from the pictures posted. If it is truely has 20K miles on a high quality restoration I'd say the car is worth $10K.

It doesn't say 20K miles since the resto, it says he SPENT $20K ON the resto.

I'd say $8K. He might get more on Ebay, and maybe he'd even get $15K, but if so, I'm going into the 914 restoration business.

Sorry, I misread it. Still, I think it's possible to get $10K out of a $20K restoration. You just can't tell the condition of the car from these little digital pics.
