Robin and I are going to LV next week for the Barret-Jackson auction. They are selling a '76 914. The car is scheduled for Friday morning, about 10:00 am, what do you think it's worth and what do you think it's auction price will be? We'll take pictures before the bidding and post here.

Steering wheel - non-orig, but nice if the orig wheel comes with it.
Center console - looks right, except for the guage facing area.
Radio - yup, non-orig
Shift knob - looks OK to me
Carpets - can't tell from the pic, but they look kinda light
Door panels - this will probably hurt the most. Destroyed!

Still, it's a very nice 914 & I'm betting on 15.5 - 17.0.


REDO! After seeing the subsequent pics, including poor panel fit & a non-detailed engine, and crap carpet, and on & on - this is a 10K 914 at BEST. Not that I would touch it for half that price.

It's more than normal, but I'll guess $12,700. The 914 stereotype still remains and this may hinder a higher price.

I would have guessed all the above as well, except the carpet (I didn't notice).

Please correct me if I am wrong here, but didn't all front bumpers '73+ have nipples and '74+ have them as well? Plus, the hood crest & the rear PORSCHE reflector were from 911's as well.

The previous owner (IMO) seems to have been a bit vain/superficial with the add-ons.



Hm...
