Living where I live I only have one Auto Appraiser in town. ($350 for an appraisal) I know we don't do this for the money but I feel he might have under valued my car as he came in 50% less in value than my '72 1.7.
I would like to know what the worlds foremost authority on 914's think. Afterward I will tell all what he appraised my car at and hopefully I can take this to him and have him re assess the value. I'm just finishing a restoration and want to get my car insured before I store it for winter. Here is what the car has. 1973 2.0 2.0 engine and drive line from an original 38,000 mile car.( I have known this car since I was a kid) Engine compression tested at 135 psi(x4), then torn down and re sealed and gasket ed and painted GT red. (Ok I made the GT red thing up) Same with transmission. Monza 4 pipe exhaust Car - rotisserie restored - frame up similar to thread "Restoration From Hell"(will post my own thread later this winter.) including new frame rails, new floors new door sills and new sail panels. GT FG Flares Custom steel rockers Custom rear wing Custom Electric Mirrors Custom gray and black interior including seats from 88 Corolla SS inserts in dash and console. Front and rear swaybars- OEM New brakes - all around New brake lines and hoses - all around New brake, clutch and speedometer cables New Tie rods and ball joints New Shocks all around 5 bolt conversion 996 Rims and new tires FG front and rear 916 kit with custom driving lights and grill New carpet New front and rear trunk gas shock kits New signal lenses Custom high mount rear brake light Black painted aluminum trim Momo Dino Steering wheel Audi VDO Gauges Alpine MP3 CD player Excellent condition 38.000 mile(24 year indoor stored car) complete rubbers all around (with the car I still have the complete original '75 38000 mile cherry interior) I'm sure there is much more that I am lissing but you get the point. What do you think? BTW the pictures in the garage don't do it justice. Attached image(s) |

The car is riding high in the front, I still have an alignment to do and wheel spacers to put on.
I'm not worried about what I have into it because in true 914 fashion I shopped for deals and I won't loose any money on the car. The appraiser was impressed with the interior and said it only brought the value down by $500 to $700. It is sooo much more comfortable that I think it is worth it. I think any 914 driver who sits in it would be happy to pay par for it. |
