Just Inherited My Grandpa's 1970's Porsche 914 HELP ME! Pi Options

[franco858]

Hello and thank you for looking at my post. I just inherited my grandpa's 1970's Porsche 914 and am trying to get an idea on it's value and I also have some questions. I've included some pictures so all of you experts can share your knowledge. I was told by my grandfather that this is a 1972 model, however, after researching paint colors from that year I could not find this particular color. With that said, my questions are below and I would grealty appreciate and and all feedback. Thanks!

1. What year is this car
2. What is it's approximate value


More imporant info:

1. This car has been stored in California since day 1, thus theres no rust underneath the car

2. The odometer reads 54K and so I am assuming the car has 154k miles on it

3. I was told that the engine was completely rebuilt about 5-7 years ago

If there's any important info I've left out, please let me know and I will try and get it to you guys. Thanks again!

-Franco

Franco,

As to the value of the car, the market for these cars is pretty soft right now. It could bring anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on physical and mechanical condition. You can get an idea of what people are asking on Craig's List. If it is running okay the best payback you can get is to keep it and drive it. There are a lot of folks here in the Bay Area who are in various states of restoring or maintaining these cars. Bring it by for one of the 914 breakfasts and we can fill you in on the joys and challenges of owning a 914.
