I plan on selling my 1973 1.7L. I have done a lot to it and I'm hoping to get around $6.500.00 for it +/-. Am I being realistic?
It runs and drives great. and it's 100% rust free. So far, I have rebuilt the pedal assembly; New Good Year tires; New outer door handles; New gear shift knob; Refinished the vinyl side sail panels; Replaced the bumper rubber top pads; New window scrapper rubbers; New trunk molding, front & rear; New rear GT spoiler; Older repaint but stil looks VERY nice. From 10 feet away, it looks absolutly new. Nice black interior with new seat covers.

FWIW, that price ($6,500) is in-line with what I paid for my '73, a CA born 'n raised car with extremely minor rust just like you say this one has, and very similar well-keeping as yours. So I think it's a very fair asking price, given the caveat about rust in hard-to-see places.
Also, mine had a 2.0 bus motor running on 3-cyl most of the time, so factor that in your equation. I think it's much more about rust than anything else when it comes to selling price/purchasing decisions for 914s. EDIT: "extremely minor rust" means, in this context, surface rust only with no ... read that as "none at all" ... rust that would damage the structural integrity of anything. A very nice find, Joe O'Brien tells me. Just had to upgrade the hell hole repair and clean surface rust off the undercarriage after soda-blasting stripped the paint.
