914Club members. After much deliberation I have decided to get out of Porsches for a while. The Boxster is gone and I have just about talked myself into letting the 914 go.
(IMG:http://www.hifidesign.com/studio_ftp/hifi_uploads/914/1974_914.jpg) For those who don't know my car it is a 1974 with a few mods: Raby 2270 TYPE IV Full chassis & body restoration by Patrick Motorsport - New paint, sail panels, all rubber moldings replaced with Porsche parts, - New windsheild & windshield trim - Carerra front suspension and brake upgrades (5 lug conversion) - Coil overs in rear with PM rear brake upgrade (handbrake IS functional) - Adjustable front sway bar - Rebuilt Transaxle - Fiberglass decklids & bumpers - 6 x 16 Fuchs New interior using German materials from World Upholstery New interior & trunk carpets via Morphenspectra plus headliner Decklid struts & original Blaupunkt from Camp 914 Well over $50k spent to date, litterally no expense spared. Car has won it's class in 3 PCA events (out of 3 entered) and has been featured in a few Regional PCA mags. I hate to put it on eBay if I don't absolutely have to. I want to find it a good home and still get a fair price. So, what should I be asking for this car? What is it really worth in the market today? |

Brian, the car is sweet.
For the rest of you, I have had the opportunity to see the car several times. The car is perfect! As to value, I think you would get $25000 to $30000. It would take the "right" buyer who wants a show stopper. Someone willing to pay for something extra special. The car is special! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Too many still think you can still get a good 914 for $2500. Those days are past. Prices are going up and will continue to do so. The Barrett Jackson route sounds good to me. If you are interested I recently did business with one of their employees and I can put you in contact with her. The 2006 show is being organized now. Recently American Muscle has been hot, but with more and more auto makers producing two seat sports cars, the collector's interest may start turning to the older sports cars like the 914s. Brian, my suggestion: park her for a few months, ride your BMWs, meet me for Chineese, and reconsider again in the fall. PCA Phoenix Flight in in October. Would like to see you enter/win best of class or show there. |
