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? |

I can tell you from experience you will regret it. My 1st Porsche 914 was acquired in 1982; I lovingly restored it to be daily driver, even did a color change, I did it with little money while in college, I traded it in when CA smog laws became enacted and traded it into a brand new 1986 Jetta GLI. I traded the GLI in for a 1974 911 coupe, that car sat in my garage for 8 years; I got married, got 3 kids, mortgage, etc. I have since been driving a SUV 1991 Rodeo. After savings, I was able to use the 911 as down payment for a 1983 SC cabriolet. It sat around for 3 years. I sold that cabriolet and have since gotten a 914; from the moment I drove the 914, it brought memories long forgotten. Even though I drive it less than 10 miles a month, I derive vicarious pleasure from its go-cart like feeling. The upshot of this diatribe is that you WILL REGRET IT. my 2cents.
