Suggestions on selling an original 6? Options

[rburks]

Howdy - I've been lurking for quite a while hoping I would get the spark back to get my 914s back on the road, but it appears my wife is winning out with remodeling the house and my garage space is ever dwindling.

So here is my dilema and question. I have two 914s, a 71 914-4 and an original 70 914-6 that have been garaged for almost 20 years now. We also have way more cars than we need (7 at this time), and the pressure is enormous by the wife unit to eliminate cars.

So if I am going to sell, I want to sell both at the same time and just not look back. I have owned both cars for almost 25 years and this will be tough. And selling won't be as much about money, as about selling to someone who is as passionate as I was when I bought them.

So any advice anyone can offer about how I should go about this? I don't even know what the current value is. But I know if I sell I want to sell it all and not look back (i.e., sell both together). Its a hard thing to part with these. Any advice appreciated.

PS - Posting here because my neighbor is a passionate member and folks here seem to genuinely love these cars.

Post some pictures and let's see those cars! There is a PCA member advertising two like cars for sale - are you him. Price was 25K for both. Red color? Both were running cars and in great condition. What condition are your cars in? Dave H

No I am not that guy. I have not advertised anywhere.

My 6 is black (repaint of orginal blue) with 56K. The 4 is green.

Posting pics will take time as I only have 2 options:
1) Pull out slides from early 1980's (cars look spectacular)
2) Wait until I can get to them through wife's junk (both are covered and protected in garage right now)

Probably since the 6 is a California car you all will think it is very good on the rust spots (though both cars have the typcial bad battery tray). But all the other spots I will need to get in an take photos (again when I can physically reach the cars).

I am just posting for suggestions and am in no rush. Of course buyers may have a whole different outlook. I remember what it was like when I had to have one...I took a drive around Lake Tahoe with my buddy in his silver 1970 914-6. All the way around the lake, then down into Nevada for a speed run. I remember hitting 122mph with the top off (back when Nevada was "Safe as Sane"), and as we made the u-turn to return to California that little voice inside me said "I am gonna buy one of these one day".
