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.

Richard is your neighbor. He spoke to me about the cars before I moved south.

I would be interested in the 9146.

We have a young lady on the BBS who was hit in her 914 just a little over a year ago and the car was totalled. I have been trying to locate a decent 9146 project for her since then. She AutoX's another 4cyl 914 she bought not too long after the accident, but we have been looking for a street/project car for her. This one might fit the bill. Richard knows her well.
