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.

Best of luck in finding such a new owner for your 914's. They're uncommon little cars and they should be in the hands of people who appreciate them for what they are.

funny you mention that...a few years ago when I think it was Chris Campbell was selling his beatiful Ravenna Green 2.0 914, it sounded like he would only sell to the "right" person, didn't matter than you had the money to purchase the car, you also had to have the right attitude and be "worthy" of owning it....I'm sure I was on the "do not sell to" list (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
