If I buy the car I will make sure that all the work done will be up to par and I am sure I would be asking alot of questions on this site.  Andy can you edit my topic title to include "what is this car worth" or tell me how to do it?  Thanks!

I took care of it; I hope it's satisfactory.

Welcome to the club.

That particular 914/6 my well be worth $5k, but I agree with the others. That car will cost you a fortune to restore and a *lot* of time. More than likely you will never finish it. If you've owned a 914 before or have a 914 to drive while you work on a project of that magnitude, you might have the passion to finish that project. Otherwise, it's not the best way to start.

Ask me how I know...

Last time I was on Maui a few years ago I saw a 914 on the way back from Mt Haleakala, I've been told there are a few more on that island and at least one original /6 from a fellow P-car nut that use to live there.....

These are not hard cars to work on, but it can be expensive and time consuming (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Fact is, it may take the seller a while to unload that car in Hawaii.

You guys see the serial number on that car? 15

Mike - you recognized that it's a '71 car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

but it's funny that VIN and engine number are pretty close to the car that other Austrian guy looked for (this week)
they were 914 1 43 0041 and 6410014

The car is well worth $5000 (but that doesn't mean you couldn't offer $4000). Only you can decide if it is the right car for you. It is a solid beginning for a restoration. As with all 914's, rust is the issue.

Yes I did. Serial number 15 AND a 1971. I have to admit, I'd be more tempted myself if it didn't involve shipping from HI.

I bought a car from California (originaly Indiana) same rust and the floor was falling out
Didnt run when I got it ,but it did run pretty good, not safe to drive too much rust , but complete -6, I paid 3000.00 about 5 years ago.
I could not sell it in Seattle Times sell adds as a roller for 1500.00
Everyone said they could fix it untill they actually looked at it and then said it was too rusty.
