Can someone help shed light on the value of these cars and what (besides condition & rust) makes one more valuable than another?

The general "worth" heiracrchy:
1) 914-6 (only 3300 or so made)
2) '73-'74 914 2.0
After #2, it comes down to preference. I prefer the 1.7s over the 1.8s, ealrier over later, but a '76 2.0 is a pretty nice car (ok, I had one of those too).
1.7s were from '70-73.
1.8s were '74-75
Impact bumper cars ('75-76) are also hard.. although, here, a 2.0 trumps a 1.8
'76 can be an issue in cali, for instance, due to smogging concerns. They had the less liked large rubber bumpers and weigh about 200lbs more than an early car due to increased safety (bumpers, door beams) and sound deadening.
Nice condition 2.0s, (outside of cali, since they seem plentiful there) are $8-12K for the most part.
914-6s in good to excellent are $15-30K
Rust is the big killer (trunks, longitudinals, floor pans, suspension/jack points etc) since they were not built with any rustrpoofing/zinc coatings.
They are, compared to modern cars, slow and loud. The 2.0l only made 95hp to begin with and the emissions stradled cars (ie, a 75 1.8 made about 72hp)
