Whats worth what?
We all are seeing that the 914 model as a whole is appreciating right now along with all of the early air cooled Porsche models.
The interest from buyers paying premium money for 914-4s is still in the '73/74 2.0L cars, with the exception of something extremely rare. A car with extremely low miles (sub 10K), special history tied to Porsche or ownership with provenance, may be the exception.
The '70/'71 cars and '75/'76 cars will lag in value always and even super nice original cars from those groups will suffer in value as compared to the '73/'74 cars.
There were so many 914s built and sold here in the US I'm not sure they ever will be appreciated like the 356s or 911s from the same period area. From an investment/commodity POV today, I can't see spending more than $15 for any 914-4 outside the '73/'74 2.0L group.
I agree with Karl on the 914-6 and as a big advocate of 914-6 conversions, I personally think a well done conversion produces the best driving experience value for the dollars invested. They may never return their value in resale but they sure are exceptional performance experiences and wonderful cars to own and drive.
