1973 914 2.0L Valuation
I am selling my father’s 1973 914 2.0L. I am looking for a range of valuations understanding it is difficult to estimate without a thorough inspection. I will list vehicle details and then some pros and cons. This is a tough crowd but I am open to opinions.
General Details: -Car was originally Delphi Green Metallic (verified via L 99A paint code and some areas of the car exposing original paint), now painted red (perhaps guards red?). -Black Interior -Unknown mileage -Weber carburetors (original fuel injection system is gone) -F/R factory sway bars -Aftermarket Dino steering wheel -Aftermarket stereo -Aftermarket front rubber lip -Aftermarket driver side rear view mirror -Aftermarket rocker panel covers -Aftermarket exhaust (monza?) -Aftermarket rear spoiler -All chrome was painted black (can be stripped) -150mph speedo Pros: -Originally Delphi green metallic -No rust in h&!! hole (believe this was repaired years ago but would need to review records) -Believed to be original floor pans (did not note any rust after a cursory look) -Rockers appear solid (did not note any rust after a cursory look) -Rear trunk appears flawless -Seats are being recovered to factory spec Cons: -Car has sat for at least 4 years (was running well when parked) -Evidence of mice but believe they have been eradicated (needs a good cleaning to eliminate remnants) -Some rust behind headlights -No COA to verify #s matching, but am not aware of any swaps -Some rust in the passenger door seams -Surface rust on battery tray (no holes or bubbles) I am looking for a range of valuations for the car as is. I believe this car will start and run with the proper steps taken to fire it up after sitting 4+ years. In fact I may get the car running as it will probably make a difference in sale. The car comes with lots of spares (top, interior bits, trim, etc...). Thank you in advance. Photos are unedited cell phone pics... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I'd say $5-7k, possibly.
The color code doesn't really mean much unless you're going for a ground up restoration, and if thats the case, then all the aftermarket stuff is a real con since it will all have to be replaced. Factor in that plus the costs of restoration and I'd say you're looking at $5-7k if you can get it running and someone wants it in it's current state. 914's are increasing in value but no one is going to spend $5k on a car, dump $15k+ into a restoration to have a car worth $15-20k after the fact
