Potentially...a lot! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It all comes down to condition and documentation.

Start a new thread and Post up some pics and more details. You’ll get good feedback

Our cars are worth so much more when you have documents on it. Be sure to start a build thread so people can see just what was done to get it back on the road.

In the old days photos and recites where the standard. Today it is a blog. Someone want to know that there were no funny repairs done to your car. As the guys say bondo can be made to look straight to the average person.

When I bought my latest car a 86.5 928, it had records all the way back to owner number 1 and owner 2 and 3 kept right up with it. Iris Blue over blue leather with a real 44,000 miles on it.

In the further people will want the best car with the best story. Never forget that a lot of 914s where built

Agreed - I have a LOT of info on my 74 due to a previous owner that documented many things here. It was definitely a factor in my purchase.

Amazing car. I'd like to hear more about the back story. Subject says it was "saved." Hard to imagine a car in this kind of condition was in danger of being lost or ruined. What's the scoop?

The uncle died and left it to his nephew, who put it in his garage and let it languish. We all know what happens to a car when it sits. Now needs everything, fuel system, braking system tires servicing lubrication paint reconditioning interior cleaning etc. However we have started on it now and will once again get it driving and bring it back to its original preserved state, we also need to address some jack post rust (minor) due to CRAP packing under the rocker and humidity getting to it (another reason to ALWAYS store in a dehumidified garage! We will do some very very careful precise work on this car our goal being to preserve as much of the originality as possible. The nephew has a complete service history, dated on the car . Sitting since 1985
