I have no doubts. I believe it.

It's going to be tough later on....I was planning on having this car for a LONG time.

I have been thinking that for the past couple of years now. I recently picked up a "Parts" car 914, with rust. One could restore it, but there are still too many other better cars out there to start with. As we were towing this one home, I was telling myself that 10 years from now, I bet even the one I am towing would be sought after.

The number of 914's continues to dwindle, making them slowly worth more.

yep, about the only 2 things to lower the price of a 914 from now on is more rust and single carb on a /4 motor

Yep, and everybody run out there and buy one of the NOS MPS's at $1600 which in 10 years will be cheap!

Jim is a highpowered financial advisor guy at the Fortune 50 level as a "day job".
he's a regular on the 356 list and has at least one Porsche book out, and another on early 900's in work. i think he has a 914 now too.

nice guy. while ago he found some ex-dealer owner's manuals and offered them to the list basically for the cost of mailing. got a -perfect- and complete manual for my '71E still in the original vinyl envelope.

All the ingredients are there. With four wheel disc brakes, 5 speed, transmission, mid mounted engine and some even came with a 6 cylinder 911 engine, it was bound to happen. Oh, and they are a blast to drive!

your magazine, your 356, or your 914?

whichever, lots of other people did too - which tends to keep the survivors around longer - and more valuable :-)

Guess that would make the 911 the next 550 spyder?
