Weekly e-mail from Sports Car Market (SCM). Really a great magazine and spam e-mail.

Anyway the 914 was a featured article. Here's the meat of it if you don't want to read the whole thing:

"From a collectibility standpoint, the 914 finally seems to be having its day. The “it’s not a real Porsche” snobbery appears to have faded and people are recognizing the cars as inexpensive and hip proto-Boxsters. Nice 2-liter, appearance-group cars can exceed $10,000. Cars you’d want to own start at around $6,000. SCM’s resident Porsche guru Jim Schrager has remarked that the 914 market reminds him of the 356 market 25–30 years ago. If that’s the case, then now is surely the time to buy the best no-rust, 2-liter you can find in great colors. Might I suggest Tangerine and tan?"
