Sports Car Market, Current value guide Options

[orthobiz]

I did a search on the site, there was a thread in 2005 and 2009…

2005:
SCM article

2009:
SCM 2009

Anyway, no new article but a little booklet comes with my annual subscription and it lists 914 values. I think there's been a definite uptick in 914 values reflected in the market I see, not reflected in the little handbook SCM gives out.

I agree....looks like solid 914 2.0's with FI intact are selling very quickly. Not sure if they are seeing a big increase in price at this point; however, they are moving fast. If that continues, the prices will increase as demand exceeds supply.

I'll take a 914-8 For $175,000 Please! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

or a 916 for $125,00 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Nada's site lists a 72 1.7 at, coincidentally, 9k low value to 14K high value.

The ultra-rare 72 2 liter they list at 16K low to 26K high. -A 73 2.0 is the same (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I remember a few years ago they had 914's listed about the same as vw buses (the 914 they used to list for more, not the bus less). At one point they had it up to 30K for the 72 914 high value. Obviously they are overlooking some things with these price estimates. My 72 bus, they say is worth almost twice what my 914 is and it's just a kombi.

- the same exact part on each of them though, price is the other way around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hagerty showed a down tick in the 914 market for the December quarter.

Here is the 1970 914/6 chart:




Here is the 1974 914 2.0 chart:



Interesting though that if the 914 is being pull up by the 911 market then why did the trend change this quarter?

Here is a chart for a 1970 911T :





I agree with TC....I'll take one of the two 914-8's for $175k. What is the value alone for a 8 cylinder Porsche engine?

If the 914 is riding the wake of the 911, it's not paddling hard enough.

Here is the Hagerty value guide for the '73 911S. $100,000 gain over the past 16 months ...

[billh1963]

I have from a couple of people that the selling prices of early 911's has somewhat softened... They are not sure if it's seasonal.

That is NOT true for the S model

That's a graph ready for a correction..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

looks like the housing market in 2007

I think the values are reflective of the buyer's demographics. The folks that lusted after the muscle cars of the 60s, or the early 911s, are now of the age that they want that car they couldn't afford back in the day. Hence, the prices go up till that group ages enough so they are no longer the main demographic, then something else sees the uptick in prices.

Since the 911S was the top of the line and was rarer than the other models, it went up the most. Anyone that actually has driven an S in town will tell you that an E is a better driver here in the USA. The S was an autobahn star.

Then again, I could be wrong?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Hmmm ... maybe it's time to sell my two SWB 911s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My 69S was an Incredible car, I can't imagine an E being better. But then again I drove it like it was meant to be driven. I had it up to 165mph & it had a lot left, but the door frames started flapping. That car destroyed anything on the road once I got out of 1st gear

I owned a 73 911S. the E was faster to 60, the S to 100. it came on its cam at 4000 rpm and pushed you back in the seat. the 2.4 MFI sounded great. should have never sold it.
