Me too. I can't seem to find my checkbook though. Oh well.
8 Speedster collection for sale (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Snip from the blog I found it on: QUOTE This is an interesting concept…bundling the most important examples of a particular early model and selling them as a group for more then they would be worth individually. I agree. $8.5M seems kinda steep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) but who knows what Jerry Seinfeld thinks? Happy Saturday. I'm reinstalling my fuel tank today....

John Paterek sold his America for 1 million.
Therefore the group is not worth what they're asking. But it does make interesting reading. Paul |

OK then, this thread therefore begs the question,
Does anyone, besides George at A/A, have a complete set of 914/4s and 914/6s and all their varients? That would be something to see in person or in print; /4 and /6, 1.7,1.8,2.0, app. group, 1970-1976. Probably a good pic of a collection like that would make a good poster, sort of like what George did years ago with a poster of his "rare" 914s. Paul |

Hey it's worth it if someone will pay it...so I guess we'll see. I do think that there's added value in the legwork of collecting and documenting the collection... |

I did some engine work on a '59 Carrera GT lightweight that raced Lemans in 1960- it sold for 416K in 2003 after a 235K restoration that took 12 years.

Great cars.
Crappy website. Looks like it came from 1996. |
