For the past 2 years I would check out evilbay, 914 forums, etc.. for cars for sale. In the last week or so they have been dwindling.
Yesterday I check out ebay and there are 3 914s and the FS forums are mainly WTB threads. So, where did all the cars go? Makes me glad I found the one I did! |

QUOTE(356 @ Feb 22 2008, 07:41 PM)  914, the new 356..... The Z man is right. By 2015 or sooner a nice original 914-6 will sell for $100K plus. The 4 cylinder cars will climb to where the six and at least the conversion cars are selling... We are consuming parts at a fantastic rate off of marginal cars that are being scrapped. |

I *think* there is a bit of sarcasm in there but your comment has got me thinking. Ive been into aircooled vws for about 18 years. I witnessed the huge increase in demand of splitwindow bugs... and therefore a HUGE jump in market value. I fully restored a split in 1996 and and sold it for 8000 which was "up there" for the time. This past summer, I sold my unrestored (but rustfree) 51 split window ragtop for the price of a restored original /6. so in about 10 years they went from just a "cool-old-vw" to a must-have collector car. don't even get me started on the early vw busses (yikes!) I personally think the time of year is to blame for the OPs original comments on dried-up market... but can't help think there may also be other forces at work here.
