A little concerned about recent issue of Pano & the early cars for sale!
Most recent issue had 3-4 356's & no 912's! 914s were sparse too & most were DE or track cars. What's the thought? Are we becoming dinos too, just like the 356/912 people? Or, do we just not go to PCA these days? Like to hear your commennts. Pat |

Well, My experience with PCA is that 914s are respected these days and no longer the red-haired step child they once were, BUT, we are becoming very rare. I find the PCA here in NJ loves the 914s as they embrace any of the older cars. 997s and GT3 are commonplace so any car with real character is a standout (in a postiive way).
At the DE at Watkins Glen this august, I saw the largest 914 numbers I had seen in years and that was 6 (with 2 being race prep cars). At the concours events, you are likely to see more 914s than 944s/968s and 928s combined sometimes, but the 356s are the dominant car in the pretty world. Whenever I take my 914 to a PCA event someone is always telling me to notify them first when I want to sell it. Dino, maybe, but we have some cred, finally. (sure beats my high school teacher asking if it was a fiat...) |
