What am I missing? It seems not even a year or two ago, these cars and there parts were very reasonably priced. Now, it looks as though they are going for double. Any particular reason?

914 prices are rising, but only for cars that are NOT rusty. I am seeing nothing but hulks around SoCal. 3 in the last 2 weeks. Just crappy cars.

Most for sale to me have very serious problems.

That is the one car issue that most know nothing about, and it is getting more expensive to fix each year.

A car in CA with rust for 5K will cost another 5K to fix and paint even modestly. That makes a minimum investment $10K. Not counting mechanical, electrical and glazing.

I have wondered out loud in the past year here how many remaining 914's there are in the world, and how many truly do not have rust issues.

Apparently, not many at all. And only a few have paint that I would write home about.
