While I realize that price increases for any sports car is seasonal, are we seeing a long awaited bump?

Looking at the recent selling prices of cars, it looks like the prices for nice solid cars are rising. Not only are the super nice, show quality cars gaining ground, the nice solid cars appear to be gaining ground as well. In addition, the number of solid cars available for sale seems to be unusually low lately.

Obviously, seasonal impact, early Porsche, and 914/6 prices are having an affect...I just wonder if 914 prices will hold or even gain ground?

I can appreciate both and I know that molested cars, /4s or /6s will never reach the collectibility or prices of a nice original. Since my car was so far gone when I got it, I never thought twice about modifying it. It will never be worth restoring the right way - would cost more than it's worth. I think cars like that are perfect candidates to let people's imaginations run wild. And even they will go up in price as interest increases (again, never like an original car will, but they benefit from guys like you who keep yours that way).

I just dig the fact that everyone is realizing what a great, albeit quirky car the 914 was/is. We should all be proud that people are getting interested in them. I just hope I can score a couple more before they get really expensive! But I should probably pay for the wedding first... and all the other important things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
