So...are we starting to see the 914 prices rise?, Or is this another one of of those, "Not this sh!t, again" threads? Options

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 think the rise prices has several components

1) There are a limited number of 914s still alive.
2) Awareness of the cool factor of a vintage 914 at relatively low initial cost
3) People are jumping on the 914s left. supply vs. demand.
4) Improving economy.
5) General awareness of collectable value of old things. How many of us had GI Joes, electric race car sets, baseball cards, Lionel trains that were sold, given away, thrown away, or sold in a yard sale for $1? Folks nowadays understand that old stuff may equal big bucks. People would be reluctant to give away poor old Uncle Bob's little car for a song.
