No argument on the /6 pricing, they will always be in the highest demand and price category of 914s.
The 914 LE's have a unique set of characteristics that people either value or not, their rarity is only one factor. They are more than just paint and stripes. The COA lists the special factory equipment and their Can Am heritage. No other 914 has those features. They also were built fully loaded with sway bars, foglamps, the center gauge console, Mahle alloys, a special paint scheme, specially-designed side stripes and front spoiler, and other items that were extra cost on standard 914s for 1974, but included on the 914LE. Big deal? These may mean more to some than others, does not mean one 914 is better than the other, just different. 914 LEs are not likely to command 914/6 prices ever, but the best examples are appreciating like all 914s, neglected examples are rotting away. Realistically they are valued identical to a comparable condition and equipped standard 1974 914 2.0L, plus a small value for the intrigue factor. The values of all 914s are based on their condition and that is fairly homogenous across 914 models regardless of model year or engine size. I have seen 914LE's sell for $500 to $25K, just like standard 914/4s. A pristine original 74 2.0L recently sold for over $40K. Its all based on condition. Beyond that, its just buyer preference, no worries either way. |
