If I am looking to add another 4 cylinder 914 to my garage, some of the best examples do not have numbers matching engines. At some point the PO of these cars has wanted more power and upgraded to a more advanced engine.
My question is what happens to the price when the engine number is not original to the car? Is there a rule of thumb? (I know it's market driven and anyone can offer any crazy amounts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) for a car they just have to have) I'm just looking for the norm if there is one. Is it something like current market value less 25% for non originality factors? Any thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

As the value of 914s go up in general, it is likely that originality will become more and more important. Ultimately, it should be the 100% original cars that have the highest values. But, this will apply primarily to cars that are pristine. Having said all that, to date, engine upgrades (to larger engines) seem to have increased the value of the car. 2.0L engines have been sought after for some time, and are a good selling point.
