So it's 5x the cost of an excellent 914/6. Not unreasonable.
The bumblebee at ebay is currently north of 8K. If we say 10K for it, we have10x a bumblebee. How many of us, if we have a car more than a few years, stop counting the "reno" cost? How many threads have you seen here or elsewhere of 50K dumped into a 914 of some description? Double that, and you have the rarest car Porsche built. The problem is the pony cost -- you have to come up with 100K, plus shipping/etc just to get it home (where ever home is). And you need the 100K (+) all at one time. btw, I'm delighted to see the pics, and I thank the good Dr for posting them here. For price comparison, I think I heard the yellow one in the bay area was unsold at 100K. (I can't find the exact reference -- it was attached to Wayne's visit/class w/BA-Woods engine class) [someone may have pointed this out, but due to the crappy US economy, most luxo items are either unsold, or price-adjusted. if you are in the hunt, it's a buyers market in some fields -- not just cars!] Anyway, why babble -- if you're in the mood for picking up collectible 914's, you can go after the 916's (price went up a long time ago -- there are 11 of them, bring 100K as a start), a GT or a 471, (price moving up while you read this -- it's north of 50K as Brad has pointed out) or maybe a bumblebee (ebay says north is the way to go 5-10K on condition) and so forth. There are even deals in "plain old 914/6 land". In each class, you will see price movement in the future (one way or t'other). So you get to place the bet as to which one moves up the most relative to it's purchase price. I'd love a shot at a 916/GT/whatever. Not quite today, but give me time.....
