I have a track on a clean 912E. I know these cars are bastards, but what is the market and current opinion on worth and collectibility?

Thanks…!

I have had a couple, brother in law now has one and sold the other. For 'normal' life driving they are my favorite combination, handling,brakes, style, mpg, and...a back seat. The wife and dog and a $200 costco run all fit; something most sport types won't. Collectable yes as all the air powered Pcars but I think you buy it to drive not appreciate like a '78-'98 911. Still see a couple of sales in the teens each year.
For me the fun is a bit of wrench time but believe the pure driver would have Rabys FI system and be able to give the keys to grandma and trouble free.
The only part that is rare is the trans with vw shaft and a R&P one yr only that gets the T4 to work.
Insurance is nice as you get to see your agent jerk at the word Porsche and then calm as you point out the 80 hp 4 banger for the '76.
This 914world group of T4 motor drivers is making my first engine rebuild a pleasure.
The only other odd part is no right side mirror, but there is after mkt co that makes a nice chrome match if you want orig appearance
