The Suby, V8, 6 conversions and other mods currently being done on the 914 are all interesting alternatives and additions to the stock make up/characteristics of the car. But coming from a dollars & cents, and return on investment angle wouldn't a nicely done stock 914 make the most sense? After looking and comparing the Sold "Stock" or mostly Stock restorations and the Sold mild to highly modified cars and the prices they are selling for, it just doesn't seem like all the additional $'s spent on modifying a car are worth it when it comes to resale end of things.

Is there something I am missing?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have never understood the concept of cars as investments, but that's me. To each their own, it's certainly not why I bought my 914 and spent tens of thousands having it restored (body and paint) then highly modified. For me it's all about the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
