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?

You dont modify a car for resale.

You modify a car to make it a reflection of your person; to get out of it what you want; or out of necessity.

This is probably more of a question of "Restore or Modify". They both take about the same amount of cost and time, while one takes patience and research, the other takes craftsmanship and creativity. One gives you a certain kind of reward for the accomplishment while the other a totally different yet the same kind of reward.


Its more in the personality differences than anything I find in the owners.
