Didn't want to Hijack bbrocks thread on how certain mods may affect resale value, but it really got me thinking about future values on these cars and where the market may be heading.
http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=314860 I love that everyone has a different vision for their car and can go their own way. Some members such as Arne & myself are currently working on driver restos and others such as Larmo among others are deep into some serious 6 builds. After having been to about a 1/2 dozen events, there is definitely serious interest in the 914 and this will bring prices up for good clean original cars. Not sure when or to what degree, but I have spoken with several PCar Collectors, expressing interest in "seriously getting one, but they're hard to find" Good clean cars and NOS parts will become scarce and drive prices up. What are your thoughts on values possibly starting to trend similar to the beginning of the run up on 356s and 911s? I would also like to hear about how many of you have Concours quality 914s as I have not heard much about those cars in the forums. |

Had my '71 since new and over the years have "improved" it with all OEM 6 suspension and brakes (won a door local PCA door prize in early 70's with 20% off parts so went wild) and converted to side shifter etc. Never going to sell so resale value doesn't matter to me.
My '73 is totally restored and also looks stock, though also has converted suspension and brakes to run Fuch's, etc. Not selling it either... Have two boys who inherited the car gene from their dad and grandfather (who drove a 914 and 944 when alive) , so the cars will go to good homes... |
