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. |

Here's a 75 1.8 with 3K miles at Russo & Steele Auction in Monterey to watch for some price envelope punching, with an estimate at $50-60K! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Agree with the comment that the removed A/C will pull it down. Also, while some may not, I'm dinging it for the fact that it is a '76. But I sure hope I'm low. |

I've mentioned in a previous thread that I've seen this car in person, went for a drive in it, and was offered first crack at purchasing it (which I declined). As you might imagine for a 3200 mile car, it was tight as a drum and I've never been in a 914 that rode as well as this one. The one downside was that it was dog slow and the engine didn't run nearly as smoothly as my own '73. Regarding the removal of the A/C, the owner told me he had Yeaman Auto Body do the job, so no worries about the quality of the repair work. As for signs of wear, there really isn't any, other than the carpet oddly pulling away from the gear shift lever. I've talked to others about the car and virtually all have said they question the car's authenticity. All I can say is that it is easily the cleanest 4 cylinder 914 I've ever seen. |
