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. |

I have always been in the "do whatever you want" category for stock vs modified. As a former AX chair / instructor, I always thought I'd need a modified car to make me happy.
Now that's changing. I have a flared 2.4 (3.0?) /6 and its a beauty. I look at Dad's car and remember it for what it was. Stock. Add to the fact that all I really want to do is drive it around town, I've decided to take it back to stock at some point in the future. Here's what I'll do: + Replace tires with SR 165s + Find real NOS wheel caps + Replace Tarrett sway bar with stock sway bar + Replace Eibach springs and Bilsteins with stock springs and rebuilt Boges. + Replace LSD transmission with rebuilt stock transmission. + Rebuild the original number's matching case with a 1971cc (vs 2056) and sell the 3K mi 2056 in it now. Non-Stock items: + Roller bearings stay + Chrome bumpers stay + No tits + SSIs + The front sway bar was not a part of my car's build (partial appearance package), but a stock bar is going in. + Rear Hood Shocks - this will piss some people off, but I like this mod and its not worth reversing unless i decide to reshoot the car. Call me crazy, but after years of wanting more out of the 914 than it was created with, I'm now wanting less, and wanting what it was created like. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
