Does anyone know the results of the Monterey auctions?i know a 914 1.8 went for big money, but I think a 914-6 was also being auctioned that weekend. Actually would like to see all the Porsche results.

^ Yes.
A few things, as I've been trying to wrap my head around this result: 1) You might spend $100k on a $5k 914 trying to get it to the level of the 1.8 that sold for $93k, and you still won't get there because it won't be...an original, low-mileage car. 2) The auction world is its own kettle of fish. There's the value of the car. And then there's the mood of the room and whether or not it has the right buyers in it. Translation: The results are interesting, but hardly as indicative as some want us to believe they are. 3) As one friend noted, sure, this 914 1.8 price is crazy in light of a lot of other cars you can buy for similar money, but maybe it's not so crazy in light of what people pay for something else they are nostalgic about: vintage VW buses. And a 914—even a 1.8—is surely a better drive. |
