I, for one, have chosen to "break the mold"! These cars that we love are going up in value. There are many indications that our cars are increasing in value, yet the owners and enthusiasts here on this board and others refuse to accept this FACT. Excellence magazine has valued our cars %10-15 higher than last year. Despite this, we are consistantly asking lower than we should. This makes no sense. I see $3500 for a 74' California 2.0l all original. Insanity, sheer insanity!

In Excellence "low" used to be called "poor". They also used to state what each condition rating meant. It's too bad they don't use the standard 5 or 6 point scale that the rest of the car world uses.

http://www.1motormart.com/condnos.htm

My take on 2L 914s:

1) $12,000-15,000
2) $9,000 - 12,000
3) $4,000 - $9,000
4) $2,500 - $4,000
5) $1,500 - $2,500
6) $300 - $1,500

The biggest problem with this scale is that it's geared towards concours cars. A #3 condition ends up with a huge range because of a vaste variation in price of a nice driver condition car.

Anyway, what's the point of inflating values? To make your readers feel good about their purchase?
