Interesting article.
https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/bu...be-collectible/ Never thought I'd see a 914 worth more than a 911....but that day has come. Although initially I didn't buy my teener for appreciation value. |

Good article but I think the author's compliments were left handed at best. He just could not bring himself to lay any praise on the 914 other than its rising value. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(76-914 @ Nov 5 2018, 12:24 PM)  Good article but I think the author's compliments were left handed at best. He just could not bring himself to lay any praise on the 914 other than its rising value. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I couldn't comment on this, my brain does this thing to save time where I stop reading as soon as I encounter blatant stupidity. I didn't make it past "Vanagon-engined misery-mobile" Last I checked my math the 914 predated the Vangon by 10 years, and the majority of Vanagons were water cooled. Why is the internet filled with so much stupid? |
