A lot of information lately about the new appreciation for the 914. I am so very happy about it because I dearly love these cars. In this area a lot of people know this and call me regularly about parts cars. Here in the South there is a lot of rusty 914, a lot are very restorable. So, what I'm saying, there is a lot of used parts. What is the future for these parts, with shipping being expensive, hackers, and the abundance of parts, are they worth buying up for future resale? I came from the 356 area and those parts are like gold
. because they made few cars. It just hard to walk away from Porsche parts, trying to get a handle on investing in the future of our hobby. Going to look at four cars tomorrow for probably under $2000. Let me know what you think, I probably to old to be contemplating this... |

There is the myth: 914's are rare so parts are valuable. IMO 914's aren't rare, There are still lots of them around. NICE 914's are whats rare.. |

I can find project and parts 914's, but much harder to find a 914 that really doesn't need anything. |
