914's as an investment, just a thought Options

[Howard]

I have been asked to write an article about car enthusiasts and would like to make the topic "914, Porsche's Ugly Duckling"

Have lots of stuff on the racing record. The car won everything in the under (and over) 2.0 GT class while the factory supported it, but want to spend more time on the 'fun factor' of the cars. Think about the lines of 'The last real Porsche'. After the 914, everything that came from them was heavier, more powerful, more expensive, and more gold chain than sports car.

Give me some ammo to use.
Edit: Here's something for you. Le Mans 1970. The 914 finished 6th and first in GT.
The cars that beat it were: 2 917's, 1 908, and 2 Ferrari 512's. If you could find any of these, they would be worth over $1,000,000 each and not be street legal. NARP my ass.

These cars are not investments of any kind. I didnt buy any of them with the intent of making any money at all. They are toys for me to play with, drive and enjoy. If I were to buy an investment car, it would have been the GTO in 1975 for $500 and kept it in a garage all this time. Or the 69 Camaro RS with the 327 and factory 4 speed I had in high school. Those still would not have made me any money in the long run as it takes money to keep them up to standard where someone else would want to buy it.

That is my opinion.
