I have been a hobbyist sports car collector for about the past 20 years since I bought my first '67 911 in 1984 and was wondering if any of the board members have done an assessment of the what the future holds for the 914? What, if any, has the historical (past 5 years) appreciation been - has it even kept up with inflation? At some point they have to begin increasing - don't they?

May I add...... I think a large part of the VALUE of these cars is based upon location. For instance... around here in St. Louis.... 914s are extremly rare. I sold my last teener SUPER quick (24 hours from the time it was listed), for $4900.
On Ebay, it probably would have sold for maybe $2500-$3000. Another issue.... I don't think eBay is an accurate representation of what the cars are worth. I think it's an accurate representation of what people are willing to "risk" on a car they've never seen... but thats it. I'm far from an economics major or anything..... or even a historian..... but there's a few things I've noticed. I used to rebuild/restore 2nd generation Trans Ams.... in fact, I've owned 6 of them. Since GM discontinued the Camaro and T/A... the prices have SKYROCKETED on the classics. The 914? Lets see..... it gets good gas mileage. With the gas prices what they are, I think thats becoming more important to classic car enthusiasts. It also looks cool..... in fact, it even has certain qualities that some of the new "roadsters" mimic. Not to mention the recent exposure to the Subaru crowd. Lastly... it's a Porsche. Just my thoughts..... but I'm betting in 5 or 6 years..... we're going to start seeing a HUGE increase in the interest of our sacred little cars. Just my thoughts... I could be wrong. |
