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?

Thanks for the feedback Paul. I tried to allocate the 10 total points in a way that reflected the importance of each component to the value of the whole car. Certainly the drivetrain and chassis/body are the most important. I could modify the values to be 2.5 points for each instead of 2 and 3, making them equal how does that sound? Any part of the 914 can be restored back to perfect condition, its all replaceable, and every part is subject to wear and abuse of one kind or another. But a 914 is only original once, to quote the Cap'n.
I think most driveable 914s will fall into the 50-75 point rating, if assessments are rational. I also thought it was appropriate to recognize high quality original cars over their better than perfect restorations, hence the extra 10 points for originality. This quality evaluation system is only one factor of a good assessment. Other things that should be considered are modifications (variable value dependent on buyer), buyer location/shipping costs and simple personal choice. Some people just like X color car or model year and will pay more for that color or year, just like they will pay more if there are no good cars in their area. Is this a useful tool to anyone? |
