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?

The rarity number is only for the 2.0. They only made 32K of those v. 65K 1.7s. This matches the rarity number for the 912, which they also made 32K of (not counting the 912E), so the scale makes sense.

Rarity almost never correlates to value. There were only 2200 912Es ever made, but look at its score on the value scale. Alfa Romeo only imported 2000 Alfettas into this country, yet they're $500 throwaway cars today. My FIAT coupe is far more rare than the 914, but isn't worth anything like as much in equal condition. Really nice early Mustangs sell for quite a bit more than a 914, yet they produced them in much larger numbers.
