I know that in the 911 community, grey market cars generally have less value than US spec autos. I don't see them too often in the 914 community, but i was looking over a nice black 914 from socal on OC craigslist, but it appears to be a grey market car. Does that make it less valuable?

sorry if posting in the wrong spot, but i thought those who are looking to buy/sell would have the best insights...

Can you imagine a sporto 914/4? Only reason I took note of it was because I was driving a sporto 911E at the time.

No, I can't. I was not aware of any Sporto fours (except for possibly a prototype running around Germany in the late 60s). I was under the impression that all of the Sportos (25 of them, plus one prototype!) were Sixes.
