CNN Money has a list of cars "you won't believe are collectible"... including, of course, our beloved.

Value today: $35,000
Price when new: $6,000
Once viewed with disdain as a cheap Volkswagen dressed up in a very un-Porsche-like Porsche body, the 914 has gone on to earn a certain respect in its own right, especially 6-cylinder powered versions. It's now seen as a predecessor to today's Porsche Boxster and its odd flat-backed roof-line seems kind of funky.


The writeup would be pretty accurate if it were just about /6's.

But the photo... who else notices the oddity?
