There is a 73' 2.0 at a dealer not too far from my place. They have had it for 2 years now. Started life as a brown/brown car, like poop brown. Only has 60K miles no it. Believable too. I drove it once when it was still brown about a year ago. They wouldn't take $4500 for it.
Checked on it this weekend. Black now (didn't paint trunks), paint is bubbling, 914 won't start, 2" of water in back trunk. Car still thankfully has NO rust,,,, yet. I offered knowing the car runs and drives great, but the black paint has de-valued it. They would go below $4k. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) As I was walking away, I said "This was a nice car last year." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) Yeah, they are getting harder to find. Guy has a yellow one sitting at his house, moss growing on it. He won't sell it.

Thats funny, they will wind up keeping it till it rusts away to nothing. The guy with the moss growing, will wind up parting it out about 10 years from now and make a killing. At least that is what he thinks anyway. He could be right. Its just a waste to see them sit there and rot.

This proccess will still take years to see the 914's peak in value. As thier numbers continue to dwindle, the prices will go up. A decent solid 914 or six will run more now than it did new. So I am not sure I would really call it a comeback, more as a place being settled into the collector car market. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) 914's are self destructive cars. That is what is helping the market for increased values. |

Funny thing is on the brown/black 914, I have come in with cash 3 times over the 2 years they have had it. When it was still brown I had $4500 in hand, they laughed at me. I think they wanted like $7999 for it? Now, I laughed when the guy said they would take $4000 for it. No way. The thing the car had going for it was it's extreme original condition. Brown/brown, 60k Miles or so, clean shiny factory paint everywhere. Now there is black bubbling paint all over it and overspray everywhere. Plus it won't start. The sales guy couldn't get the door to unlock and started leaning on the key. I actually pushed his hand away (forcefully) and said in a pissed off voice "Christ, why don't you just use a crow-bar?" as I unlocked the door. Dumb-ass. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I would love to save this 914 as I know it will die if it sits there another couple of years.

If you have their email, post images of it and let us club members bash the crap outta it. We'll inform them of what they have done to a "restorable classic" that now makes it a "junk yard special"" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Just ranting here, but I started out looking for something fun, a Sunday driver, my wife won't let me get a Ducati, etc. Looked at Chaterhams, Becks, Cobra replicas, and ended up with the teener. Roll up windows, steel doors, cheap, unique and fun. My cars won't rust out any more than my tools or golf clubs will. I keep them in the garage and care for them. When they get wet, I get out the hair dryer and the WD40 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Guess I'm sitting on a couple of gold mines. Now I just need a good six and a place to keep it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Scott, I have a call into this guy and may ask you to do a ppi. bodywork and interior are suspect, but all the right parts to go with my 2.7 Then you can have another car there and we can get them all ready for WCC 2040 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) 6 conversion Attached image(s)

nope....look at infation over the 30 years. What cost $2000 in 1974 would cost $7914.61 in 2003. Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2003 and 1974, they would cost you $2000 and $505.39 respectively http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi well i dont remember what the 914 cost back then? I remember somewhere around 4K, so just go to the site and adjust that for 4K. People make alot more money now than they did..... |

Very perceptive. Hope you're a business major. As a rule, classic cars are lousy investments, but if bought right will at least increase in value along with inflation. And a bit more fun than a Mutual Fund (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
