I would have guessed $50-60K, but the buyer wanted the car I guess. I wonder if he (or she) will reinstall the A/C? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Sometimes auctions will bring bargains for buyers and sometimes, as I think happened in this case, prices are driven up if someone with the money decides they really want the car.

Auction prices are driven by at least two people who want the car, in this case, two crazy people. Wow.

Rediculus. That's without buyer's premium, yes?

Porboy was the owner that removed the A/C. Here is another thread with more pictures of the car:

$85,000 is amazing ... double what I thought it could fetch.

Is that the highest price paid for a 4 cylinder 914?

So this car sold in 2013 for $42K. I found another auction result for it in Nov 2016 for $40,700. And now for $85K.

Amazing.

I could see this price if it was a more desirable year and didn't have the air conditioning issues. There must have been two swinging di*ks fighting it out trying to get it.

It's a neat car, just not my cup of tea.

I did. Air conditioning installed, and then removed. That means body panels cut and then repaired with new REPLACEMENT metal.

An overpriced car with replacement panels. Absurd.

Crazy things happen when people make decisions with their ego as opposed to their brain.

Excuse me sir I apologize if I offended you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I did not know that. Wow, I bet the buyer was unaware.

Irrational exuberance? Well sold? Or well bought? Only one thing is clear: This transaction made sense to at least two people in the moment.

We'll get a better measure of everything else in time. It will be interesting to see how other super low mile 914s do in the next 12-36 months—especially 1973-1974 2.0 cars—before saying this is a real benchmark. But...it sure seems to be something of a new high-water mark. I can't get my head around a 1975 1.8 for this kind of money, or any 914-4 for that matter. I love 914s, but that's GT4 money. 996 GT3 money. 987.2 Boxster Spyder money. Decent 911T money. Nice 912 money. Brand new and nicely equipped 718 money—or loaded Macan money. Used 997 or 991 money. For a 1975 914 1.8 you can't drive without killing the very thing that makes it worth what you paid—for a hot minute in 2017.

Okay, maybe one other thing is clear: A lot of people have very, very fond memories of their 914s or those of their friends/parents/coworkers/etc. Even so, I am still reeling at this price. We can be sure it will be in a lot of the auction reports. Will be curious to see what the usual auction pundits have to say about it.

Russo and Steele right next door to RM auctions just sold this /6 tonight for $105k. I think some watching were surprised because the 1999 F355 Ferrari before it was about $40k less.
