Didn't want to Hijack bbrocks thread on how certain mods may affect resale value, but it really got me thinking about future values on these cars and where the market may be heading.
http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=314860 I love that everyone has a different vision for their car and can go their own way. Some members such as Arne & myself are currently working on driver restos and others such as Larmo among others are deep into some serious 6 builds. After having been to about a 1/2 dozen events, there is definitely serious interest in the 914 and this will bring prices up for good clean original cars. Not sure when or to what degree, but I have spoken with several PCar Collectors, expressing interest in "seriously getting one, but they're hard to find" Good clean cars and NOS parts will become scarce and drive prices up. What are your thoughts on values possibly starting to trend similar to the beginning of the run up on 356s and 911s? I would also like to hear about how many of you have Concours quality 914s as I have not heard much about those cars in the forums. |

I don't see the 914's ever approaching the 911 or 356 territory. A real nice original 914-6 is starting to get semi-serious money thrown at it, but that has tapered off from what I see. The best bet in Porsche world will always be a nice original, numbers matching car. History has shown that over and over. The hot rods and conversions are fun cars when built correctly but will never ace an original car. The 914 four cylinder cars are starting to come into their own at last, helped along by the stratospheric prices of the fore mentioned cars and the fact that the new cars are so stupidly complex the owners can only play with them to a small degree by themselves and the costs are high.
