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. |

In the future, with the advent of self driving cars, our cars ( or anything fun) will be legislated out of legal use. I doubt if many 914s will even be on the road.
The good ones will be in museums and most of the leftovers will be crushed to make renewable housing for homeless people. |

The good ones will be in museums and most will be crushed to make renewable housing for homeless people. At least this put into perspective my theory That you should drive it like you stole it and not give a fucc about How long its gonna be till you get your value or money out of it Just remember chaps No matter what the cars worth You cannot buy the memories , and a 914 seems to always Give me more fun and at the same time almost race car Like perfomance. Its like putting a price on my old jim rice baseball glove Cant do it I have a stock 1.7 73 , with a big for motor But the second you start thinking something is worth more then You paid for or are " in the car for " You better think twice , unless its a tucker or something |
