This should be interesting to follow early next month at the Gooding & Company auction at Amelia Island......'74 Porsche 914 2.0L with only 5,000 miles. It was part of the Brumos Collection since 2003. The estimated auction price is between $60 - $80K....without reserve. This might set a new mark for 914/4's.

While it will be interesting to see what happens with this one, what it sells for, & where it goes to next ....
It's sad to see the Brumos Collection being sold off, & this sort of museum quality 914 disappear from the public eye as a known unmolested example that some CW Teener in 10-20+ years could've looked at for their restoration to original specs. .... i.e.: perhaps some of our kids or grandkids lose the example, if they still have our cars in hand. While it doesn't seem like a big deal, I saw the glee of my wife when she saw a humble & similarly pristine & low mile `73 Honda Civic CVCC on display in the Museum of Transportation in Washington DC, just like her own little first car that she bought with her money (aside from her ex-spouse & parents' cars before that). She still brags about "her little car" in the museum to family & friends. So this will be one less "glee maker" if it goes to private hands in this sale, which is sad for every kid or grown-up who could point to it in the Brumos Collection & say my ____ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) ____ used to have one of those & used to show it off at car shows where it won (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) &/or loved to scream around the twisties in it! Just some food for thought! JMHO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
