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.

Not that it much matters but, a '74 2.0L that came from the factory fully optioned is a rare animal....appearance package, chrome bumpers, alloy wheels, tinted glass, sway bars, etc. Most clients ordering a '74 2.0L typically didn't check off all the options boxes when placing the order because of the costs. A '73 2.0L pretty much came standard with most of these items.

A '73 2.0L pretty much came standard with most of these items. Yes Jeff, And that's why the 73's tend to be preferred buy buyers, because most all made from Aug. 72 to about March 73 were with the App. & Perf. Groups of options included for the $5299 list price (later as high as $7299+/- by June/July 73), & marketed here by P+A/VoA as the "914S". Maybe eventually the decontented 73 "Sport" & fully optioned 74 2Ls may overtake the 73 "914S" values as less common, which will be interesting to see how the "collectors" view the various 914s as time goes on. I think that for the normal folks looking for a nice 914 /4to drive &/or show, it helps to look for the 73-74 GA 2.0s for the better performance, & the 73's for getting more of the options on them (if they weren't removed by POs), just for better usability. But I don't mean that to detract from any 914 which suits someone's personal taste, whether 4 or 6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0 GA or GC, -6, Porsche-6 & Subie & V8 & other conversions, resto-mods, etc. - it's gotta fit the owner's preferences.
