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.

One big advantage with '73 over '74 is no rear bumper tits. When I had my '73 front bumper rechromed I removed the front tits and had them fill the holes. Yeah, it's not "original" but with all the other stuff I did a PCA concours judge would probably have a stroke... even though he'd have trouble finding any dirt!

Yeah, it's not "original" but with all the other stuff I did a PCA concours judge would probably have a stroke... even though he'd have trouble finding any dirt! Actually we do not judge originality at all anymore in the PCA Regions/Zones Concourse, & it only sometimes matters at national Parade Concours IF you're up against a more original example, but otherwise equal - then you may lose out. Now it's just a cleaning & detailing contest at the PCA Concours, but the judges do go into every nook & cranny that they can reach. PCA Zone 8's Concours section has some excellent documents to read up on what to do & what to expect - heck, even the judge's school PowerPoint! So bottom line - don't be afraid to bring your super clean 914 out to any of the PCA Concours. I don't know about the Iowa shows, but you also list Scottsdale AZ, & that's part of our Zone 8 - & the PHX area Concours will be on Nov 3, & Tuscon will be May 5 Cinqo de Mayo. So do the Teeners proud! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) PS - Your OO `71 can also compete in Unrestored, if it's at least 75% or more original paint & interior - not counting things like optional shift knobs, etc. Very little good competition for original 914s even here in Zone 8 (SoCal, Central CA up to Kern & San Luis counties, So. NV, & all of AZ - the supposedly "dry" states. So you could even win Zone 8 honors if you made enough of the shows - & you can legally trailer to any out of state Concours - which is NV & all CA shows.
