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, until those rear tits save you from backing in to something hard and immovable, then you will wish you had them. Had the '73 HAD the rear tits and were removed for 1974, everyone would be saying here that it was part of the cheapening down of the '74 model year. I am glad to be a '74 owner, as it rarer than the '73 and somewhat of a one-off model year. Go 1974!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I love my '73, but I guess you could call me a tit man because I like them. I may be WAY out on my own here, but I don't understand the aversion to the late BUBs either. As I recall, more than one car writer commended Porsche for managing to improve the appearance of the 914 while meeting the new crash standards. I'm not sure I'd go as far as "improve," but I don't mind the look of he late bumpers and wouldn't think about back dating if I had one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

I really like the front bumper guards, they make the front end look longer and of course protect that valuable front chrome bumper somewhat. Cannot say that I like the rear ones, but you know me, if it came with the car, we leave it that way (I bet I have over 150 sets of new bumper guards here!!!!!!)
