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.

Chances are previous owners of this car had other fun cars to drive while this one sat idle not being abused.
Crazy price, however I don't think it makes my '73 914 or thousands of other 914s still out worth a penny more. Sure there will be some perfect examples that this sale might help with increased value, I just don't see it helping your average driver or beater 914 at all. |

Sure there will be some perfect examples that this sale might help with increased value, I just don't see it helping your average driver or beater 914 at all. This is one of the Brumos Porsche cars from their collection of greats. A special car from a special ownership history..... at a very special auction: Gooding at Amelia. As Keith Martin reported: "Special Event Pricing" That quote is not meant to disparage a thing about this great car. 5,000 mile documented history. A zero rust 914. A 2.0 litre car and in a wonderful color combination of Zambezi and black. Performance and Special Appearance Group. And the hammer fell at 85 plus commissions. A car this great going to a discerning owner is a Win-Win for all. Even for us owners of our "special to our eyes 914s". And Tom, you sort of left out the BEST of the BEST '74 cars..... those early built examples with the carryover from '73- silver bullet dials and chrome squirters on the hood like my serial # 0089 has. Built in August of '73. ( Also with console and gauges, center pad, FUCHS, rear window defroster elements, tinted glass, and an extra set of 5 steel mags, and an extra set of brand new, never mounted Campagnolo magnesium alloys. ) I was fortunate to find this totally rust free Montana originated car in '94 with low miles, and it remains low miles today. I wish the owner of the Zambezi car all the best in his new purchase and hope he frequents this forum and these pages often to keep us all apprised of his new love. |

The car sold for $85K plus the 10% premium.....$93.5K. Attached thumbnail(s) |
