I think anyone who can afford $93K for a "mint in box" 914 can easily afford to have a second one to take out and play with. I'm glad that out of the 113K or so 914s made, that there are a handful of museum time capsules surviving. The only part that bothers me is that this is another outlier data point that pulls the resale average up and will work its way into valuations in the buyers guides.

Of course the Insurance industry will be all over this. Any reason to crank up rates...

Good point! And a pretty big conflict of interest in Hagerty valuation guides.
