I don't think it's over priced. There aren't more than a handful of cars like this in the world.

A few things that affect the price of this 914 and any car purchased at auction.Commissions. Seller pays 8% of the sale price at No Reserve. He also can pay $400-1000 for an early lot number during the auction. Plus he has to pay transporting,detailing and lodging.

Buyer pays anywhere from 7% to 17% depending on how the car is purchased, in-person,phone,internet. Then there is regisration $200. The buyer has transporting of the vehicle to there garage, lodging and getting to the auction.

So to say that this 914 sold for $18,360. Look a little deeper.

Was the charcoal filter used on the '70? I don't have one.


Yes, I have one.

Well one positive thing I can say - it would make an excellent donor car for a Suby swap! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

My 70 has 18,000 miles on it ...... So the Odometer says. I reset it to 00000 when I bought it in Wa. state (it was broke).

Sweet car wish it were yellow. Questions about the plastic grill not on a 70 for sure. and yes they had a charcoal filter.

The car is not quite pristine. I saw vinyl peeling back on the dash. Also, we never got to see inside the engine compartment or pics of the longs. Heck, the battery could have been leaking for 35 years (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Eddy

I'd agree with 914-8, ANY car with 15,000 original miles in anything close to original / pristine condition is a bargain at $18,000!! I'd like to see somebody buy a low mileage, original CORVAIR for that money! Face it, at $18,000 that 914 is one of the cheapest collectible cars out there, period!

Also looks like a pretty good ding smack in the middle of the driver's door near the top. Still, a very nice original car.

How much of a bargain this car is really depends on how it was maintained. If it's been sitting undriven for 25 years, it could very well need a complete rebuild unless someone is looking to put it in a museum. If it was maintained and driven about 400 miles every year it would be a great buy. I just got back from an evening at the Getty, they didn't have any 914's.

i saw lot# 76.1 bid to $24000. it's not on the sold list, though.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

all original '72 350 vette 'cept for the 2nd paint sounded pretty cheap to me, but who knows.

Hi Guys

Very nice price on that 914. The antique market has changed in the last few years, leaving the door open for some return on our investment. This is a good thing for us 914 owners, not such a good thing for future owners...

I have a theory... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

The current and probably permenant increasing fuel costs, will eventually push the average V8 tinkerer out of average hobby costs/price range. The mediocure (sp), "cool because its old", moms type car, will flood the market. V8 icons will ALWAYS be in the top dollar area.
When gas reaches $10 agallon, would you spend $300 in fuel for ride in the country in a 72 Pontiac Skylark ? Or $100 for a weekend ride in an antique Porsche ? I think 4Cyl sports cars, are going to come up in price , and in a big way.
Whatcha think ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Later

Really?

You know of other 15K mile or less 914s in pristine condition with original paint and original tires available for way less than $18K?

Let me know where they are, I'll buy them.

Settle down.... It's April first.

Problem is that so many 914's have been modified heavily, leaving few that will classify as original. And those are the ones that will command the prices like this current sale.

One the other side, if the owner had invested his $3,500 in 1970 he'd sure have a lot more than $18,000, and wouldn't have had to store & maintain the thing for 36 years.
