[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 1458741, member: 15488"] Yep - anything air-cooled has gotten silly even before the pandemic. Watch [URL='https://bringatrailer.com/porsche/914/?q=porsche+914']the 914 auctions on BringATrailer[/URL] and you begin to understand that the 914 hasn't been the "unloved Porsche" for nearly the past ten years - the secret is out on how great these cars are. I remember when these could be had for 1/3 of those prices in great condition and they were less loved than they are today. Now you see them on Jay Leno's Garage and Instagram. You can't really built a big six 914 for under $50K these days. The stock 4-bangers are now $25-45K in nice condition, and a real 914-6 now sits at $85-125k.The high water mark for [URL='https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-porsche-914-6-gt-build-with-3-6/']a hotrod 914 is $171K[/URL]. Two 914's are well into the highest six figures - the [URL='https://petrolicious.com/articles/porsche-914-6-gt-sets-record-with-995000-sale#:~:text=A%201970%20Porsche%20914%2F6,Yes%2C%20a%20914!']very rare 914-6 GT that sold for $995K[/URL], and the ultimate 914 - the Le Mans GT winning Sonata car that sold privately for over $1M. My current rule with air-cooled is the same with tools - only buy, never sell. The general rule on Porsches is you never pay too much - you just buy too early. But if you fancy getting one, give a holler - there are good ones to be had, but there are also many many dogs... [/QUOTE]
