The Suby, V8, 6 conversions and other mods currently being done on the 914 are all interesting alternatives and additions to the stock make up/characteristics of the car. But coming from a dollars & cents, and return on investment angle wouldn't a nicely done stock 914 make the most sense? After looking and comparing the Sold "Stock" or mostly Stock restorations and the Sold mild to highly modified cars and the prices they are selling for, it just doesn't seem like all the additional $'s spent on modifying a car are worth it when it comes to resale end of things.
Is there something I am missing? |

This is a "if you have to ask..." kind of question. The guys I see restoring to investment quality are pros. And if you're a pro you already know the answer. I'm banking on the hope that I can restore to fun-and-reliable-driver quality. And it's hard to have fun while driving a museum-piece.
