A lot of information lately about the new appreciation for the 914. I am so very happy about it because I dearly love these cars. In this area a lot of people know this and call me regularly about parts cars. Here in the South there is a lot of rusty 914, a lot are very restorable. So, what I'm saying, there is a lot of used parts. What is the future for these parts, with shipping being expensive, hackers, and the abundance of parts, are they worth buying up for future resale? I came from the 356 area and those parts are like gold
. because they made few cars. It just hard to walk away from Porsche parts, trying to get a handle on investing in the future of our hobby. Going to look at four cars tomorrow for probably under $2000. Let me know what you think, I probably to old to be contemplating this... |

There are guys with big 914 part stashes who have sold for pennies on the dollar to get rid of them because storage cost so much.
We are buying another big 911 parts haul and figured out that any more than 35% of sale price isn’t worth the trouble. My friend Rob owns dc auto. 145k square feet indoors. He told me selling anything less than $50 costs him money. |
