Motorsports Monday: Porsche 914-6

Published December 29, 2014 by Paul

The Porsche 914 is a car that owes a lot of its development and existence to the 911. Originally designed as an entry level model in the late 1960s, Porsche would eventually slot a flat-6 engine under the hood. However, in doing so, the price would jump to near that of the 911T. As a result, sales were poor, with folks either choosing the more expensive 911 or the less expensive 914 with the flat-4 engine. While we see a lot of 911s and even 912s in race livery here on GCFSB, a 914 done up for track use is a bit more uncommon. This 914-6 for sale in Tennessee had its 2.0 liter engine bored out to 2.2 liters and will come with a trailer if bidding reaches $45,000.

2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S w/ X51 package

Published December 28, 2014 by Rob

I can’t remember the last time I wrote up a 997, and like with the 996TT, which I have written about frequently, the 997 provides us with a nice value comparison for those interested in a 911, but for whom performance might trump long term value. As we will see with the car here, since these cars already have passed through their significant depreciation from new they can be had for reasonable cost while retaining some of that cost for any future sale. For those who can’t get past the 996’s styling a car like this one, a Black 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S with the X51 performance package and just 28,500 miles might be just the sort of thing to look for. Added to the power increase of the Carrera S over the standard Carrera, the X51 package raises horsepower to 381 and torque to 306 lb-ft appearing to push the limits of just how much Porsche can extract from the car’s 3.8 liter flat-six while remaining fairly comfortable and without reverting to forced induction.

1991 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published December 27, 2014 by Rob

One day I will cease to be surprised by the continued rise of the air-cooled 911 market, but today is not yet that day! The market for fast 964s possibly has been the craziest among the entire 911 line. Long hood values have risen quite a bit, but many of those cars have been quite valuable for some time now, and while we’ve seen the value of the 3.2 Carrera and 930 rise significantly, neither seems to match what’s going on with the 964, perhaps excepting the standard Carrera 2. There are the obvious examples like the RS America and Turbo 3.6, but even the first 964 Turbo, carrying over the 3.3 liter flat-six of the 930, is rising in value significantly. Granted some of the rise I see comes through asking prices rather than sales, which can be difficult to track accurately, but it seems clear where the market is going. This brings us to the car we see here: a Triple Black 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Connecticut, with 37,000 miles on it and pretty high asking price of $134,900.

1972 Porsche 914

There seems to be no end to the rise in air-cooled Porsche prices, but one of those cars that has lagged behind the crowd is the 914. This car was a joint venture between Porsche and Volkswagen, meant to be a halo car for Volkswagen to success the Karmann Ghia and to replace the 912 as the base model in the Porsche lineup. Throughout the years, Porsche has seemed to be a bit confused on what to field as an “entry level” car, as they went from a four cylinder 911, to this 914, then to the front-engined, water-cooled 924 and finally, the mid-engine Boxster that debuted in the late 1990s. The 914 would last for eight years, from 1969 through 1976, available in both four and six cylinder form. This 1972 example for sale in Idaho was originally a California car, looking stunning in silver metallic.

1974 Porsche 911 Targa

Published December 25, 2014 by Rob

November was, unofficially, Targa month here at GCFSB and we featured just about every air-cooled variant of the Targa Porsche produced. Here is one of the earlier variants that we didn’t feature: a Gemini Blue Metallic 1974 Porsche 911 Targa, located in California, with a reported 41,400 miles on it. We did feature a European Targa from 1976 during the November Targa explosion, but the ’74 models garner a little more interest on the market and this one is Gemini Blue, one of my personal favorites within the Porsche paint spectrum. 1974 was a year of significant change for the 911 and while typically unloved they are ever-so-slowly beginning to gain some appreciation, whether as a simple function of time (and thus increased rarity) or perhaps as the first 911 to take on the new design. Still, with a couple exceptions, the mid-year 911s remain a long way off the value of their predecessors.
