The Porsche was regarded as the best value if a good one was found.

Restoration costs are a factor in present values of collectible cars. Pre '74 911s have to go for big coin because they have to be restored.

From what i have read the 928 sales compared to 911 was for a while about 1:2, and towards the production end 1:4 of 911 sales. We shall see if the 928 ever gets the respect it deserves, as Porsche offers more and more front engined V8 automobiles maybe the 928 will gain some clout and be less reviled by the air cooled only set.

You know early 996 generation 911s have a really lousy resale, you can pick up a 98- 2001 911 for under $20K. They are a lot of fun too, so its not just 928s. I think 914s suffer the most and that is a fun little car to drive.

I like your attitude! Look more closely at the 914. It is seeing big growth across the board, in particular the 914/6 (obviously) and mid-marque 1.8L (w/early body) are gaining appreciation and value.

FWIW, here an article I wrote for Hagerty. Its worth noting the valuation aspects of the articlee were added by Hagerty.
