The 914 was my first Porsche. Yellow '73. Bought it for $100 in 1985. Needed a lot of work. Had a ton of rust for a 12-year-old car.
With more than 118,000 made it was a success on many fronts. Heck they made more than 65,000 1.7s. VW parts or not they are a blast to drive, handle better than a 911 and you see very few.
If you have a rust-free example it will always be worth money. I rarely ever see a rust-free one as they say "Karmann invented rust."
You either get the 914 or you don't. You either are attracted to the 914 or you aren't. It's not a poor man's Porsche by any means. With the last example made almost 40 years ago the supply of good ones will never meet demand.
They are cool. They are unique. I always wanted a -6 but most people who have been into the hobby know they have always been rare and desirable.
