Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Factory Racer Porsche 914-6 For $325,000?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Factory Racer Porsche 914-6 For $325,000?-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

We had the score a 44% on the Crack-Pipe-O-Meter™ last Friday, but that was due to 21% of the vote going to "other", thanks to a poll glitch. Today we're going with a car that most likely earns an approval rating of about 99.9999% from our readers: a factory-built Porsche 914-6 race car that spent its working life as a test vehicle in Stuttgart and never got beat up on the race track… until a few years ago, when it hit the vintage-race circuit. The car's seller adheres firmly to hallowed eBay tradition and goes for the EASY ON THE EYES CAPSLOCK style, though we're going to have to dock him some points for insufficiently incorrect spelling and punctuation, but it's the car's price that really gets our attention: $325,000! Great car, but would you need to smoke a rock the size of your head to have that price make sense?

79% of our readers thought that $25,000 was a hubba-fied price for 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z, but…

For $4,500, This Cabrio Adds Sunburn to Yugo Ownership Travails
Sure, the Yugo has joined the Edsel as an automotive punchline, and its diminutive size implies it may imminently unleash a profusion of clowns. Despite all that, today's Cabrio asks, who's laughing now? Not so funny was yesterday's , and in fact a surprising 62% of the votes were for...

For $8,900, This is Not a Copy Cat
For $8,900, This is Not a Copy Cat
The simplicity of Bruce Meyers' original Manx made it easy to counterfeit. Today's SR2 is his follow up, and a design that truly stands apart. But would you part with $8,900 for it? When it comes to Abarths, the best ones have their motors in the back, seemingly exploding from...

For $3,900, The M in This BMW Is For Miata
It may signal the end of the relationship when one partner comes home to find the other wearing their clothes. Today's turbo Miata wears Z3 threads, and it's ready to start a relationship with you. Maybe it's the witness protection program, or perhaps it's having seen Pricilla, Queen of the...

For $5,500, You Can Fix It Again Tony, Abarth Style
For $5,500, You Can Fix It Again Tony, Abarth Style
Fiat has an unenviable reputation in the U.S.. The Abarth name here is less well known, but is revered among the enlightened. Put them together and you get something like today's Ritmo. É buono? Aside from defining the economic and political direction of the European Union, the Germans have failed...

For $10,000, I Am Iron Man Aluminum Benz
Mercedes Benz isn't known for unleashing their untamed offspring on the public, however in 1979, they did just that. Today's 450 SLC lightens its load by adding aluminum, but is it worth lightening your wallet? Mercedes Benz has had a long and fruitful racing history, and some of their most...
