During Gooding & Company’s collector car auction at Amelia Island this week, this particularly low-mile Zambezi Green 1974 Porsche 914 2.0-liter sold for a massive $93,000 hammer price. This is an unfathomable price for such a car. A well-kept 914 is an incredible car, perhaps still one of the most underrated cars of…
As hype over all things air-cooled consumes the car community like a zombie virus, it’s hard to get a decent deal on any old Porsche.

Some cars are wildly heralded before the even hit the showrooms — Corvettes, Ferraris, Corollas (for better or for worse). Some cars never get the attention or the treatment they deserve.
It never really made sense in the first place and now it's dead. You do have to love the cheap midengine sports car, though, don't you?
Parents make a lot of sacrifices for their families. Often, it's a beloved car. For Dave, the money he saved to restore a 1973 Porsche 914 was just enough to cover a wedding.
Porsche fans are an odd bunch. They love their 356's and their 911's but anything that deviates too far from that formula gets shunned from the limelight. That's a shame because they've made some brilliant cars like the 924, 928, 944 and this, the 914.

Although some might say that the Porsche 914 was nothing but a bastard child made to replace the aging Porsche 912 and the VW Karmann-Ghia, we simply love its design, and the whole idea of a Porsche two-seater made for the masses... even if it only had 80 horsepower.

For the ultimate in avoiding high pump prices, you can go electric, however new battery-powered cars from Tesla and Fisker are pretty costly. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe electric 914's price proves that needn't be the case, but is it still shocking?
Snowplows? How about Porsche's diminutive, mid-engined targa top to tackle the blizzard? It won't be fast and it will require winter RWD skills, but look at that orange paintjob long enough and you're halfway to summer already. Photo Credit: Joost Smeets
