I would suggest that the 986 and the 914 are vastly different in terms of their places in Porsche history. The 914 was a standalone car - nothing came afterwards (924/944/968 were complete different designs/platforms).

Whereas, the 986 is a true sister car to the 996 and the 987 was still closely related to the 997. Even though the 981 and 991 aren't as closely related, the design language of both the 981 and the 991 clearly tie back to the 986.

This heritage will make the 986 many, many times more collectable than the 914.
