Had to find a pic of an interceptor for that year to get a frame of reference.
I would keep the 914. I could be biased. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) http://www.autoblog.com/photos/1973-jensen-interceptor/ |

jensen interceptors are somewhat rare as only 6408 were built, hand built at the Kelvin Way Factory in the UK, Designed in italy, motors was mopar, 383 p or a 440 six pac ,k trann6y was a TorqueFlite , car were very prone top rust so that 6408 would be a lot less now,

Depends. If your looking to temporary stay from work that would do it. If you want a garage queen that you let sit until the brakes and seals dry up get the Jensen. If you want to drive a classic, Really drive a classis build the 914. If the shell is as rust free as you say your money ahead.

Are you following heart or dollars here? What's the condition of the Jensen?
Could be a good trade on the dollars side.....you can always get another 914 although 95% rust free chassis are harder to find for a project. http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/...port?vc=1330639 |

I dunno.
Always liked the Jensen. Used to be one in Indalantic Fla that I would walk by and lust after. Pretty low car, lots of front and rear room, large greenhouse and a big ass US V-8 engine. Rear drive or FF 4 wheel drive? |

I'm pretty sure the Jensen Interceptors were rear wheel drive, live axle. My buddy had one with the 440. it was fast, and ate lots of fuel...

No way. I might have done that back in the 80s but not today. Take a long look at parts availability and prices. And don’t forget to investigate the quality of the available parts. Take a look at window seals, switches, and all the little things that wear and break. It’s not like 914s were you can pretty much order anything you need and have it overnighted to you.
