914 or 912 , daily driver / 1st porsche, because the children of america need hero's Options

I've been looking for a 914 driver for quite awhile , and have stumbled over 912's in the process that look like good deals and i'm curious if they would be better suited for me.


914 pro 's con's / 912 pro's con's : 914-mid engine +


914 con , it's kind of small and i'm 6-2 with long legs and arms , big feet

will the 912 be better space wise and what is everyone's read on the

912 in general ??? Rust , what else ???

i've seen 912's for big money and not so big . and compared with 914-4's{ only} i've seen some 914 's that are nice for 10 to 6 grand . So money wise what's goes on with 912's - are 912's under 10 K . a good buy or really dangerous money pit?

1969 Porsche 912, runs and drives great.
Paint has a great shine, not rusty like most old Porsche's.

Has a 5 speed that shifts smoothly, Recaro seats and 15" Fuchs wheels.

That's a good look'n 912 for sure.... just depends on some preferences. If you're not into the performance driving as much, want a little quiter ride and a fixed roof, the 912 is a nice car.

But, read this next sentenance slowly.... "NOTHING handles like a teener. Period!" For that kind of money you can get a really nice one too. Recently we even saw a lucky member find a nice 914-6 for about that price.

I'm just over 6'3" and 210 lbs and wear size 12. It works well for me, I don't wear a hat with the top on and I've modified my lower seat cushion to sit just a tad lower.
