All things being equal (and I know they never really are), would you choose a matching numbers 1.8 or a car where the PO has switched out the 1.8 for a 2.0? Does an engine switch like this devalue the car significantly?

with everyone above. Matching Numbers, Numbers Correct to me are just for bragging rights. Most of us on here have improved our vehicles for either safety or reliability reasons. Since I only own 1 914 right now; I prefer it has a "Porsche" motor and tranny. But lets' face it; a 1.7, 1.8, and a 2.0 will only let you go so fast. With that said, my next teener will have a power plant that is not original to the car whether it be a 3.2, Subie, or V8. Most teener owners aren't caught up with concourse cars; we just like to have a teener to drive. Just me 1/2 cents worth. |
