A few years ago I had a pristine 1970 240Z and traded it for a 1974 914-4 that required more work than I anticipated. I owned the Z for 4 years but never grew fond of it. I had fond memories of driving a 914 once back in the 70's and bought one on that basis alone. The Z was faster, had a better shifter, and never broke down. The 914 is just fun to drive. I will take the 914 any day.
