I'll have to say that the Samba car has far more worth than the evilbay car. The Samba car (quirky color, but I like it) has proven photographically that is what I would call "slick", and comcours ready with a few hours work. Appears to be very well restored, so it's not going to be considered original.

There are a number of nit-picks I have with the '76, but I love the color. "Perfect" and "nicest" are bad terms to use for any car, but the '76 has a lot of negatives.

They are both worthy cars......but.

The '74 is the second best performing 914-4. The '76 is not.

The '74 is ready & willing to perform anywhere. The '76 is limited, and will require some serious bucks to match the quality of the '74.

I feel that the '74 is fairly priced, given the costs of resto and the world market lust for these. Maybe a little high, but hey, the work is done. And, it's a significant multiple PVA national concours winner.

I also feel that the '76 is a darned good base (assuming the chassis & hellhole are good), and could be a great owner. Price is seriously too high though, particularly because it isn't a well-optioned car and down on performance.

I'd take the '74, in a nano, for 18k. '76 - 12K maybe.

But, what do I know?
