1.8L vs 2.0L Options

[Cal]

After owning early 911's for years I've decided to find a mint/excellent condition 914 to possibly purchase.....ideally a '73 2.0L. I've found a possble candidate that's for sale through a very reputable member here. The only issue.....it's a '74 with a 1.8L. Question......in the long run would I regret not waiting for a similar 2.0L to hit the market? Is the performance difference that noticeable between the two? Here's a photo of the 1.8L car in question. Any advice would be helpful....I'm all ears.

All things being equal, a 73-74 2.0L will always hold the top spot in terms of 914/4 value.

That being said, condition is the highest criteria and man of the highest value 914/4 survivor cars are 1.8L. Engine size does not seem to matter at that level, its mostly about condition.

This page is not that current but is only a couple years out of date.
