914 or '81 911 SC targa?, First world problems Options

[rjames]

I may have the option to acquire a silver '81 911 SC Targa at no cost. The catch is that if I ever sold it, the $ would go back to the original owner's estate.

Seems like a no brainer, but I only have one garage space and the 914 is in it. The 911 is in good condition and worth about $20k more than the 914, but I'm not sure I will like driving the 911 as much as I do the 914 (despite the 914s shortcomings in comparison).

I could potentially keep both, but that would mean storing one of the cars off site in a storage facility ($100?+ per month) and paying insurance on 2 cars. Money I'd rather not spend. It would also be a huge PITA when I wanted to drive the car that lived in storage. So it doesn't seem very realistic or practical to keep both vehicles, but I'm having hard time with the thought of selling the 914.

Would love to hear from those that chose one model over the other after having owned both.

These opportunities are rare, if you've never owned a 911, I would take ownership. Enjoy it for as long as you wish. If you sell it, give her the money back.

The cost to "store" the 914 is simply that. If you want the opportunity to really " experience" the joys of driving a 911...its going to cost you until you actually decide.
The 911s are not difficult to drive and maintain, from someone that's been there done that.
