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.

Appreciate all the responses.
The full story is that my cousin who owned the 911 passed away. He has willed the car to me. His wife contacted me to let me know and ask if I wanted it. I said, yes, but only if you she didn't want it for herself or if she could use the money from selling it. She said that it was my decision. I told her to think about it more. Knowing what the car is worth I don't want her giving it to me if she needs the $ or would have any negative feelings about it at all. A car isn't worth destroying family ties.
I told her to think about it and I would do the same.

I am thinking that if she does really want me to have it and I decide to take it, I would only do so under the agreement that I'm just the caretaker while she's alive. If she wants it back, it's hers. If I take it and decide later I don't want it- she gets first dibs on it. If I sell it, the money is hers minus any $ I put into it, within reason. She doesn't have any kids.

I like the idea of storing the 914 and driving the 911 for a year to figure out next steps.

That said, she might end up keeping it/selling it. Easy come, easy go. I'll keep y'all posted.
