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.

I like the lift idea - great way to keep both cars and not require remote storage - assuming the lift will fit in your garage.

I like the lift idea, too. Low ceiling won't allow it though.
I may have found a free garage space less than a mile away.

I'll be talking to my cousin in the next day or two. if it doesn't happen, I'm more than content just to be able to own one impractical car, let alone two of them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
