I post this on the 914world facebook group but I still can't decide. Still looking for someone with that golden advice that makes me say "Yah, thats what I need to do"
I have a 73 Alaska blue metallic. Matching numbers. Its rusty but complete. Will need full restoration. I also have 78 911SC roller. complete minus motor and trans. It pretty nice shape save for cracks in dash and seats. I can only keep one. What would you do?? Attached image(s) |

Had a 1973 914 and a 1979 911 SC, but could only keep one. The 914 was probably worth $10k~ or maybe a bit more at the time. The 911 was worth $18k~. I reasoned that I could always find another nice 911 SC, but that finding another 914 like mine would be tougher. And I'd had it since I was 15.
I still have the 914. HOWEVER, if I were in your shoes, I'd keep the 911 SC and move the 914 on. Why? I'd much rather source and engine/trans/dash/upholstery than deal with a rusty 914...and you can always use the 911 SC as a bargaining chip to get into a better 914 down the road. Maybe a six conversion, or just a really (!) nice 914-4. Just my two cents… |
