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)

From a financial sense it would make more sense to sell them both and buy a good running 911 or 914

QUOTE(billh1963 @ Jan 7 2019, 06:39 AM)  From a financial sense it would make more sense to sell them both and buy a good running 911 or 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Once you source an engine and trans, the SC could be made running very quickly. But even without, It has pretty good value as it sits. The rusty 914 will take lots of time and money and probably wont be more than what it cost to fix it but if it’s pretty rusty, it’s only a parts car as it sits. Off the top of my head I would guess your SC is worth about $12-15 while the 914 is worth about $3. |
