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) ![]() ![]() |

^ Gonna have to agree with the above.
If you have a nice 911 SC (indeed a key piece of missing info), then it doesn't make much sense (to me) to sell the 914 to keep another SC. I'd sell both and turn them into a nicer 914 to go alongside your existing SC. Or sell your running SC and the rusty 914 use the funds to get the other SC running and a better 914. Rust ain't fun to deal with, and always leaves me with a sinking feeling that the job is never truly done. And I agree with everyone that 914s are cooler at events, etc for the simple fact that they are now much more unusual. Saw the same thing at Rennsport, and see it all the time at EASY. There are more 356s at most Porsche events than 914s, and the 912s look like the scores of 911s. 914s really stand out, are worth studying, and are the last stop before modern, water-cooled 924/944/928/etc. |
