What would you take: a well sorted out 1972 914 1.7L with no rust and everything running perfectly, or a 1976 911S 2.7L with unknown history, but generally good appearance. (Nothing known on the history of the engine.)
I have the opportunity to trade, and am debating if getting into the 911 world is a nightmare waiting to happen. (I don't have thousands and thousands to spend on fixing lots of things up...) Curious to hear people's opinions. |

Starting in 1976, Porsche started using fully galvanized bodies on the 911's.
When I got my 1980 Targa, while there was lots of road rash on the front valance & bumper, there was NO rust on the body. This from an Ohio car that may have been subjected to heavily salted roads in the winter. 76 was a bad year for the thermal reactors that resulted in extra heat exposure to the motor and some pulled head studs but the underside shot looks as it may have been updated ??.. Have somebody who knows to a PPI by all means. God luck |
