I am in the process of buying a '73 zambesi green 2 ltr for 10K and it will need approx. 2K in work. On the other hand, A guy contacted me about his Dad's one owner '75
white 1.8 ltr that he wants to sell. The white is $12K and is absolutely stunning. No issues of any kind. Perfect original paint. What the hell would you do? Choose the '73 2ltr or the '75 1.8ltr? What's the best points of both cars? Is the 1.8 THAT much slower? Worth less $$? Thanks guys! |

Is the 1.8 THAT much slower? Worth less $$? Thanks guys! The earlier 1.7s are "slower" the 75 1.8 is the "slowest" 914 built and yes it is a noticeable difference. How much the cars are worth is really dependent on a lot of things condition and originality having a lot to do with it. At 50 years old though you can pretty much assume ANY car in the 10-12k price range will need some level of work. either one could easily be hiding rust or shoddy repains. Pictures and knowing more specifics would help. As for long term performance, unless you are looking to keep it stock they can both get to the same place, just might take more money if you start with a 1.8... really all depends on what your goals are. |
