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! |

Original owner and Original paint are two things that sound VERY nice if trying to sell down the road (and before you say that you do not plan to sell.... it happens). Big bumper cars used to be a NO-NO a few years ago.... now..... not such a big deal. You can always backdate and keep the fatties on the shelf. VERY simple.
Think about what is in front of you.... in this case, TWO cool cars..... and ask yourself which one might NEVER be available to you again. Yes, the 73 YEAR is more valuable..... but the other may be more SPECIAL. I have an original paint car. It is a unique detail. Obviously not a performance detail - but if the paint is original and NICE? Well, that might make this car more "valuable" than a car being manufactured in a certain year. OK... I could go back and forth on this one...... in short, pull the trigger on the one that you would KICK yourself for passing on. Good luck! (.... buy the original owner car!!!!) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I say the original paint car if it looks good. Rust is the big killer on these cars and repairs can cost a huge amount of money. Show them and we can tell you what we really think as they could be a POS. Also try to get a 914-world member to view them in person if you can Welcome to the 914world Bob B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
