914-6 conversion or 911 Targa?, What would you do? Options

[BK911]

I've changed my mind almost every day, sometimes several times a day. One day I am doing a -6 conversion, the next I am selling and picking up an early 911 Targa.

I have about 5k in my 914. Add the $'s for a -6 conversion, 5 lug, fuchs and brakes, and I am about $15k out of pocket. I can pick up a decent 911T Targa for that.

I think both body styles are funky looking enough to make them look awesome. So looks are even. $'s are close enough to be even. 914 should have the performance, but the 911 should have the resale.

What would you do?

Go with the conversion.

In the end, you'll be happier.

The Targa 'Parts Donor' won't handle as well as a modified 914-6, nor be as quick (acceleration) without having spent the cost of a 914-6 conversion in suspension mods. Then there's performance mods (easiest is to swap in a much larger engine or rebuild [$$$$$]))... Best investment would be the 914 for fun factor. But if you're looking to get money out of either car in the longrun, a properly-done six conversion should fetch to close a 911 targa.
