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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I have had several early 911 coupes my most recent (a '72 S) was 2nd in the peoples choice at Hershey 2002....Great cars to own and drive...
I wouldn't own a 911 Targa. I am doing my 914 as I have always wanted an open top. IMHO it's the only way to go if you want an open top. |
