Help ! Which Car would U Pick ? Options

[Beakster]

I have 2 914 to choose from Which one is the better deal ..

Car 1
71 914 has 1.7 that the guy sunk a ton of $$$ in the eng new pistons and barrels ,heads ,intakes, oil cooler, new crane electronic Ignition system with new ceramic wires and plugs, blaster II coil , new gaskets and push rod tubs .. The dual weber have been rebuilt and have had a bunch of work done to it .. Suspension is mostly stock 4-5bolt adapters with fancy mags ..he has told me that all the rust areas have been fixed .. so there's no rust issues. he has a few extra parts but the car runs .. But he is asking $6000.00

Car 2
73 914 has a 2.0 that was rebuilt with new pistons , dual 44 webers , full advance distributor ,and headers , 911s cross drilled 5 bolt rotors , transition kit new CV boots and set of fuchs .. But the car has been sitting for 6 years and Dosen't run because it won't turn over and I don't know how the body is for rust .. BUT he only is wanting $2500.00 too ..

So I'm stuck because I don't know the rust problems or why the eng won't turn over on car 2 .. That's what holding me back .. the cars aren't local for me to check out ..
So what car would you pick and WHY ..?
What's a transition Kit ??
P.S. Thanks Guys I'm sure Learning a lot about 914's from everyone else projects .. a BIG THANK'S to everyone .. like they say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
