If you had to choose one car as a daily driver, which would you choose?
It will get driven ~2x's a week 75 miles round trip through TN back roads.

'72 914 1.7l
Numbers matching
Willow green/tan
~28 mpg
Have core 2.0 to build up when the original engine starts crapping out
Decent shape but quite a few little things need fixing.

'72 914-6 conversion
Zambeezi green/tan
Much, MUCH better condition than the other car.
Currently a 2.2S but will eventually get a high compression 2.4E.

One is obviously faster, but the other is fast enough.
Both handle about the same.
Better gas mileage in the 4.

Dont really need to sell either, but could use some cash for other projects.
Specifically a 71E Targa I want to start working on.
