What would you take: a well sorted out 1972 914 1.7L with no rust and everything running perfectly, or a 1976 911S 2.7L with unknown history, but generally good appearance. (Nothing known on the history of the engine.)
I have the opportunity to trade, and am debating if getting into the 911 world is a nightmare waiting to happen. (I don't have thousands and thousands to spend on fixing lots of things up...) Curious to hear people's opinions. |

Totally depends on the condition of the 911. Sounds like you know your 914 pretty well. I'd much rather have a nice '72 914 than a ratty mid-year 911. What's the motivation of the 911 owner to do the trade? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've had multiple 914s and a really awesome 6 along with an exceptional 84 911...like one the story's above when the time came, the 911 was sent on its way and I kept the 914 because I knew it would be harder to replace and honestly it was more endearing to me on many levels. The '76 911 was two years into big bumpers, catalysts and non-dipped bodies...the 2.7's pull studs, if the condition was unknown, I'd personally opt for the 914. Really though its up to you and what you want to do with it! |
