Keep in mind the sensible thing is to part them both and buy a good running 3 year old Honda.
78 has no panache excepting the first 50 or less cars. See this thread on number 64 going to the crusher,
Early 78 5 spd headed for the SoCal crusher
Teal is prettier than brown, manual trumps auto for fun, but auto is cheaper to fix.
Euro S is 80+, motor ID M28/11 or 12. Pre 80 Euro motor is the same as US pre 80.
HP about the same, MPG better on82 Ljet, 5 spd way more frisky that AT.
78/79 have been the cheapest 928 by a LARGE amount for more than 25 years, generally most have seen harder times than other model years, but what counts are the cars you have.
928's are not a sensible pursuit, trying to think about them sensibly just confuses things. Which one do you feel like working on?
Which one would you rather not take a part off of even if the other one might need it?
Which one has the best chance of becoming a driver in time for spring 928 events?

was told the euro 320 hp have to look up numbers on eng block, the 15 time looking for them been told and told but cant seem to find.
the 78 and 82 should have same hp what the 82 might have 1 more hp one more sec 0-60 on the 78 if the 78 is a what 219hp
82 just another yr in the making just a vin number. although 5 yrs newer maybe maybe not 5 yrs less wear and tear
78 brought from overseas New York probably not yearly driver. The 82 New York and Vermont probably not daily driver.
Who knows how old the people were what they did with them and how much maintenance done to them.
But if you had these two cars and were in same running condition GOOD
