early 911 or 79 SC

I've only recently started looking for a 911. I wan't something fun to drive that I can use to attend some DEs/SCCA Solo and use to really learn how to performance drive in. Not a daily driver, but a nice fun car. My plan was to find decent 73 or earlier 911T. I'm quite capable of working on cars and have all the non specialty tools but I don't particularly care for body work.
In my looking I found a 79 SC Targa for around $11K with about 80K miles. Seems to be in good shape, no visible rust, a few door dings no PPI yet.
So the price seems right (pending PPI), and I'd have a lot less body work to deal with than if I got an early 911. I'm assuming maintence/parts between the two would be similar in cost but not sure about that. My main question is, for the purposes I outlined above, should I keep looking for an early 911, or go get the PPI and jump on this deal?
