Please be patient.

Looks like you've got it extra rough

I'd really love a good Porsche and a good bit of 60-72 American iron of some sort.

912 ftw.

Which one do you enjoy driving the most? There's your answer.

They bof suck .... I'll take them if ya build ME a garage tho...

The choice is obvious !

Depends if you want to sit on a lawn chair behind your car at a get-together car show, or drive on a winding scenic drive in the country.

One for show, one for go.

I like the garage idea posted.

Depends on my mood. My past K Code to Shelby spec (poppy red fastback) was a lot of smiles per mile.

Both are a joy.

A Mustang at a car show????

Even though I'm not a Ford guy, since the 912E wouldn't pass the smog req't's here being it's a '76 model, I'd opt for the Mustang.
I'm just wondering what the conversation is about disc brakes. Are you trying to decide whether or not to do one?
If so, I vote yes for the brake conversion.

I got a 912E to pass CA emissions two years ago. It wasnt easy and barely ran.

That’s how it would work for me too. If not I’d try to keep both. Get a four post lift maybe?

And I bet it didn't have the dual carb conversion this one does either.

To me, anything with a manual transmission is preferable to anything with an automatic.

[fanaudical]

Congrats on having to make tough choices like that...

I agree.

[pavulon]

Convert the Mustang to a 4 or 5 speed.

[BK911]

Thanks guys.
Have room for both, but want to thin out the herd.
Leaning towards the mustang to use as a family car, kind of an ice cream machine.
The 912 would be a work commuter car for me, and I already have a few of those.
No more manuals for me, only autos with ac!!
