70S Targa or 70E Coupe??

[BK911]

One more car has to go. I can either sell the S to help fund the E's restoration, or vise versa. Whichever one I keep will be restored to a driver, not a show car. Please help me decide! A little about each car:

70S Targa – Originally silver. Rust bucket and major project. I like the fact that it’s a targa, but don’t really want an S to cruise around town in. However, I have no problem shelving the original engine and installing something else.



70E Coupe – mostly rust free and complete, but needing complete mechanical restoration and paint. Originally a sporto converted to 5sp. Has AC. I love the color (tangerine), like the AC, and would probably convert back to sporto.



What would you do?

I'd go for the E coupe, but that's just me. I like the lines of a coupe better than the Targa. But I'm a spoiled brat. I have a 911 coupe, and a (non-Porsche) convertable.

Sell them both and buy one that is already in better shape.

sell the one that is in best shape as that one will make the most money.

How much time do you have and how are you at repairing rust? From what I understand they both need mechanicals but the S also needs some rust repair. I think it also boils down to do you want a targa or a coupe. Depending on the price of coarse you may have an easier time selling the coupe. Most don't want to deal with the rust issues.

I just saw in your sig line that you already have a 73.5 coupe so I would keep the targa. One of each would be nice. I plan on picking up another targa when I get the chance. Just don't tell my wife.
