Which would you choose?
I only have room for one coupe, so one needs to go. Which would you choose?

1962 Porsche 356B S90 coupe. Needs very little, just get in and enjoy.




Or

1971 Porsche 911E sporto coupe. Tangerine non-sunroof. Needs paint and COMPLETE assembly.

Not mine, but hopefully will look like this when finished:




I cant decide which I want more for a semi-daily driver. I already have a 911 coupe but she is mostly a track car. I also have an early Targa under restoration to be a street car, so I really dont *need* another 911 coupe.

So? Keep the 356 and sell the 911E?
What would you do?

Keep them both if you can, thats a tough call if one has to be picked over the other, if it was me I'd look in to storage for the 911.

Thanks guys. Seems most are thinking the same as I am, which is surprising on a 911 board. Especially a 911lvr choosing a 356!!

Apples and oranges, but I'd keep the 911E. Don't care for the sporto, but I love tangerine. Sporto could always be changed at some point.
