I concur with what racer brought up. I have an early 911 that has been heavily modified and thoroughly enjoy it. But my street car is a Boxster S. Creature comfort, great peformance and top down pleasure. If your '74 is mechanically sound, i.e., no engine or trans rebuild required, then it may be feasable to restore. Even the US Carreras are gaining value these days. You don't state what condition the car is in. As we all know, you can get upside down on a restoration really quick. Even if you you do the restoration, I doubt you'd want to drive it daily; you'd still want the Boxster. Yes, the 911 board will tell you differently, but we know better. I say keep the 911 and restore as funds permit, and go buy the newest Boxster, now, that you can afford.
