No contest; the 914-6. I owned one from 6/71 until 7/89 and for six of those years it was my DD. Great car and in the day would outperform the '74 in everything but snob appeal to those not in the know. A Porsche "Q-ship" if there ever was one. Also more covered luggage area than a 911.

BUT a 911 and the 914-6 are totally different cars personality-wise. You need to drive both to see which fits you. I currently have an SC but only because I couldn't afford another real six. I would swap in an instant if I could.

As for collectibility I don't think there's any question that a real six is far more desirable than about any normal production 911 from '74 on (I know I'll catch some flak for that comment). The -6 is unique, the 911 is not.

Finally, a decision based on "collectibility" is flawed. Buy it because it's fun to drive and it "fits" you, not because you want to make money on it.
