Regarding a the 914/6, is there one year or options package that's better than the others? I would really like to read your opinions! Tell me why and show me pictures, if you have them! thanks!

you carefully left price willing to pay out of your query

- your cash in hand is the only thing that really matters,

. this is a good thread in that it brought out the fans who actually own the cars instead of the usual peanut gallery we see on BaT

if you think the 2 cars are in the same price range, you have not done due diligence

if you have the $40K or more it takes to have a decent real 914-6 nowadays - then a different $40K 911 model than a 74 911 is a 'way better option as a car you can actually use as a regular driver

i have a quite rare oem 6-er you can have for $60K cash with a 3.2 in it and a truckload of spares - appraised by the late Bruce Anderson at $50K sans the extras -

if you are under $15 K to spend - get the nicest '74 you can find that has had already had the obligatory engine rebuild !

i sold a 75 911 targa 2 yrs ago for $6500 - yes 6 5 hundred - wish i had it back at that price cuz i now have an extra 3.2 looking for a home - but it would never top $15K even after i spent the extra 8K on it doing the swap
