Both cars seem like great values........

What would the E be worth with a matching engine?

Why are these not in the dealer section ?

Anyone interested in that coupe should get an independent PPI. I got my 74 from that seller and my “rust free” car was hiding this. All that money in paint and body and the reason I’ve never driven the car is because I need another $5k of rust repair. This is the primary reason I shipped the car home from Vegas instead of driving it. It’s unsafe to operate.

M2, you can do like a previous owner did to suspension pan rust damage of a "barn find" 911 in a current tech thread - pop rivet some thin gauge sheet metal patches over the gaping, pNutz-style holes !

^^^ Yeah, of anyone here you should know that plastic filler is not a substitute for the real thing.

Either car is just waiting to be a $100,000 investment. There are better cars to be found, for sure. Spend a little more. Get a lot more.
