OK guys - time to face the music and down size the fleet a bit. In other words I found and early 911 I want to buy and am out of space, but that is besides the point. I consider myself ridiculously lucky to have to make this choice and feel a bit goofy about asking but trust y'all will take this in context.
So here is the deal. I have two TR4as. A '67 IRS and a '66 solid axle. Both have driver quality paint, '67 is mostly original paint down to it's floors even but hood went missing (I have a spare). '66 has one faded respray but will clean up to a nice patina. '67 front fender bottoms need attention, '66 needs a dent pulled out of the drivers door.
Both have newly rebuilt engine - both have working A-type ODs.
Both have TR6 rollbars but '67 has new poly bushing and adjustable camber & height rear suspension.
Both have new Toyota calipers and rear cylinders.
Both have original trim inside and need attention to wood on dash (heat).
Both are CA cars with documented SoCal ownership.
I'm into each one for +/- same money.
This will be "bracketed" by a TR6 and TR3a in the fleet. I'll have an Alfa Spider and MGC in the mix as well if that makes any difference. Plus a Bugeye.
So with all of that - which one to keep and which one to sell?
