    As a collectible, either one is great. If the wheelbases are actually different (and we won't know for sure until you post the VIN), there are good arguments for both cars given that the conditions are the same.
    Thank you Uptheorg

    1969 2.0 S vs 1970 2.2 S would be much more difficult
    Thank you 928cs

    I agree.

    As you know it is not, 1. kind to place pictures of details of other people's property on the internet, and 2, It is illegal in my country.
    Therefore, why don't you just be so kind as to answer a simple question ?
    Maybe I shall rephrase it to make it even more simple.
    If one had to choose as an investment car, with an fortnightly drive in the dry to keep it on it's toes, from two fully restored cars ( as per best procedures possible , by renowned Porsche specialists in their respective countries) which would be the best one to go for , me being a novice ?
    1) being a 911 s 2.2 year of manufacture 1970 or
    2) being a 911 SWB ( US CAR ) 2.0 year of manufacture 1968
    They are both matching numbers and colours
    Maybe you can be even more kind by answering this simple question (by a new member) instead of going into details which only contracted experts on site can determine.
    My quest is not perfection , but trying to make the best buy possible since it will be my last in a collection of three special cars
    Again, I thank you

    Thank you
    Although there is market data available, your challenge to us is subjective and will come down to opinion. Unless I'm mistaking the question you're asking which model has the most upside in terms of enjoyment and future appreciation. A non S SWB coupe vs. a 2.2S coupe.
    HANDS DOWN a proper 2.2S coupe is one of the most sought after and delightfully unusual 911s ever built.

    There's no contest here whatsoever in my opinion.

    So this exquisite and completely accurate restoration performed by a renowned Porsche expert included leaving on the butt-ugly U.S. spec reflectors. And the equally obnoxious air pump system?

    If not then it's not an accurate restoration.

    If so; why on earth would you even consider it? '68 U.S. 911 does not have a favorable following.
