    1965 Irish Green Normal is attractive due to originality
    1969 Blood Orange S is attractive due to originality and performance

    winner = 1969S for long term price appreciation.

    The 1969 should have a 2.0 engine.

    Yes, I guess it's less original than he thought

    Who cares? They are both great cars and you guys should be happy to own them.

    I would rather DRIVE the '69S though.

    Keep in mind the OP is in Europe, and their tracking of build date versus model year sometimes gets confusing... meaning it could be a late 69 built, MY 70 car...

    This is a very interesting question, as I have a early 65 coupe (in need of full restoration, no original motor) as my next project. Last week, I came across a 67S coupe in the same condition and I was wondering which one should be the best investment or the most desired ? Should I keep the 65 or buy the 67S, unfortunetly, I cannot afford both... And I want to have a second car that will complement my 70S hot rodded. I'm anxious too hear other opinions about that !

    Regards

    The 67 911S will have a little more interest to people because of the performance aspect alone. Chris
