Is the price of both cars the same? I'd go with the white one becuase it actually has a motor and therfore can be of some use. Is PS and a sunroof worth puttin in a new motor?

P.S the blue one might be newer but think about what caused the motor to go in the first place, it might have been abused in a past life.

Well unless you have the money for the rebuild buy the 86, the added benefit of no sunroof and no powersteering means a lighter car. Either way you are getting an old car, but look a tthe interior and make the best choice.

I'd say get the blue one if you want it to be a daily driver and you have time and money to do the rebuild. That way the blue one will have many days of good use. you don't know when the motor's going to go in that white one.

i have a engine for the blue one but i have to buy it off my dad and it is only 200 dollars more and i like do stuff like putting a new engine in. they both have the same inteirers and i am pretty sure that power steering would ne alot better then no power steering so right now i am leaning towards the blue one. thanks for all of the advice.

I don't get it when people start with a project. They usually never end .

I'de buy the 86, it sounds like a Base or might even be a Sport !
