Time 4 a new old brick 700

The '84 surely will develope problems w/ the engine wireing harness insulation deteriorating and shorting out. The '91 has the better engine. The turbos shouldn't be an issue unless they haven't been treated well and allowed to spin down enough after use. Don't know if the older Garret is water cooled but I've don't remember ever reading anything about one being more fragil than the other. Both cars have really low mileage so the deciding factor may be the presence of rust on the '91 although with that low mileage it may have spent alot of time in a garage away from the winter road salt.
