What do you want to do with the car is a good place to start? I like the blue once but i just like blue cars. They both seem pretty well built.
The Sliver car with lower millage might be a better purchase depending on the price.

both same price , I’ve 15k extra to add and modify plus whatever I’m buying will be stripped off body carpet and all , repainted and reinforced , treatment new carpet and put back
im planning to keep for good and my target to hit 600hp just to drive enjoy no tracking to compete only for my joy and mess with some street cars

The Blue one is a pretty well built street car.

The Blue one has a full exhaust and radiator and a stock frame Turbo. The black is a little laggy but not as bad as the 62/64 turbo. It has AC and power steering. Power steering is the big one just make driving around a lot nicer. The only thing about the blue one is making 600 HP a built motor would give a little more peace of mind.

thank you so much for sharing your experience and input. I’ll upgrade/ modify it if I buy it for example if it need better camshaft, piston, bolts, fan, clutch , suspension etc … I’ve saved money to add / complete the build and as well ecu not going cheap on the upgrades. Me too I prefer the power steering. You think 25k is good price ? 🤔 If so I’ll buy it today !

I'd say the EB one, just because of the built driveline and 4.11 gears. I'd be a bit weary about the stock block making 600hp though, maybe de-tune the car or throw some rods/pistons at it

Def spent more than a couple winters being driven, looks like a good candidate for a daily tbh. The rust doesn't look crazy bad just beginning stages from the pictures. I wonder how the subframe/chassis legs looked

yea but for the price range that's about the type id expect. Evo's in the 20k's will either have rust or mechanical issues. Always more likely rust. 30k's will be nice but mid-highish mileage questionable mods/tune. 40-50k+ is where the real problem free example are at.
