i have an s13 coupe(89), it needs some work. i also have the oppurtunity to purchase a 1990 hatchback, needs some work

my question is, im thiking about buying it, and building one nice car out of the 2 cars. i like the coupe myself. but if i decide to sell it later on, what would be worth more?

effort on each car is pretty similar, so its a toss-up.

thanks, matt

i bet the fb's sell easier, everyone and there mom reading superstreet wants a "180sx" or a sil80... lol

plus i think more people see them as looking sportier

fastbacks handle better

coupe = rare
coupe = OwNZZzz JooOoO
however... it all comes down to your personal taste
both cars are about equal in every aspect IMO

Based on my observations the coupes are being sold for less than a fastback.

i thinbk i may go with the hatch, i already have a coupe(my s14)so.

why would the hatch handle better? just by being a bit lighter?

better weight distribution...I don't think it can be a distinct difference though. It's not like driving a fastback will result in better lap times.

i just bought a s13 fastback as a project as a drive my coupe. they are both special in their own way and it is super cool to have both. i may eventually sell my coupe and buy another as it is a little rough. i paid less than 1000 for each car so i think it is a good investment. i could sell the coupe for 2500, or maybe more as time goes on because of the drift "craze" that is coming soon. get them while they are cheap
