Not a lot...pretty low numbers. If I had to guess? 528 of them, if you mean USA models. Alas, 2 things against them. 1. they were pretenders, not a '73 RS. A design by ducktail and decal. 2. The USA delivered 2.7 engine. A stock 2.4 "S" from '72 or '73 will blow the doors off a stock '74 USA Carrera. The Euro 1974 RS's were another tale, and are probably one of the most undervalued old P-cars around, because they ran the same basic mechanicals as the '73 RS, only with the bumpercar body...The USA models seem to be dragging down the Euro models in value...

my personal oppinion is that the 74 and 74 euro coupes will be rediscovered soon with prices climbing. with 73 rs prices going through the roof, a lot of us will appreciate these almost as fast cars for 1/4 of the money. Problem with most euro cars is rust of course. and they most likely led hard lives over there.

According to the Red Book, if I am reading it correctly 528 coupes and 246 Targas were US built cars....If you look at ROW you have allot more. Good guess pwd.
