So, what was the car you drove from 1974 through the 90s, when you acquired the 911 & El Camino.

I always think of Pee Wee Herman when I read your posts.
It was this. My 1974 914 2.0 that I special ordered from the dealership. All Porsches were sold only at a VW dealership in those days. The salesmen knew nothing about the 914 or any Porsche. It took them 6 months to get my car delivered. I took delivery on September 13th 1974. I had already made 5 payments on it to the credit union before it was delivered. When I got married my wife rode with me to Arkansas for a fall foliage tour. She told me I needed a car with air conditioning. That is when I started looking for my 911. I bought my 911 in August of 1995. I sold the 914 the next spring. I still miss it, but I don't have room to keep it.
The photo above is from about 1979. I still had the CB radio in it. The rear springs had finally worn out and the Bilstien shocks were stiff enough that if I hit a dip in the road, the springs would compress, but the shocks would not allow the wheel to move down fast enough. I set up the camera, and had a buddy shoot several photos, and then I replaced the rear springs. It fixed the issue.
