Everyone,
Well, I can't believe it has been 23 years since I first posted this thread. Quite a bit has happened in that time. Long story short, I raised two sons and am still married!
I also acquired a couple more 74 Carreras.
Over the years, we have always monitored this thread. Using several sources including this thread, ads, other sites, and finally the classified ads in PCA's Panorama magazine my son and I have compiled a list of the U.S. Carreras from 74 & 75.
Recently, we reached out to PCA's 70's Carreras registry representative and explained our efforts to date. As of now, we have info on 245 of 526 74 Coupes, 79 of 246 74 Targas, 65 of 395 75 Coupes, and 39 of 196 75 Targas. I am currently reviewing the classifieds in Panorama and am up through 7/82.
We're hoping our efforts can be utilized to see some of the history of our cars, develop a system of a registry where all the info can be housed, and at some point plan an event. We have been primarily focused on U.S. Carreras of 74/75. User Speedster911 is PCA's 70's Carrera's registry representative and he has explained that he is working with others so we can eventually have a registry of all 70s Carreras including U.S./ROW.
I am NOT retired, but I do have more time to put into this effort, so we thought it was time to let everyone know what we are doing. I am looking forward to more time spent on my passion for old Porsches
