The problem I have always had with these cars is that IMHO their allure is the mistaken relationship they have to the '73 Carrera RS. These cars just don't have the pedigree to warrant the premium people want to apply to them.

From a performance perspective these are basically a '75 911S which in my mind means a '72 or '73 S is still the more desirable car in terms of performance and ownership. Now the Euro-spec Carrera with the MFI motor is a totally different story.

Additionally, when you contemplate what $40K plus dollars will buy you in a Porsche these days I don't see them as any kind of bargain.....
