you missed the point!
I was referring to the gap in price for 2 identical year carcasses bearing different ID's and equipment not the SIZE of the gap.
I have seen at every turn you putting down the 74-75 Carrera's as no more than another plain 911, and thats fine, its your opinion, very well stated.
However the markets opinion rules. I remember not long ago you thought no one would pay that kind of money($25K) for these cars (maybe 2-3years ago?)
So how did these cars do since??
well plain 74-75 911's barely get above $10K with some exceptions to this day, while the Carrera has made leaps and bounds, at the Ventura show there was one for $55K I heard it sold.
there was a nicer one inside, anyone remember the awesome orange Targa with original factory RS flares? AND that was a new one on me (apparently some got the RS flares) I doubt very much that car would be less than $75K( an exception of course because it was show condition)
I brokered one and it got bid up to $39K(reserve wasnt met) 2 owner orig paint customer wanted $45K for.
I have seen them between $25K to 35K on average with some asking as high as $57K (that 75 in the OC)
here's recent data(today) this is a nice 75 here:

what strikes me is that by now 35 year old 911's most have all been worked on and have had performance upgrades. one 75 Carrera I saw, the 2.7 was reworked to the tune of $20K with MFI and all, asking price $45K a bargain if you ask me, the car is perfect and has major upgrades without taking any originality away.
they were produced in small numbers and it was a matter of time....
