914agogo,

You are correct every time these come up in discussion I get lured in. I agree that market drives value.

I also know that if you look at these cars two things drive their value. Limited production and the tenuous relationship to the '73 Carrera. That's fine. Having been a long time owner of two '74 911's I know the good and the bad. My point stems from the fact that when it comes to Porsche performance there are better places to invest your $40K plus dollars and still have limited production numbers on your side. This is just my opinion and if you take this as putting down the car so be it. I think if you read all of my prior posts I love all Porsches and certainly aren't "putting them down". When I originally started responding to these type threads it was because there were people new to Porsches posting who did not understand that the '74 and '75 US Carreras were NOT the same as either the euro version or the preceeding '73 Carrera. As long as people know what they are looking at that's fine with me.

You do have me a little confused though. I would assume that the only way to determine the true values these cars are asking would be to base those values on original examples. When performance ugrades as significant as converting to MFI are part of the equation are you really paying for a '74 -'75 Carrera? Or for the car plus the mods........Seems to confuse the issue....

On a final note, I have purchased a car from Tech' before and if he is brokering the car it is everything he says it is and probably more....Good luck!!
