David ( I am assuming this is your name),
Given what you are telling us about your interests and motivations, I don't undstand why you don't get yourself a '73 E, do the same MFI RS spec engine treatment and call it done. That gets you closer to the looks of the RS, which you have admitted is more to your liking. The subtle underpinnings like the brakes and rear control arms are all things easily changed if you really think it will make a difference to the driving experience. It won't have flares or a whale tail, which you are saying don't interest you.
I guarantee that in the end game, the '73 E will have at least equal value to a '74 or '75 Carrera even though it's not a "genuine Carrera" as you claim. And for the record, I personally don't buy that claim. It was a trim level for the US market. Albeit is had some things that the real Carrera (which is a Carrera RS in my book) got, but it's still a trim level, nonetheless.
