US Carreras (74-77) - Why So Much?
I'm a little confused as to why I'm seeing US Carreras ('74-'77) that are priced in the $50k range? I might understand if they're, for example, a European '74 Carrera that has the 2.7 MFI motor of the world famous '73 2.7 RS Carreras. But in US trim, they're merely a mid '70s 911S with fender flares, a ducktail, and a decal. Correct?
Is it the rarity? The collectability? I just don't get it...what am I missing?
(I admit, I could just be bitter because, not 10 years ago, I could have bought one for $10k. I didn't because it had rust in the front trunk and the seats were a little worn. Otherwise it was beautiful and ran well. If I'd known they'd be worth $50k now I'd have purchased it and easily paid for the fixes!)
Would love to hear y'alls thoughts.
