My Carrera is in nice shape but not pristine. It has about 140k on the clock, original leather (in amazing shape), original 15in fuchs and an original 75 Carrera tail (no duck). It is missing some of the interior bits, but as was said they are replaceable. It’s a original CA car with some history from Vasek Polak, which is cool.

What I ‘m hearing is that it would not only be a shame to break up a # matching US Carrera, it also might be an unwise choice in terms of value…. But is a 140k US Carrera ever going to be worth more than $50k? if so I’ll sell it for 45 right now ☺

I guess I just have to weigh that with enjoying the car the way I want too.
I love working on cars, so not modifying is difficult for me not to do. I do all the work, except machining, myself so that saves on cost.

It also sounds like if I do an engine swap (except 3.0), I should do the tranny also which affects the cost. I don’t think it would be worth it for a 3.0.

Pic attached and thanks for the welcome!
