I'd say that, all other factors being equal, a '75 911 will fetch significantly more money than a '76 in California, just because of the smog factor. No doubt.
As a constant shopper in California, I skip over ads for 76-77 cars, and always look at 74-75 listings. To me, I'd pay 30%+ more for a no-smog 75 coupe than I would a '76.
Instead of dealing with California smog on a 76-77, I'd just get a 78-83 SC for not a whole lot more money.
Smog rules do affect decision-making, and therefore market pricing...in California.
