[NWEXCOP]

Looking for some help as to value of car I am buying (I hope)

original orange paint.
Very good condition.

If you can help, please contact me via private message.

US or Row? Makes a huge difference if it's got an MfI engine in the back.

US car, sold by Max Dial Porsche, Los Angeles.
When I wrote original paint, I wanted to indicate that the paint was applied by the factory,
not painted the same color, for clarification.

Nice.

Even a few years back, car like that is already worth $50K-$75K. Now, I say it can push $100K in the right venue.

I agree in that color with that mileage with original paint $100k is pretty comfortable. Could push more at the right venue

How about an update? Did you buy it?

What makes a '74 Carrera more valuable than a standard '74 if both have the same 2.7 in the US?

[dwelle]

flares and a tail, but mostly production #'s...

[dwelle]

especially the early '74's which came with RS flares and a ducktail...

Because they look incredible. 25 more horsepower than the base model.

Look at it in early car terms. The 74 normal is a T. The US Carrera is an E. The Row Carrera is S spec.

Good perspective. Where would you put an ‘74 911S? Somewhere between a T and an E?

You know how a bunch of 70-72 Ts got S deco and trim packages? That's a 74 S.

I would say that’s good enough I was just thinking that they have the same increased horsepower as the US Carrera so I was thinking a stripper E but then the flares threw me off lol

i nearly bought a 74 in 2000 when i ultimately acquired my 78SC. It was the orange color like the one above and had what i believe was not the original tail. it was one of the larger turbo type tails and I ultimately went with the SC cause I was not fully aware of the uniqueness of the car and knew just enough to be leery of the 2.7 motor. don't recall if it was MFI of a CIS. What was it likely to have been? and was the 74 equipped with a duck?

somewhere around $15 cause that's what the SC ended up costing me and was my budget at the time.

Toby, if it was a US car, it was CIS.

No MFI after '73 on any US-bound Porsches.

Well in that case what’s the difference between a 74/75 euro carrera and an SC? What’s the difference between an early S and an E or a T? For the record SCs look great but don’t typically say carrera on the sides, don’t typically have a tail are often times boring colors, don’t have small bumper guards, periscope headlamp washers, small flag mirrors, etc.
