Porsche 911 Carrera

Porsche 911 Carrera

Coupé, 1974

Highlights

  • Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
  • Iconic color combination brown/gold
  • Matching Numbers & Colors

An air-cooled Porsche from the sixties and seventies is always a coveted car and the epitome of the German sports car. But let's be honest, many a time myth has overtaken reality. A 912 with 90 hp or an early 911 T with a whopping 110 hp is more of a Porschele than a Porsche. Nice cars that can also be fun, but are not in line with the big 911s in terms of performance and spirituality, which heroes like Steve McQueen or Björn Waldegård helped to achieve iconic status.
The real Porsche 911 classics are the S, RS and the Carrera. However, the RS should be treated with great caution, because of the 1,580 units built, around 2,500 still exist. Anyone who then spends around € 600,000 for such an RS 2.7 must also live with the latent concern that he might not have been taken in by a forgery.

The vehicle in detail

Then a Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 like this one, which is closely related to the RS 2.7 and also has the narrow body, but costs only a fifth. Its engine is based on the same aggregate and unfolds all the magic of the legend. The engine is extremely revving, revs higher than a Jaguar E, sounds wonderfully hoarse after racing and thirsts for asphalt. The starter alone has 1.5 hp. If you step on the gas while idling, the rev counter snaps to 4,000/5000 rpm in a fraction of a second. No question, the car wants to run, not stand around. The Carrera 2.7 is like a defused racing car – which it actually is. Its 175 hp are enough for the 1,100 kg car to reach 230 km/h. The attraction is not in the top speed, but in accelerating out of country road curves. It's a completely different drive. His speed is so pure, unfiltered, not this synthetic-looking acceleration of modern cars. Here, power and sound are made of solid metal, mechanics and petrol, not electricity and digital computers. This is where the pure distillate of an original Porsche comes into play. Everything real, no sound module, no little helpers, no tricks. Harpo once sang "You feel like Steve McQueen.When you're driving in your car." Why do I have to think about this now? Because it is! The Porsche Carrera 2.7 not only accelerates from 0 to 100 in 7.6 seconds, it also increases your heart rate, your blood pressure and your zest for life. He turns gasoline into hormones of perfect happiness.

This specimen is also visually stunning. It was also built by Porsche in this wonderfully iconic seventies color combination. The Porsche certificate confirms it: in the color bitter chocolate with a leatherette interior in cinnamon. The 14 (!) optional extras include the gold alloy wheels, gold Carrera lettering on the doors, ducktail spoilers, tinted glass, sunroof, fog lights, large battery, etc.
Since an air-cooled Porsche classic is always referred to as an investment, it is important that the car is as true to the original as possible. Here the engine number, transmission number, color code, equipment code and the essential special equipment still match the aggregates and equipment numbers installed in the factory in 1974, even after 49 years. Bingo, full matching numbers! So the car not only looks very cool, but was laid on the keel so cool. Oh how beautiful. Everything fits, because the original owner's manual with integrated checkbook is also available. The total mileage, as far as is known, is 94,394 miles (151,030 km) plus 341 km on the retrofitted km odometer, which really makes sense in speed trap-mined Germany. The original mileage speedometer is included. The engine was overhauled 3,300 km ago. The detailed invoice is available. The underbody is in excellent original condition, nothing is worn out, no folds are creased, no visible repair welds. The underbody protection is probably still the original. The car is essentially very, very good and ready to go, has MOT and historic registration.
If you're one of the lucky ones who can afford this 911 Carrera 2.7, then do it. You can't get more joie de vivre for your money. And if you ever want to sell it again, I'll happily put it back on sale at any time. Incidentally, it wouldn't be the first Porsche for which you could get more than you paid for. And if you are an entrepreneur, take him into the company, the VAT can be shown.
