Orange '74 Carrera in Switzerland

Overall this orange 1974 Carrera MFI 2.7 with a supposed 59k kilometers looks quite nice. However there are a number of things that stand out as not being correct fora Carrera. First is the artistic license with gray Carrera door script, which was only offered in black and gold for 1974, and "Carrera RS" decal on the ducktail.  Both should be fixes assuming they weren't painted on. Most noticeable, and more costly to fix, is the mirror is mounted way too far back on the driver's side, and should also be chrome instead of black for 1974. There are a few other minor details that could be fairly easily corrected.

Otherwise the car presents fairly well and clearly someone put a significant amount of effort into this car.  The unique blue-black interior from the early Carreras appears to be in very good shape. Bilstein shocks all the way around. The restorer attempted to get details correct that are often overlooked (black paint on chassis stamp as well as behind chassis tag). These mid-70s Carreras really look great in period colors such as the orange presented here.
