Mexico Blue Stunner

Update March 5, 2013: This is now being offered through a dealer for 130,000 (approx. $182k USD)

Posted December 18, 2012: This stunning 1974 Carrera is in one of the most beautiful period colors Porsche used in the mid-1970s. While seller doesn't state original options it is currently well equipped with Recaro Sports seats,  7" and 8" Fuchs, ducktail (not original for German delivered cars), full leather interior. The black Fuchs have the correct clear anodized wheel center cap finish for 1974. Buyers should note that this may have a non-original, but correct 911/83 type, engine with original engine number stamped on a removable plate.

A few other minor things could be done by a buyer who wanted to correct small details. For instance, the missing Carrera badge on the tail and front rubber spoiler wasn't introduced until the whale tail. In all, a potentially very nice Carrera worth a look by anyone searching for a MFI Carrera 2.7.

Description from seller:

Carrera 2.7 von November 1973 (1.KFZ-Brief ist vorhanden) aus Zahnarzt-Erstbesitz, Fahrzeug war komplett zerlegt und wurde von der rostfreien Rohkarosse unter Verwendung von Neuteilen perfekt aufgebaut, das Fahrzeug hat die seltene Voll-Lederausstattung ab Werk und ist im Innenraum nicht restauriert aber neuwertig erhalten, viele Extras ab Werk Sportsitze, getönte Scheiben, Sperre, Scheinwerferwaschanlage, 7+8 x 15 Felgen, Heckbürzel nachgerüstet da für den dt. Markt damals nicht erlaubt, die Mexicoblaue Lackierung ist von erstklassischer Qualität und rundherum weniger als 100 my stark. Da die Restaurierung ca 20 Jahre zurückliegt wirkt der Wagen wie ein unrestauriertes Exemplar im Jahreswagenzustand, selbstverständlich ohne Kratzer oder Beulen. Es gibt ein Handbuch aber kein Scheckheft. Ich glaube nicht, dass es einen besseren oder authentischeren Carrera 2.7 gibt.

Rough English translation of description:

Carrera 2.7 from November 1973 (1.KFZ-letter is available) was a dentist. One owner car was completely disassembled and rebuilt by the stainless body shell using new parts. The vehicle has a rare full-leather interior from the factory and is in the interior not restored but mint get a lot of extras from the factory sport seats, tinted windows, lock, headlamp washers, 7 +8 x 15 rims. Ducktail retrofitted because the German market is not allowed in those days. The Mexico blue finish is of excellent quality. Since the restoration about 20 years ago the car acts like an unrestored copy with no scratches or dents, of course. There is a manual but no checkbook. I do not think there is a better or more authentic Carrera 2.7.

  1. That looks like the car that was at Edmund Harris in the UK. He was asking (about 2 years ago) about 70,000 GBP, maybe less.
