Another Grand-Prix White Carrera is available, this time one of the rare 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI Sondermodells, chassis #911 660 9084. Door panels and floor mats were replaced at some point, otherwise interior looks pretty original. This Carrera has had a complete repaint in white. Matching engine.

Description from the seller:

1976 was the very last year that only 113 cars received the well known 2.7RS engine 911/83. In conjunction with the new zinc coated chassis it makes this 911 model highly desirable. The car was delivered new in Germany, It has the old German title (5 owners) and a new Swiss title with the current owner. The car has been fully rebuilt in every aspect. Most of the interior seems original with the rare blue/black Shetland cloth seat inserts. It runs and drive simply excellent, a joy to drive and ideal for long trips. But it still has the bite of the true 2.7RS !

Offered for €150,000 (approx. $203k).

Another '75 Carrera repainted in Grand-Prix White (from original yellow) and equipped with a roll cage and racing seats is available in Germany.

'75 Track Weapon

Update 10/25/2013: What a different a month makes.  This '75 Carrera is now on offer for €104,000 EUR (approx. $144k USD) by a French dealer.

Posted 9/27/2013: This Grand-Prix White 1975 Carrera was just recently imported into the US from Japan where it spent the majority of its life. It has been heavily modified for track use including roll cage, strut tower supports, RS door panels, reproduction ducktail, 73 RS style red decals and wheel finish, etc. Entire chassis was repainted at least once. Certainly not for the purist as even converting back will require significant investment to remove cage, source interior including recovering dash, tires and Fuchs, glass, and correcting details will take considerable funds even if just left in current Grand-Prix White color. However, this is quite fairly priced for someone who wants to just enjoy and use a 911 that originally came with a legendary RS-spec 911/83 MFI engine, supposedly numbers matching and original, might take a peek.

RSR-look '76 Carrera 2.7 MFI

Updated 9/19/2013: Price reduced to a more realistic €184,000 (approx. $249k USD).

Posted 9/13/2013: 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI #9030 is being offered for sale by a private party in Germany. First registered August 1976 this Carrera was distributed via Glöckler in Frankfurt, Germany as a special order model (aka "sondermodell"). Painted in its original Continental Orange color, which looks good with chrome trim, however likely converted to RSR front and rear flares at some point in its life. Paint in the front boot looks original but has had at least one exterior repaint. Includes books, pouch, and some documentation.

Description from the seller:

Dieses Porsche 911 Carrera 2,7 RS befindet sich in einem einmaligen Sammlerzustand MATCHING NUMBERS!! Es verließ Zuffenhausen als eine Sonderserie mit dem 2,7 Carrera RS Motor und befindet sich heute noch in seinem einmaligen Neuwagenzustand dazu absolut unfallfrei, H-Zulassung alle Dokumente Historie sind vorhanden, ZF 40% Sperrdifferenzial, Continentalorange, RSR Bremsen M491…. Das dürfte der beste dieser seltensten Sonderserie 2,7 Carrera RS weltweit sein!!!!

Racing seats have replaced the original black leatherette with tweed inlays. Only official options were manual antenna & speakers (M440) and 5-speed (M481). However, the '76 Carrera 2.7 MFI sondermodell came standard with a number of sporty options including the 210hp 911/83 RS-spec engine, Bilstein shock absorbers, limited slip diff, among other options. Ducktail fitted instead of plain decklid or whaletail, though tail options never appear on the '76 Carrera 2.7 MFI sondermodell options list even if delivered new from the factory.  Engine appears to be very original with all the right details.  RSR style wheels not original. Missing driver side flag mirror but this would be easy to add. Price seems optimistic.

Featured in 911 Carrera 2.7: Im Toten Winkel article from unknown German magazine. Appeared without ducktail, dual driver and passenger mirrors, RSR look, and Porsche side script.

Offered for €254,000 (approx. $337k USD).



Rare Oak Green '76 Carrera

This Oak Green '76 Carrera #911 660 9076 is one of the exceptionally rare -- only 113 built -- mechanically fuel injected Carrera 2.7 special models produced for 1976. These were non-production Carrera that were ordered from the factory as a "sondermodell" which included as standard LSD, Bilstein shocks, Sport steering wheel, flares, and the all important 911/83 210hp RS-spec engine.

Oak Green is a rare color for mid-1970s 911s with only six '76 Carrera MFI 2.7 originally painted this color. According to COA data #9076 came with a driver side manual antenna when new, but now appears with an automatic antenna without a radio. Also originally equipped with black headliner (replaced with white at some point) and tinted glass from the factory (windshield replaced). Adding to the value of this Carrera is the original owner's manual with service stampings and supposedly has full service documentation.

Buyers should note that the engine was rebuilt by Andial to a 2.9-liter twin plug engine. Additionally some flourishes were added by later owners which weren't originally delivered from the factory including ducktail, Carrera side script, Sport seats, coco mats, later style replacement tinted windshield, earlier '74-'75 and thick grip Sport steering wheel. Interior was redone at some point, though still looking pretty rough, since door pockets are carpeted ('76 Carrera MFI sondermodell didn't have carpeted pockets), incorrect leatherette material was used for seat inlays front and rear (likely swapped from another 911), Sport seats swapped in, headliner is now white, and speaker grill appears to be a later replacement cover. As this Carrera came with the black trim from the factory this is missing the painted headlight trim rings. The rare original midnight blue extra rough and lightweight carpet remains as well as the original orange tags on the seat belts.

Offered for $185,000 by dealer.
