Posted 12/24/2013: This Grand-Prix White Carrera has an excellent presence in a black & white color combination that extends to all aspects of the 911.
The interior was completely restored at some point and looks great with tweed seat inlays. A few changes from original include what appears to be a later offset Sport 3-spoke steering wheel instead of original fat grip Sport wheel used in 1974 into 1975 model year. The original midnight blue carpet has been replaced with black. The dash looks great without any of the usual cracks near the grill. The front trunk carpet has been replaced with North American spec side carpet without the aluminum chassis tag hole, though this can easily be cut out.
Seller mentions ducktail, but whaletail is currently fitted along with "PORSCHE" script along rear tail which wasn't available as an option after the 1973 model year. Correct early style metal engine grill. The early black trim optioned Carreras still came with chrome mirrors and headlight trim rings with a switchover to black mirrors occurring sometime during the 1974 model year. 55,298 km (approx. 34k miles) currently shown on the odometer, though the 5-digit odometers rollover at 100,000 km (approx. 62k miles) so mileage can only be verified via long paper trails. Engine missing several decals and has extra incorrect coil strap decal. Painted fan blade and housing looks out of place.
