While we featured the Carrera 2.7 models by GT Spirit well over a year ago, I recently ran across behind the scenes photos of their production of the Salmon Metallic Carrera 2.7 model.

The GT Spirit Facebook page is filled with behind the scenes shots from producing a wide variety models, though mostly Porsche centric such as the Carrera RS 3.8, 911S Targa, 928 GTS, Carrera 2.7 RS, 964 Turbo 3.6 and Carrera 3.2 Club Sport among many others. They produced the Carrera 2.7 model in Platinum Metallic, Salmon Metallic and special one-off Green as a promotion. They also produced an orange Carrera 2.7 Targa.

Road Scholars is well known in the Porsche community for their best-of-the-best 911s and other Porsche models, as well as the monthly online Porsche magazine that they started publishing just a year ago. Their "Something Old, Something New" book review column keeps automotive book enthusiasts apprised of great books that should be on everyone's bookshelf. Randy Leffingwell published the following review of the new Carrera 2.7 book in the Road Scholars magazine's December 2015 issue:

The latest issue of Total 911 magazine #134 includes a five-page article on a Magenta 1974 Carrera 2.7 MFI coupe titled "The First Impact Bumper 911." The article gives a brief overview of the Carrera 2.7 model, a driving experience and delves into the long-time owner's relationship with his Carrera.

Further, the "2015 Total 911 Photo of the Year" winner was the Magenta Carrera featured in this issue and with the title "Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 at dusk," photographed by Rob Till.

Description from the seller:

I am selling my lime green Carrera 2.7 matching numbers. Lots of nice features. SSI heat exchangers, Avon CR6ZZ tires and 30.000€ engine rebuild at a German specialist in Germany. 911/83 engine.

Offered for €250,000 (approx. $266,000 USD)

Description from the auction company:

This Carrera 2.7 Coupe offered here is a model from the Carrera Coupe series with the legendary engine from the Carrera RS, 2.7 l cubic capacity and mechanic fuel injection (MFI), type 911/83, of which only 1534 units were built between 1974 and 1976. That means that over a period of three years less units were made than of the 2.7 Carrera RS in 1973 alone. Accordingly, the 2.7 Carrera as successor of the Carrera RS is a desired collectible and is in no way inferior to the latter's driving characteristics, despite its slightly higher weight.

The model offered here is particularly captivating for its untouched original condition. The Porsche is without any welding jobs and partly still in its first finish. The Carrera was delivered without rear spoiler, the car comes with the original hood in first finish. According to the owner, engine and gearbox have matching numbers. To his knowledge, the vehicle is accident-free and is, from carpets, instruments, rooftop to seats, in an unrestored original condition. The mileage has not been documented, however, it is plausible considering the car's condition. Comprehensive documentation including handbook with German manual, Italian birth certificate, original advertising brochures and various invoice are at hand. The Carrera also comes with the original toolbag, jack, tire pressure filling cylinder and the original collapsible spare tire.

Auction company estimate €240,000 – €260,000 (approx. $260,000 – $280,000 USD)

One of my favorite magazines to arrive each month, Total 911, published some additional photos from their "Porsche 2.4S V 2.7 Carrera" article from issue 132.

Excellent color combination of class Grand-Prix White over a contrasting red interior. It is rare to see mid-1970s 911s with original door panels that no prior owner cut to install speaker panels. All the engine components are there, including the often missing warm-up air regulator. It wouldn't take much work to clean up all the details on this Carrera 2.7 MFI and have it close to how it left the factory.
