Over the last several years it has been rarer that nice Carrera 2.7 MFI come to market. Currently, a quite original Orange 1975 Carrera 2.7 MFI chassis 911 560 0479 has been attracting interest on Bring A Trailer. Nothing major has been altered, though there are a number of smaller details that can be easily corrected by a discerning owner wanted as original of a car as possible. As always, pouring over the chapters in the epic Carrera 2.7 book will be critical in this endeavor.

This Porsche 911 Carrera coupe is one of 518 European-market examples produced for the 1975 model year, and was reportedly sold new in Switzerland before being imported to California in 1976. The car is finished in orange over dark blue leatherette, and power is provided by a numbers-matching 2.7L flat-six with mechanical fuel injection. Additional equipment consists of a five-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential, French-style headlight lenses, black Carrera side scripts, a rear spoiler, and 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels. A refurbishment following the seller’s acquisition in 2012 included an exterior repaint as well as an engine rebuild, while the fuel injection pump was overhauled in 2020. This MFI Carrera is offered with a tool kit, an air compressor, custom luggage, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean California title in the seller’s business name.

Originally finished in Orange (E7), the body was repainted by Autobahn Autobody of Costa Mesa, California in 2012. Exterior equipment includes fog lights, black Carrera graphics on the lower sides, and front and rear spoilers. The car came optioned from the factory without a sunroof.

Staggered-width 15″ Fuchs wheels feature exposed alloy lips and spokes with black-painted insets, and wear Pirelli P6000 tires measuring 196/65 up front and 215/60 out back. Bilstein shocks are fitted at all four corners, and braking is managed by four-wheel ventilated discs.

The cockpit is upholstered in Midnight leatherette with matching carpets, two-tone Coco floor mats, and a black headliner. Amenities include power windows, tinted glass, and a two-piece Hartmann luggage set stowed above the fold-down rear seats. The car is not equipped with a radio.

A three-spoke steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 7,200-rpm redline flanked by a 300-km/h speedometer, a clock, and a pair of combination gauges. Approximately 81k kilometers (~50k miles) are shown on the five-digit odometer, 2k of which were added by the seller over the past nine years.

The 2.7-liter Type 911/83 flat-six features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and was factory-rated at 210 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 188 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm when new. The engine was overhauled by German Car Repair of Costa Mesa, California in June 2012, which included sending its magnesium case to Ollie’s Engineering in Lake Havasu, Arizona for machine work as well as installation of replacement bearings, timing components, and gaskets. The fuel injection pump was refurbished in March 2020 by Pacific Fuel Injection Inc. of San Francisco, California.

Engine number *6650647* corresponds to that listed on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. A Type 911/83 stamping is pictured in the gallery below. Turbo-style valve covers have been fitted along with pressure-fed timing chain tensioners.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle equipped with a limited-slip differential. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.

The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity lists the original colors, optional equipment, and drivetrain serial numbers.

The car was given a Wash & Shine Class Champion award at a regional 2017 PCA White Glove Concours. A factory tool roll is included in the sale, as are an air compressor, owner’s manuals, a pair of blue California license plates, service records, and manufacturer’s literature.
