Originally Italian delivered, the sophisticated color combination on Carrera chassis number 911 460 0500 looks sharp. A few small originality details, but almost all are cosmetic and easy to correct.</div><div><br /></div><div>Description <a href="https://roadscholars.com/current-offerings/1974-porsche-carrera-mfi/">from Road Scholars, the seller</a>:</div><br /><i>In the wake of the success of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, Porsche produced a limited run of 911s on its new G-series platform with the same 911/83 motor with Bosch mechanical fuel injection that had performed so well in competition. With the introduction of the G-series models, Porsche discontinued the T, E, and S model designations and the Carrera now replaced the S as their top-of-the-line performance offering. Along with the potent 2.7, the Carrera model received widened front and rear fenders that accommodated seven and eight-inch-wide forged Fuchs wheels and wider tires, and the scripted Carrera logo stretching between the front and rear wheel wells. The factory incorporated the same alloy front calipers as the RS 2.7, and introduced alloy rear trailing arms and hard mounting points for the factory-installed roll bar.<br /><br />Incredibly, the new Carrera managed to weigh the same as the previous RS Touring models, even with all of the updated equipment. Increasingly stringent smog and fuel efficiency restrictions in the U.S. meant that the new Carrera was not eligible to be imported to the U.S. Porsche’s total production for the “Euro” Carrera MFI totaled just only 1,026 units for 1974 and only for the RoW markets, making them a rare and desirable commodity, especially to those who could not legally acquire one.<br /><br />This Carrera was delivered new to its first owner in Verona, Italy in October 1973, and was the 490th example produced. Those who purchased new cars in Italy were subjected to extremely high taxes and were often fitted with few options as a result. It was finished in the uncommon color scheme of Black non-metallic over Brown-beige leather and ordered with a factory sunroof, loudspeaker with antenna, and tinted glass.<br /><br />In 1986, Angelo Martinoli of Milan became its second owner, and as the president of the Porsche Club Italia, the Carrera was in good hands. It later made its way into the hands of a Dutch enthusiast, who also took exceptional care to maintain the Carrera before it made its way to the U.S.<br /><br />In 2014, a great friend of ours then purchased the Carrera. Once in his possession, he began going through the car to ensure it was in perfect running order. The complete MFI system was rebuilt, as were the transmission and throttle bodies, and the chain tensioners and heater valves and hoses were replaced. After all of the mechanical work was sorted, he adding subtle personal touches, such as the black-and-gold script and a set of seven and eight-inch Fuchs that were refinished by Porsche wheel specialist Harvey Weidman of Weidman’s wheels. The interior received extensive attention to bring it up to the owner’s high standards. The headliner was removed, stripped, and reupholstered, and all the carpeting replaced. The door panels were removed and reupholstered, and new door pockets were made. The original books, tools, and Certificate of Authenticity are included with the car.<br /><br />Where the Euro Carreras really shine is when one is behind the wheel. The U.S. specification models were forced to incorporate K-jetronic electronic injection systems that robbed throttle response and diminished power to 167 SAE gross horsepower, while the Euro Carrera received 210 Din net horsepower and significantly sharper throttle response.<br /><br />This Euro Carrera, chassis 0500, is an exceptional highly original, unrestored example that has been fastidiously cared for by each of its previous owners. Thanks to the years of care and upkeep, it is fully vetted and in need of nothing. With their close ties to the venerable Carrera RS 2.7, they offer one of the best driving experiences one can have behind the wheel of a 911 and one that recalls Porsche’s close ties to their motorsport history.</i><br /><br />Offered for <a href="https://roadscholars.com/current-offerings/1974-porsche-carrera-mfi/">$250,000 USD (approx, 215,000 EUR)</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglICEqs5a_qlYUl0BpjKyiICJkUxKzwfIdyiOPIo50UPWVbHlDA0nlcLYecoaNBqWSh0s3rT76jYnqYjVKZEGqHLyVpr5nZMW1qNejZ2kBtJbpr3CAY72GLN5F3_qpkGiSoJ0EreuifVF-/s2000/DSC_1170.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="2000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglICEqs5a_qlYUl0BpjKyiICJkUxKzwfIdyiOPIo50UPWVbHlDA0nlcLYecoaNBqWSh0s3rT76jYnqYjVKZEGqHLyVpr5nZMW1qNejZ2kBtJbpr3CAY72GLN5F3_qpkGiSoJ0EreuifVF-/w640-h426/DSC_1170.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3ZxQIrMJcrzrembxypeZY6nRURRdtepErQCy4_omlrrYaRnL1YPDlV0ae7Nb_UwcSUcVxmb0LUav41hVL6nQc8Lj-T9MEneMlHodgqmv5jILUFhl9_oF5f_DgGlPsK3lacVN-5WVoTy5/s2000/DSC_1207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="2000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3ZxQIrMJcrzrembxypeZY6nRURRdtepErQCy4_omlrrYaRnL1YPDlV0ae7Nb_UwcSUcVxmb0LUav41hVL6nQc8Lj-T9MEneMlHodgqmv5jILUFhl9_oF5f_DgGlPsK3lacVN-5WVoTy5/w640-h426/DSC_1207.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFSVtVTEiXLODjPAAIr9kQVTduQQE4b9HJ3p0MWZw7jUhbScKzJntyimQvdMCFOOPbAQbzHUpcmoZnFsnK7OuiRT7z7OlHCOeZeauvdwppjDXEfbPa72XQ1dQgstabkg1LpgHM8CE_kov/s2000/DSC_1230.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="2000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFSVtVTEiXLODjPAAIr9kQVTduQQE4b9HJ3p0MWZw7jUhbScKzJntyimQvdMCFOOPbAQbzHUpcmoZnFsnK7OuiRT7z7OlHCOeZeauvdwppjDXEfbPa72XQ1dQgstabkg1LpgHM8CE_kov/w640-h426/DSC_1230.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggI4gpVaR70j8Tv2rLe6u_LjBdDsaBQ0zo_YPSb_YeyTxHgiVZs0n6bXWme17G4aBckEjjB7Iz5nZZAX1rUswu1v91721KsqohzKFL_8If8PExJGxQoHS5PLkoJnNKwF1tumlZ-HeLveR_/s2000/DSC_1252.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="2000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggI4gpVaR70j8Tv2rLe6u_LjBdDsaBQ0zo_YPSb_YeyTxHgiVZs0n6bXWme17G4aBckEjjB7Iz5nZZAX1rUswu1v91721KsqohzKFL_8If8PExJGxQoHS5PLkoJnNKwF1tumlZ-HeLveR_/w640-h426/DSC_1252.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIQQttsaXTA9Bv1u26U4426cVx6Oe0ILgquklWOhMlNvLlJt8vhzSyx4ZdZCDxSblmVMGpi8A27QKpyrdPLU-KZ5K2P380g7nKSx6jjesLAVayqU8d7PFFC1gACAjlMSfjZwnHfF86enjC/s2048/IMG_6396.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIQQttsaXTA9Bv1u26U4426cVx6Oe0ILgquklWOhMlNvLlJt8vhzSyx4ZdZCDxSblmVMGpi8A27QKpyrdPLU-KZ5K2P380g7nKSx6jjesLAVayqU8d7PFFC1gACAjlMSfjZwnHfF86enjC/w640-h480/IMG_6396.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdHphiZScTf9S01XDQr76y2JqqHcnmdozq95z2imgpAgD6WNSaAmusOJljIXKBbtSUAw2ABQ2lzYegGWFL015L19ENVgdzyISjSgpETR8vg49EeUu4bWJ4mEKDifcQM0p-Pq7wJ7k6O93x/s2000/DSC_1174.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="2000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdHphiZScTf9S01XDQr76y2JqqHcnmdozq95z2imgpAgD6WNSaAmusOJljIXKBbtSUAw2ABQ2lzYegGWFL015L19ENVgdzyISjSgpETR8vg49EeUu4bWJ4mEKDifcQM0p-Pq7wJ7k6O93x/w640-h426/DSC_1174.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244379646918632402.post-53984251657960095482020-07-31T11:11:00.000-07:002020-07-31T11:11:35.883-07:00Gendarmerie Targa in October Auction<div>One of the rare narrow-bodied Carrera 2.7 MFI Gendarmerie police Targas is being offered for sale at Bonham's Zoute Sale in early October.

Episode four compares Porsche's impact bumper introduction in 1974 to Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy. For this episode, the producer mixes his two passions into a single theme that compares and contrasts how both shocked their respective fan base, while also being pivotal in setting a new course. Some of his thoughts include "just because the eyes of the people back then couldn't process the new look, didn't make it any less of a car". "[Porsche] knew they couldn't make another long hood pre-1973-style car. Too many laws had changed from emissions to crash standards. So they took the car they came up with for 1974 and made the best damn car they could. For 15 years the impact bumper lived in rarified air as a top-of-the-line sports car that wasn't made in Italy."<br />

Italian delivered Carrera 2.7 MFI in its original color of Orange (E7) available in the United States.<br />
<br />
Description <a href="http://canepa.com/photo-gallery/1975-porsche-9115648/" target="_blank">from the seller</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>This rare Carrera was delivered new in October of 1974 to JV Porsche Center in Verona, Italy.</i><br />
<i>9115600216 is one of the very few European Carrera 2.7 MFI coupes, with only 502 made in 1975.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Delivered with the iconic 1973 RS Carrera MFI 911/83 motor (6650279) it was painted in the spectacular and rare color, E7 Orange, and came with a black leatherette(14) interior with Shetland inserts. The cars sporting intent was reinforced by its no option configuration and a sunroof delete.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>9115600216 is fresh from a concours level, bare tub rotisserie restoration that was performed in Italy with a no expense spared budget. Carrozzeria Serattini restored the 911; mechanical work was completed by Rennsport; and the interior was done by Ferraresi. It was completed to 100% factory original specifications. The numbers matching engine and transmission were restored along with every mechanical system on the car.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The only liberty taken during the restoration was the addition of a whale tail decklid, which would have been an option in the day. The original, plain decklid comes with the car and has been fully restored.
</i><br />
<br />
Offered for <a href="http://canepa.com/photo-gallery/1975-porsche-9115648/" target="_blank">$395,000 (approx. 336,000 EUR)</a><br />

Right-hand drive 1975 Carrera 2.7 MFI Targa in Guards Red and chrome trim will be offered at the Silverstone "Porsche Sale" in May 2017.<br />
<br />
Description <a href="https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/porsche-911-2-7-carrera-targa" target="_blank">from auction company</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>Complex 'Homologation' regulations required that in order to ensure cars built to compete in 'production car' racing on the world stage were not 'one-off' specials, they had to be produced in sufficient quantity and to an agreed form and, in the case of the Porsche 911 Carrera, that was the lightweight, racing 'RS' specification. Customers wishing to purchase a Carrera RS for the road had to specify the 'Touring' package that cost an extra DM 2,500 and offered the greater comfort of the 911S' trimmed and upholstered interior. When those production targets had been met, the lightweight RS was discontinued but the Carrera name remained proudly on Porsche's top-of-the-range model, which in its new, series-production 911SC form mounted the 210bhp engine in a full-weight, fully trimmed body shell.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In 1975, if you wanted to order a Porsche 911 Targa, then the 210bhp Carrera version was the absolute 'top of the range'. A rare right-hand drive Carrera Targa - one of only six supplied to the UK - this car was first registered in February 1975 and delivered with a fairly comprehensive complement of factory options. Finished in classic Guards Red with black leather seats (inlays perforated), it came with headlamp washers; 15" Fuchs alloy wheels; driver's side outside mirror; rear wiper; front and rear spoilers; tinted windows; intermittent wiper control; chrome trim parts; Bilstein shock absorbers; and 'Carrera' lettering in black.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Previously owned by Porsche enthusiasts and Porsche Club GB members, this car has been cherished throughout its life and retains many important period details, as listed in the factory delivery specification. It has covered some 125,000 miles from new, which is fully documented and comes with an extensive service history and MoT records dating back to the early 1980s. The accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms matching engine and gearbox numbers.
The engine has been rebuilt and is nicely detailed. It benefits from a new stainless steel exhaust system, mated to an original Bischoff final silencer that has been ceramic coated for cosmetic durability. The intake system is all original; the throttle bodies carry the date stamping, and the MFI fuel pump is of the correct date and type (019) as originally delivered. We are advised that the original Type 915 gearbox is very good mechanically. The wheels are believed original and carry the correct date stamp '74', and they have been professionally refurbished in the correct, 1974-specification 'petal' finish and shod with a set of period-looking Avon CR6ZZ tyres.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The interior is remarkably well-preserved with the original vinyl dashboard and trim panels where they have always been and the special optional leather seats remain in wonderful condition, complimented by the original blue/black leatherette of the rear seats. The combination of Guards Red with chrome window trims and stainless steel roll-hoop is a rare find for this model year as, by 1975, most cars were delivered with black trim, making this combination particularly unusual.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The Carrera comes complete with its 1975 driver's manual and service directory booklet in the original documents folder. A complete tool kit with jack and period-correct air compressor is included in the sale. Accompanying paperwork consists of sundry restoration invoices, MoT to June 2017, a V5C Registration Certificate, and the aforementioned Porsche documentation.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This is one of the best examples of the 2.7 Litre Carrera Targa we have ever seen. These cars are very collectable and extremely rare, particularly in such splendid condition, and this exceptional 911 Carrera is ready to be enjoyed by a new custodian.
</i><br />

This 1974 Carrera 2.7 MFI will be offered at Bonham's Les Grandes Marques du Monde au Grand Palais in Paris on February 9, 2017.<br />
<br />
Description <a href="https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24103/preview_lot/5037313/?category=list&length=100&page=1" target="_blank">from the auction company</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>One of the most iconic sporting motor cars of all time, the legendary Porsche 911 RS resulted from the Zuffenhausen factory's realisation that the excess weight of its top-of-the-range 2.4-litre 911S production model restricted its development potential for racing. It was therefor decided to produced and homologate a special lightweight limited edition variant for Group 4 GT racing, a class that required a minimum of 500 built. Thus it was necessary to incorporate, as standard, specific performance enhancements forbidden as post-production modifications. The result was the legendary lightweight Carrera RS (RennSport).
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Boasting performance modifications including enlarged rear wheel arches to accommodate 7" wide wheel rims, and the first of the famous 'ducktail' spoilers, the RS was powered by the newly enlarged 2.7-litre engine that featured Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI) and produced 210bhp. These alterations resulted in the RS having a top speed of around 240km/h while ensuring that it remained stable and controllable right up to the limit.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The resulting demand for this fabulous car proved so great that the production run was progressively extended, eventually ending up at 1,590 units and allowing homologation in Group 3 for standard GT production cars. The majority of cars produced were to 'Lightweight' (competition) specification, the remainder being delivered as the Carrera RS Touring, complete with 911S-type interior trim and fittings (order number '472') which cost an extra DM 2,500. For 1974, the Carrera retained the 210bhp MFI engine but was only available with full equipment; the ducktail spoiler was an option, though not available in Germany.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Finished in Grand Prix White, this 1974-model 911 Carrera has belonged to the current owner since July 1985. According to the accompanying confirmation by Porsche Italia, the car was sold new in Italy in the province of Verona. Porsche Italia also confirms that it has matching chassis and engine numbers, and that the original exterior colour was Grand Prix White. The only notable deviation from the factory specification is the interior, which was originally trimmed throughout in black vinyl but has been changed to dark blue cloth for the front seats.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Importantly, the car was subjected to a comprehensive service in October 2015 by Orlando Redolfi of the official Centro Assistenza Porsche Pedrengo near Bergamo, Italy. The work included servicing the brake and clutch system; overhauling the fuel injection pump and injectors; a general service with new fluids; and new tyres front and rear. As a result, the car is described by the vendor as in generally good condition, and as such is certainly an attractive proposal for any Porsche enthusiast. Totalling almost €9,000, invoices relating to the 2015 service are on file, and the car also comes with an original owner's manual, Italian registration documents, and the aforementioned declaration from Porsche Italia.

Description <a href="http://www.tech9.ms/car-sales/porsche-911-27-mfi-carrera-targa?utm_source=eshot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CarsalesNOV16" target="_blank">from the seller</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>In 1975, if you wanted to order a Porsche 911 Targa, then the 210bhp Mechanical Injected Carrera version, sat at the pinnacle of the model range. Launched right in the middle of the oil crisis, the Carrera was a very expensive car. Just two years prior, a RHD 1973 model 911RS Lightweight (M471) ordered through Porsche Cars GB would have cost £5826. Just two years later, when new, this Carrera Targa would have cost the owner in the region of £10,397 plus options !</i><br />
<i>A RHD MFI Carrera, is a rare machine, especially to find in good condition, having endured the British weather for the past 40 years. We think this Targa version, with just 6 UK RHD H-Series examples ever supplied, is probably right up there as one of THE BEST RHD EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD. Having been cherished throughout its life, previously owned by enthusiasts and Porsche Club GB members, that’s a testament to this car that’s covered just 125.000 miles from new, fully documented with extensive service history and MOT records (back to early 1980’s). This particular example is one that ooses patina, history and sublime detail. Only a car that has been cherished throughout its life carries so many important period details, correctly detailed as denoted by its factory delivery specification. Confirmed by the Porsche CoA as being numbers matching (engine and gearbox), the engine has been rebuilt and detailed to perfection. It benefits from a new stainless steel exhaust system, mated to an original Bischoff final silencer that has been ceramic coated for cosmetic durability. The intake system is all original, the throttle bodies carry the date stamping and the MFI fuel pump is the correct date and type (019) as originally delivered.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The original numbers matching 915 gearbox is very good mechanically. The wheels are considered original and the correct ‘period’ date stamped 74. They have been refinished to the ’74 spec’ petalled finish to the highest standard, wrapped in a set of period looking Avon CR6ZZ tyres. The interior is in remarkable original condition, the original vinyl dash and trim panels remain, this car was optioned with Leather seats, the special leather used in period remains in remarkable condition and contrasts the original period Blue/Black leatherette of the rear seats. The combination of Guards Red, with the Chrome window trims and stainless steel roll-hoop is a rare find for this model year. Most cars delivered were optioned with Black trim, as its possible that in 1975, the Chrome was considered ‘dated’, but we think it looks just right, and not a combination that we have seen before for this model year. The vehicle includes the ’75 drivers manual, in its original document folder with service directory book. A complete toolkit with jack and correct period air compressor, complete the detail items included in the sale.</i><br />

<br />
<i>No need for a long introduction. By now, every Porsche enthusiast knows how rare and special these cars are!
This Carrera has been delivered new to Spain where it had only 3 owners as far as we could research. The car came back to Germany in 2008 and was subjected to a complete and professional nut and bolt restoration in Germany in 2011.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The restoration was executed to a very high standard and every component of the car has been restored. It is noteworthy, that the car was rust-free and the floors are un-welded and all original.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Finished in its original Grand prix white over black, this rare Carrera is 100% numbers matching and presents itself in flawless collector condition. An authentic ‘74 icon powered by the legendary 2.7l type 911/83 engine with mechanical fuel injection. These cars were never sold in North America when new, due to US emission requirements, but can now be imported easily.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>With less than 1000km on the restoration, this car is like new in every respect. A rare opportunity to acquire a legendary Porsche 911 and in light of the current exchange rate, even more interesting for the US based collector.
</i><br />

<br />
<i>Immediately after the legendary 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS finished production a series of Carreras were built for the rest-of-world markets that were equivalent to the 1973 RS Touring (M472) models. This rare and desirable Porsche was the G-series Carrera 2.7 MFI which was fitted with the 911/83 RS-spec mechanically fuel injected (MFI) engine that produced 210 bhp. The major difference between these Carreras and the Touring Carrera RS was that the MFI variation was built with the "G-series" impact bumper body and interior instead of the earlier long hood form. The weight of the Carrera 2.7 MFI was also 1075 kg, identical to that of the preceding Carrera RS Touring. All 1974 Carrera MFI cars initially either came with a ducktail or tail delete, while 1975 and later Carrera MFI either came with the whale tail or tail delete. (Late 1974 models built after April of 1974 were also sometimes fitted with the whale tail. All models sold new in Germany after 1974 were fitted with the whale tail as the duck tail no longer met German Road-Rule regulations.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What makes the early 911s, Carrera RS, and the 2.7-liter "euro" Carrera so interesting and thrilling to drive is the Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection (MFI) setup. The glorious sound and instantaneous throttle response has a remarkable feel compared to the computerized injection systems of the 70s and 80s. In the December 1974 issue of Motor magazine the Carrera 2.7 MFI was extensively tested and they measured a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Porsche built similar number of coupes to the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS with roughly 1,011 in 1974; 509 in 1975; and 113 of the German-only Sondermodell in 1976. A total production of 1,633 as compared to 1,590 1973 RS built. Additionally Porsche built 631 Targa versions of the Carrera 2.7 MFI between 1974 and 1976, including 20 in 1976 for the Belgium police.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>These cars were never imported by Porsche into North America. The strict US emissions laws required smog equipment that drastically impacted the performance of the 2.7-liter motor. The US version of the Carrera in 1974-1975 used the significantly less powerful CIS (K-Jetronic) based injection engines to meet the California and US emission standards.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI was the last street car Porsche ever produced with mechanical fuel injection. In fact there were only three MFI based cars produced by Porsche after 1976, all race cars. First were the ten turbocharged Porsche 934 ½ built for Group 4 and the 1977 IMSA Championship, alongside the various incarnations of the turbocharged Porsche 935 built for Group 5 and, later, the twenty 3.0-liter 911 SC/RS (954) rally cars built in 1984 to compete in Group B.

<i>1974 Porsche Carrera 2.7 MFI, Chassis No. 911.460.0945:
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Year 1974</i><br />
<i>Type Carrera 2.7 MFI
Chassis No. 911.460.0945</i><br />
<i>Engine No. 664.1317</i><br />
<i>Gearbox No. 349.125</i><br />
<i>Exterior Color Silver-Metallic (936-9-3 / Z2)</i><br />
<i>Interior Color Midnight Leather with Cloth Inserts (12)</i><br />
<i>Mileage 97.649 Kilometers / 60,675 Miles (Original From New)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This particular Carrera 2.7 MFI was sequentially the 934th of just 1011 examples built. It is an extremely late production example, the 91st to the last being built and it was completed under a special wish / special order in May of 1974. The original order was placed by Mitsuwa Motors, the official Porsche Distributor and main Service Center for Porsche in Japan. Delivery took place in June of 1974 and the car was road-registered later that month on Japanese plates "330 911." The original order requested an ROW (Rest of World Market, European Version with left-hand-drive steering.) The order further specified the exterior color of Silver-Metallic, Negative Carrera Graphics and the interior to be in all black including headliner with cloth insert Sports Seats, both left and right. Because it was built so late in the production run, this Carrera 2.7 MFI was delivered new with the whale tail rather than the previous year's less efficient duck tail.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A very long list of standard options was ordered and specifically requested that no sunroof be fitted. </i><i>The recorded options were as follows:</i><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Japanese Market Equipment and 300kph Speedometer)</i></li>
<li><i>Power Windows</i></li>
<li><i>Black Headliner</i></li>
<li><i>Power Side-View Mirror</i></li>
<li><i>Headlight washers</i></li>
<li><i>Impact Absorbing Bumpers (Front and Rear)</i></li>
<li><i>Airconditioning</i></li>
<li><i>Tinted Glass (All Windows)</i></li>
<li><i>Intermittent Wipers with Separate Control</i></li>
<li><i>Windscreen Washing Equipent</i></li>
<li><i>Koni Shock Absorbers instead of Boge</i></li>
<li><i>Upgraded Brakes and Calipers</i></li>
<li><i>Sport Seats with Cloth Inserts (Left and Right)</i></li>
<li><i>White Iodine Type Fog Lights Under Front Bumper</i></li>
<li><i>Manual Antenna and Noise Suppression Equipment</i></li>
<li><i>Blaupunkt Essen Multi-Band Radio and Dual Speakers</i></li>
<li><i>Dunlop Tires</i></li>
</ul>
<i>With seventeen individual options, this is by far one of the most lavishly equipped examples completed and sold new. It remained carefully preserved, conserved and cared for under single individual ownership for more than 40 years until being purchased by our company. This Carrera 2.7 MFI was purchased in a remarkably original and un-molested state, having received great care by her one and only owner. A single repaint was done many years ago and starting to show age as did the interior. The car was completely rust and accident free and matching numbers front to back, top to bottom. Upon arrival, this Porsche was carefully inspected and then completely disassembled and given a multi-year, no expense spared, complete and total restoration without consideration for time or money.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This vehicle has just completed this fully documented restoration and has covered just a few kilometers to assist in sorting and setting it up for any manner of enthusiastic show or road use. It is sold complete with the original manual and warranty card from Porsche Mitsuwa Motors and the original tool kit. All date coded, stamped and marked parts are original as delivered new with the vehicle.</i><br />

<i>The Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupé was introduced in 1974 on the new G-Series chassis that was built to appease ever stricter US regulations for crash worthiness. The floor pans were strengthened, lighting was improved and larger bumpers incorporated. With an impressive 210 bhp, 2,687 cc Type 911/83 air-cooled, horizontally opposed, six-cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, 0-60 was achieved in just over 5 seconds and gearing was good for 150mph through a 5-speed manual transmission. The suspension was fully independent with torsion bars, McPherson struts and anti-roll bars. The total weight was just over 1,075 kilograms, which made the Euro-spec 2.7 MFI a very fast car in its day. In fact, it was the fastest production 911 until the late 1980s. In total, 1,647 Euro-spec MFI Carrera coupes were built during this three-year run, along with 631 Targas, with total production figures not vastly outnumbering that of the original 1973 Carrera RS.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>There are currently 48 right-hand drive cars listed with the Carrera 2.7 MFI Registry. However, this sunroof-equipped model is believed to be 1 of just 21 Coupé examples produced for the UK market. A matching numbers Carrera MFI Coupé, it was sold new to its first, and only previous, owner on 13th November 1975 by Swinford Motors of Stourbridge. It has covered a total mileage of 55,500 miles from new and is presented in stunning order following a ground-up restoration carried out by respected marque specialists ‘RS 911' in Wales.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Silverstone Auctions had the pleasure of selling chassis number 9115600513 for its first owner in May 2015 and are delighted to re-offer this unique Porsche, having undergone quite the transformation. When we first inspected the vehicle, the body shell had never been welded, the car had never been restored or seen paint and the beautifully thin Ice Green special order finish had faded almost down to bare metal. The interior was complete and untouched from new. Journalists, restorers and enthusiasts all agreed that it was one of the most original examples ever seen on the open market.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Work began in earnest in June 2015 following the auction. The car was stripped of all components and the engine and gearbox sent to renowned Porsche engine builders 'Tech 9 Motorsport' in Liverpool. ‘RS 911' set about the bodywork and every effort was made to preserve as much of the original car as possible. Other than two new front wings and basic perishable items, the rest of the car was restored using existing components that were repaired or renovated. The sills and floor pans have never been touched.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The fully rebuilt engine and gearbox were reunited with the car at Tech 9 and it was fully balanced and tuned. The suspension, brakes, differential, and electrics were all rebuilt by ‘RS 911' and the original interior simply cleaned up, re-stitched and restored. The only non-original item in the cabin today is the headlining, which was too damaged to repair. The results of this restoration must be seen to be fully appreciated. The paintwork retains a superb shine and the shut lines are straight and true. The engine sounds superb and this 911 can now be returned to the road to relive its former glory. ‘RS 911' have done a fantastic job and it is the intention of the owner to reunite the car with its first owner prior to the sale and take him for a drive.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The history file for this Porsche is a joy to behold. From 1975 until 2008 the car was maintained exclusively by respected Porsche specialist Chris Best from 'Two-Plus-Two'. There are 6 service stamps in the original service book and many invoices for work carried out over the years. Complete with original tools, radio, windscreen transfers, wallet, service manuals and ownership paraphernalia, there are even letters between the current owner and the supplying dealer in 1975. A large number of bills and photographs document the complete restoration process.</i><br />

<br />
<i>We are excited to offer on behalf of one of our international clients this outstanding Porsche <a href="https://parabolicapress.com/products/porsche-carrera-2-7-book" target="_blank">Carrera 2.7 MFI</a> Coupe.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>No need for a long introduction. By now, every Porsche enthusiast knows how rare and special these cars are!
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Finished in classic Grandprix White over black this Carrera has been delivered new to Italy and spent most of its life there.
In 2010, the car found his way back to Germany and was licensed and registered as a historical vehicle (H-Zulassung) passing the most stringent German TuV inspections with no issues.
It was treated to a full engine rebuilt in 2014 at an official Porsche Center in Northern Germany with very few miles since.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Technically in flawless condition, this is a very original car that remains largely un-restored to this day. The body is 100% original and un-welded, in fact most of the car still wears its original Grandprix White paint. Perfect gaps and shutlines all around.
The interior is un-restored as well and in very nice condition showing just the right amount of authentic patina one would expect for a car of this vintage. Correct 300 kp/h speedo!
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This Carrera 2.7 is fully numbers matching and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, receipts for the engine rebuild, German registration and inspection documents and original manuals.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>1974 Carrera 2.7 MFI cars are rare and this one presents a particularly rare opportunity to acquire an authentic Carrera 2.7 in original and mostly un-restored condition. A blue chip investment grade Porsche!
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Please study all the photos closely to evaluate the condition of this car!
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Located in Germany.
</i><br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>There has only been 2 previous keepers in the past 10 years and the history file includes all MOTs back to 1980. The history file includes a photograph album featuring full restoration along with 9 files of documented history including service details back to 1983, as well as a lever arch file with magazine articles and concours features.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Reading 98k documented miles from new, the car was fully restored in 1990 and was entered into the concours of the first Porsche Parade Europe in Brighton that year. The car was magazine featured in the Spring 1991 Porsche Post. In 1992 the car was entered into concours d'elegance at the Porsche Parade Europe, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. In spring 1993 the car was again magazine featured in the Porsche Post.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The car was displayed at various shows between 1993 and 1996 when further restoration work was then carried out at 105k miles by the owner at considerable expense, to prepare the car to a level whereby it would challenge for 'car of show' in more Porsche concours events. The amount spent on the car at this time is staggering and all receipts are included in the vehicle history. In 1997 the vehicle was made available via The Studio Club for TV, film and location shoots.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In 1998, following 9 years of single ownership and astronomical amounts spent on restoration work, after much persuasion, a former Porsche Club GB Register secretary (mechanic and race car specialist) managed to acquire the vehicle! He went on to own and maintain the car for a further 17 years. In this time, the car was used sparingly, being shown at national events.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In November 1998 the car was exhibited on the Porsche Club GB stand at the NEC International Classic Show. The car was featured on the cover of the 1999 book 'Porsche: Colour Family Album'. In 1999 the car was entered into the Porsche Club GB National Event, Classic Concours, at Highclere. In 2000 the car was judged in the Porsche Club National Concours at Hoghton Tower. In 2001 the car was regional Concours winner at Region 18 (Lancashire & Cumbria) Show. At the National Event in 2001, in the Heritage Category of the Concours d'Elegance at Highclere, the car scored 443/500 points making it a very close runner up to the overall winning car at 445/500. In 2003 the car competed in the Porsche Club National Event concours at Eynsham Hall. The car was subsequently used for the occasional show, making appearances at national events, most notably, the PCGB festival at Ragley Hall in 2007 and the PCGB 50th anniversary event in Cirencester in 2011. The history file documents photos from various concours events along with judges' scoring.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The car was serviced by it's former keeper, mechanic and race car specialist in 2015. At this time, it was MOT'd with no advisories. The mileage is now showing 109k miles, equating to only 4K miles of use since nut and bolt restoration 20 years ago. In that time the car has been dry stored. In a recent attempt to reinstate the original number plate UGT 9M, DVLA have allocated the period registration WEY 376M although a further request has been made to DVLA to re-issue the original number UGT 9M on 'historical grounds'.

This special model is one of the last mechanically fuel injected street 911s produced and came from the factory with the legendary 911/83 engine from the 1973 Carrera RS.<br />

<i><a href="http://parabolicapress.com/" target="_blank">'The Sondermodell coupes were not standard production 911s. They never appeared in factory brochures, and most Porsche books don't even reference them. They were only sold in Germany, basically through the backdoor, during the last two months of the 1976 model year. They were the last model-year street Porsche with MFI.'</a> - Ryan Snodgrass.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Porsche revived the Carrera name for its luxuriously equipped, top-of-the-range 911 in 1973. Designated 'Carrera RS' (RennSport), the newcomer was intended as a limited edition product for Group 4 GT racing, a class that required a minimum of 500 built. However, the resulting demand for this fabulous car proved so great that the production run was progressively extended, eventually ending up at 1,590 units and allowing homologation in Group 3 for standard GT production cars. The majority of cars produced were to 'Lightweight' (competition) specification, the remainder being delivered as the Carrera RS Touring, complete with 911S-type interior trim and fittings.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Based on a lightened 911S platform, the Carrera RS featured revised suspension and wider rear wheels (beneath flared 'arches) for improved handling, while the 2.7-litre, mechanically fuel-injected (MFI), air-cooled six-cylinder engine's 210bhp boosted top speed to around 150mph. Not merely a styling gimmick, the Carrera's trademark 'duck tail' spoiler made a vital contribution to high-speed stability, a virtue of increasing importance as power outputs continued to rise. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Based on the 911 Carrera RS Lightweight announced the previous year, Porsche's RSR GT-category racer collected overall wins in the World Sports Car Championship at Daytona and the Targa Florio in 1973, defeating 3.0-litre prototypes from Ferrari, Matra and Mirage-Ford in the process, an outstanding achievement for a production-based car.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>For 1974, Porsche introduced a new body incorporating impact-absorbing bumpers - a US requirement - after which the earlier body became known as the 'long hood' type. In the USA though, the Carrera had to make do with an electronically fuel-injected engine producing 'only' 175bhp (to meet emissions legislation) while elsewhere Porsche's customers enjoyed the legendary 2.7-litre MFI RS-specification 911/83 engine producing 210 horsepower. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The 1976 Sondermodell came with several performance enhancements as standard, including flared rear wheelarches, Bilstein dampers, 18mm rear anti-roll bar, 6" front and 7" rear wheels, and a limited-slip differential. Most importantly, it kept the RS-specification MFI engine. Like all the '76 911 range, the Sondermodell also benefited from Porsche's adoption of the improved Thyssen zinc coating process for the entire bodyshell. Only 113 were built for the 1976 model year.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>One of the last 2.7-litre 'MFI' Carreras made, chassis number '9034' left the factory in May 1976 and was delivered new to Germany. The latter was the only market to receive these last-of-the-line Carrera 2.7 Sondermodells, which were reserved for Porsche's most favoured clients, many of them from the racing community. These cars are considered by many enthusiasts to be the last of the 'real' Carreras. Chassis number '9034' is one of only two cars delivered in Copper Brown with the highly desirable electric sunroof option, while other items of special equipment included a rear window wiper and tinted glass. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The Porsche came to Belgium in January 1978 and has extensive Belgian history. In 1992 it was registered by a lady owner, Mrs Melkebeek from Aalst, and there is an old Contrôle Technique in her name dating from 1992 in the file. The car then was put away and hardly ever driven.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In 2012, the Carrera found its way to Holland where it formed part of a Porsche collection. It was then extensively restored with no expense spared, and after completion was featured in Porsche RS Magazine (01/2016 edition). After some 20 years off the road, the Carrera was in exceptionally original condition and an excellent candidate for restoration. In the course of the rebuild, all rubbers were replaced and the car repainted to the highest standard, while the engine and gearbox were totally overhauled. The odometer reading of approximately 80,000 </i><i>kilometres is believed genuine, a conclusion supported by the condition of the original interior when the car was found.
It is most unusual to find one of these ultra-rare 'Sondermodells' - one of the least known models in Porsche history - in such exceptionally original and unmolested condition; indeed, according to Ryan Snodgrass (author of the definite marque history, '<a href="http://parabolicapress.com/" target="_blank">Carrera 2.7</a>', published by Parabolica Press) this is one of the most original 2.7 MFI Sondermodells he has ever seen. The car comes complete with books, tools, and an owner's manual, while accompanying documentation consists of a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, a copy of the old Belgian registration papers, and a Certificate of Conformity issued by D'Ieteren, Belgium.</i><br />
<br />
Auction house estimate of <a href="http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23596/lot/31/" target="_blank">€175,000 - 275,000 (approx. $200,000 - 310,000)</a>.<br />

Description <a href="https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/LF16/London/lots/r137-1974-porsche-911-carrera-27-mfi/383400" target="_blank">from the auction company</a>:<br />
<ul>
<li><i>One of 1,036 European-specification 1974 Carrera Coupés</i></li>
<li><i>Factory-fitted sunroof</i></li>
<li><i>Fastidiously maintained and never fully restored; retains its original interior and engine</i></li>
<li><i>An Italian car from new; same Italian owner for over 25 years</i></li>
<li><i>Matching-numbers example</i></li>
</ul>
<i>While these new 911s gained the new-for-1974 U.S.-specification bumpers, the European-specification 1974 Carrera retained the fantastic 210 brake horsepower, type 911/83, 2.7-litre mechanically fuel injected engine from the 1973 Carrera RS. This was a huge difference from the engines in the U.S.-specification cars, which were fitted with the 2.7-litre flat-six found in the 911 S. The fenders and rear quarters in the new <a href="https://parabolicapress.com/products/porsche-carrera-2-7-book" target="_blank">Carrera 2.7 “MFI”</a> were tastefully flared to accept seven- and eight-inch-wide Fuchs forged alloy wheels. Underneath, there were new forged aluminium rear trailing arms, and the Carreras were fitted with 20-millimetre front and 18-millimetre rear anti-roll bars, Bilstein sport shock absorbers and struts, and, of course, large ventilated disc brakes at all four corners. Power was delivered through a Type 915/06 five-speed manual transaxle.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Delivered new to Auto Germana in Verona, Italy, in November 1973, this Carrera 2.7 was first registered in Modena in 1974. Finished in light yellow and fitted with an electric sunroof, it passed through the hands of five Italian owners up until June 1988, when it was acquired by the present custodian, and has remained in Italy ever since. Today, the car remains in largely original condition and has never been fully restored, as it has always been well cared for and subject to regular maintenance, as necessary, throughout its life. Upon careful inspection, it is clear that the car has never been in an accident, as evidenced from correct and original welding on the bodywork. While the outer panels have been repainted in its original light yellow in 1989, the original paint remains in excellent condition under the bonnet and in the engine compartment. The interior remains completely original and in exceptional condition, while the headliner has been renewed. The Porsche’s original Fuchs wheels still maintain their original, semi-matte finish.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Continuing the brilliant performance of the iconic Carrera RS, the 1974 Carrera 2.7 MFI is a wonderful automobile in its own right, providing the performance of the RS for a fraction of its price. Rarer than their older sibling, with only 1,036 examples produced, finding a well-maintained example can often be difficult. Having remained in Italy its entire life, this example remains largely original and presents exceptionally well. Boasting its original interior and complemented by its original light-yellow paint colour, this would be an ideal example for the individual looking to drive and enjoy one of the most exciting 911s ever built.
</i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #444444;">Summary: 210 bhp, 2,687 cc Type 911/83 air-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection; five-speed manual transmission; independent front suspension with torsion bars, McPherson struts, and an anti-roll bar; independent rear suspension with torsion bars, trailing arms, tubular dampers, and an anti-roll bar; and four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 2,271 mm Porsche’s 1973 Carrera RS was a runaway success for the company, and it was clear that they wanted to continue its success into 1974. However, newly enacted crash safety standards in the United States mandated the end of the “long-hood” chassis. This brought about the advent of the new G-series of 911, introducing shock-mounted bumpers, a stronger floor pan, revised lighting, and other new features.</span></i><br />

This might seem like an unusual quote to open an automotive story, but it happens to fit. Ryan Snodgrass of Washington state has made a lot of good decisions in his life, including his choice of career and family. It’s also allowed him to take on the monumental task of researching an underappreciated Porsche that uses the same engine as the legendary 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<i>Road Scholars Magazine</i> last visited with Ryan in December 2015 when editor Randy Leffingwell extolled the virtues of Ryan’s soon to be released book, <a href="https://parabolicapress.com/products/porsche-carrera-2-7-book" target="_blank">Carrera 2.7</a>. The 7.5-pound, 406 page reference features 830 beautifully reproduced high-resolution photos, more than half of which have never been seen. It also contains a lot of new information on the ‘74-76 G-series Euro Carrera 2.7, including obscure celebrity cars, racecars, and rare accessories.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So, what is it that motivates someone to take time away from a lucrative career to produce a “bible” on a car that was built for only three years in the mid ‘70s? Well, it might only take one drive in a Porsche 2.7-liter MFI powered 911 to appreciate what propelled Ryan to publish his book using the best paper, inks, and printing presses available.<br />
<br />

<div class="p2">
“I was compelled to do it as a lifelong lover of car books,” explains Ryan. “I had amassed a small library of automotive specialty books and appreciated how the best ones had complementary photos and text that increased one’s connection with a particular car.”</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Georg Konradsheim’s <i>Carrera RS</i> was one of those books. Coincidentally, at the same time Ryan was first considering authoring a book, Georg was updating his. After contacting Georg for guidance, Ryan was introduced to his designer, Christoph Mäder. “The two men became good mentors, advisors, and friends, and they supported me throughout the project,” Ryan notes. But perhaps we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves. Let’s look at the car that inspired Ryan’s book.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYbC2B1VVIJDVrdosVDtyvONvaiJI_D5_AQbdT7kYDn8HUx0XzYFfaJ2fnJQ5lz4tAAW0uA51iwEM_XkqReHmiSyHiu7YlOcr40Mw0kRKSmGoQ_AKKcTFXfqSEXUaP106nQjQcPE2OqhL_/s1600/2016-02-02-03-rw-9986.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYbC2B1VVIJDVrdosVDtyvONvaiJI_D5_AQbdT7kYDn8HUx0XzYFfaJ2fnJQ5lz4tAAW0uA51iwEM_XkqReHmiSyHiu7YlOcr40Mw0kRKSmGoQ_AKKcTFXfqSEXUaP106nQjQcPE2OqhL_/s640/2016-02-02-03-rw-9986.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<br />
There is one thing to know about the Euro 1976 Carrera 2.7. It is remarkably similar to the ‘73 Carrera 2.7 RS of Georg’s book. The difference is the ‘74-76 Carrera 2.7 was built on an impact bumper body and interior, instead of the earlier long hood form. The weight and horsepower output of the later Carreras 2.7 is virtually identical, and, as expected, the driving experience is very much the same also. That’s not surprising given the legendary Typ 911/83 2.7-liter RS-spec MFI engine was used in all of these cars.</div>
<div class="p2">

<br />
“I started looking for a ‘74-76 Carrera 2.7 MFI in 2009,” Ryan recalls. “I was surprised by the lack of information available on these models, even on the Internet. In the United States, the model was largely unknown at the time, even to real Porsche enthusiasts, as we never received them as exports because they were non-compliance to emissions standards.”</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
After a year of searching, Ryan finally found a 1975 Light Yellow Euro Carrera 2.7 stateside. This particular Porsche had been featured on the cover of a magazine and was one of the best-sorted 911s he’d ever driven. Shortly after that purchase, the owner of a ‘76 Silver Carrera called and asked if Ryan wanted to take on a disassembled project. It was Ryan’s complete restoration of this car back to original factory specs that inspired his book.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Undoubtedly, every rest-of-the-world Carrera is a special car. At about 1,635 coupes and 630 Targas, the Carrera 2.7 of 1974-1976 is of limited production, unique character, and historical significance. Total production compares closely to the roughly 1,590 1973 Carrera RSs built. The silver ‘76 911 that Ryan purchased in late 2011 is an especially rare car. It’s a Carrera 2.7 MFI “<i>Sondermodell</i>,” a “special edition” variation of the ‘76 911 with VIN #911 660 9050 (the 40th produced out of 113).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Ryan reports, “The <i>Sondermodell</i> coupes were not standard production 911s. They never appeared in factory brochures, and most Porsche books don’t even reference them. They were only sold in Germany, basically through the backdoor, during the last two months of the 1976 model year. They were the last model-year street Porsche with MFI.”<br />

The <i>Sondermodell</i> has the option code M405. For 1976, that meant several performance items were added, including SC style rear flares, Bilstein shocks, limited-slip differential, 18mm rear anti-roll bar, 6 and 7×15-inch Fuchs, and most importantly the 911/83 RS MFI engine. Weight was trimmed by eliminating the heavy bumper crush absorbers, electric windows, rubber-lined carpet, and carpeting on the door pockets.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There are other unique features original to this ’76 <i>Sondermodell</i>, like the lack of a badge on the rear deck lid, a blue Perma-Tune Ignition box, orange “<i>Langzeit Garantie</i>” galvanized decal, front spoiler, and the attractive early rear whale tail.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Ryan remembers, “911 660 9050 had been sitting in the back of a San Diego body shop in primer for the better part of twelve years. Eventually the owner decided to sell it because he realized he wasn’t going to complete the project anytime soon. When I went to inspect it, parts were strewn in the rafters, storage closets, and in piles around the shop. The chassis had been completely stripped and was just a bare roller covered in layers of dust.”</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
With the coupe’s cabin jammed full of parts, it was shipped to Tim Morris at German Master Tech in Bend, Oregon. There, an 18-month ground-up bare metal restoration was undertaken. “We were very careful to ensure that every part was original or correctly date coded. We wanted it to look exactly as it left the factory,” says Ryan. “I did the part sourcing, research and planning, including traveling to multiple private collections and visiting the factory archives in Stuttgart on four separate occasions. The process of going through this restoration proved critical in understanding these cars from the perspective of producing a book.”</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In 1976 Porsche switched from doing a partial galvanization to a new process of dipping the entire body of each 911. Thankfully, when Ryan’s ‘76 Carrera was previously painted, the shop didn’t take the paint down to bare metal, which ensured that the original galvanized coating remained on the car. The tub was also very original and rust free except for the battery box and lower windowsills.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Since the Carrera 2.7L MFI motor had not be run for over a decade, it was completely torn down and rebuilt. The final reassembly and tuning was done at Rothsport Racing in Oregon. PMB Performance in Utah restored the stock brakes, and Harvey Weidman of California refinished the date matching Fuchs.<br />

Ryan managed to source all the needed parts including an original black 1976 dash without A/C vents or speaker grills. The interior was then delivered to Tony Garcia at Autobahn Interiors in San Diego. Luckily, Tony found just enough NOS MacLachlan red tartan material to finish the seat inlays. “There is a big difference in the feel, color vibrancy, and crispness of OEM tartan fabric that you don’t get with today’s reproduction,” Ryan states.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
At Master Tech, everything, including the wiring harness, was removed before the most methodical final metal finishing, painting and reassembly.</div>
<div class="p2">

Complete and underway, this Carrera with its MFI induction rewards with a glorious sound and instantaneous throttle response. It has a remarkable feel compared to the US version of the Carrera of 1974-1975, which used the less powerful 2.7 CIS (K-Jetronic) injected engines that meet the California and US emission standards.<br />

Being from the Pacific Northwest, Ryan’s not afraid to drive his <i>Sondermodell</i> anywhere, even in the rain. Along the way he’s won “Best in Class” at the Concours on the Avenue event during the 2013 Monterey Historics week.</div>

Serious automotive collectors consider Porsche’s Carrera 2.7 RS to be the archetypical iconic long hood 911, and deservedly so. For the short hood 911s, the Euro Carrera 2.7 has the same soul and is equally captivating. Ryan knows this and his book portrays the complete story of these remarkable, unheralded sports cars.</div>

The latest <a href="https://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/239'"><i>Excellence</i> magazine issue #239 for September 2016</a> includes the article "<i>Das Sondermodell: A German-market-only 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI coupe makes its way Stateside</i>" by Doug Neilson. The article profiles the journey of the special 1976 Carrera 2.7 MFI Sondermodells from new in Germany, through the hands of an enthusiast who sold her VW Beetle and dreamed of a 911, through a few owners to the present caretaker.<br />
<br />
A few excerpts:<br />
<br />
<i>In the early 1980s, Vien Wheeler was going to school to become a pharmacist and driving a powder blue Volkswagen Beetle that was mechanically sound, but structurally not so good. Although her Bug had seen better days, her love of it led her to take an interest in another rear- engined, air-cooled German car: the Porsche 911. Upon graduation, however, Wheeler opted to loan her sister money to assist in the start-up of a business, rather than spend her paychecks on a sports car.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Wheeler's investment in her sister only temporarily delayed her ownership of a Porsche, though. The company Wheeler loaned money to help launch became successful. When it came time for reimburse<span class="s1">ment, </span>Wheeler <span class="s1">said </span>she <span class="s2">didn't </span>want <span class="s3">money, </span>but <span class="s3">she'd </span>happily <span class="s3">accept </span><span class="s4">a </span><span class="s2">911- </span><span class="s5">as </span><span class="s3">long </span><span class="s4">as </span>it <span class="s3">was something really special. Since </span>her <span class="s3">sister's </span>husband worked <span class="s6">as a </span>mechanical engineer <span class="s1">in </span>Germany, <span class="s7">this </span>turned out to <span class="s3">be </span><span class="s4">a </span><span class="s3">relatively </span>straightforward <span class="s3">request. </span>After doing <span class="s4">a </span>little <span class="s3">searching, Wheeler's </span>brother-in-law found <span class="s3">the </span><span class="s4">car </span><span class="s3">you </span><span class="s5">see </span><span class="s3">here. </span>After Wheeler's brother-in-law purchased the car from a German seller, it was shipped to the Port of Houston. After her 911 was unloaded off the boat, Wheeler drove her new wheels 243 miles home to Shreveport, Louisiana where she registered it on November 18, 1986.</i><br />
<br />
Another story from a later owner of the Sondermodell:<br />
<br />
<i>One day while working at Ruf, Glenn remembers seeing a very interesting customer car-an inconspicuous G-bodied 911 with an RS-spec 2.7-1iter MFI engine. Glenn pointed the car out to Alois, who happened to be walking by, and commented that someone had put an RS motor in the car. "That 'someone' was the Porsche factory," Ruf responded. "If you ever have a chance to buy one of these cars, do so. One day they will be very valuable."</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244379646918632402.post-32595377695729060552016-08-03T16:41:00.003-07:002016-08-03T16:41:57.542-07:00'74 Carrera 2.7 MFI @ Monterey Auctions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Description <a href="http://www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1974-porsche-911-carrera-2-7-mfi/">from the auction</a>:
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Matching-Numbers Original 2.7 MFI Engine</i></li>
<li><i>One of Only 1,036 “Euro Carrera” MFI Coupes Produced in 1974</i></li>
<li><i>Offered with Books, Tool Kit, Jack, and COA</i></li>
<li><i>Attractive Color Combination</i></li>
<li><i>Mechanically Similar to the Legendary 1973 Carrera RS</i></li>
</ul>
<i>New safety and emissions standards in the US, Porsche’s largest market, heralded the end of the road for the 911 “long-hood” chassis in 1974. The new “G-prefix” series of that year would bring a shortened hood, crash-resistant impact bumpers, revised lighting, and a plethora of other changes and upgrades.
From 1974 to 1976, a limited number of high-performance models were made available in European markets. Keeping the same Type 911/83 2.7-liter, 210 hp engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI), as well as most of the same fundamental qualities in overall feel and driving enjoyment as the Carrera RS, these “Euro Carreras” were an RS in all but name, although never branded as such by Porsche’s marketing department.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This particular 911 Carrera MFI is one of 1,036 produced for the 1974 model year and was completed in Stuttgart in November 1973. A very original, matching-numbers example displaying less than 125,000 km, it presents very well with one repaint in Grand Prix White (Code 124124), with complementing blue/black leatherette upholstery as originally delivered, and it comes complete with its owner’s manuals, tool kit, jack, and COA.
</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Following in the footsteps of its iconic predecessor was always going to be tough. Today, a renewed appreciation of the model has brought a corresponding rise in demand, and this beautiful Carrera would be a fine addition to any collection of rare Porsches, as it is suitable for both shows and touring.
