This 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI is in Grand Prix White with Blue/Black tweed.
This Carrera is from the Reggie Jackson collection.
Very rare and desirable European-spec 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupe featuring its matching numbers, 210-horsepower, 2.7-litre 911/83 engine made famous by the prior 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS homologation special.
This 1974 Euro-spec Carrera is one of those fortunate models that retains the same performance, feel, and driving enjoyment as the earlier RS. It was delivered from the factory to Nordrhein of Düsseldorf on November 21, 1973, and thence to its first owner. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms that this is a matching-numbers car that left the factory in Grand Prix White paint (R4) over blue-black leatherette with tweed fabric seat inserts (15).
It was fitted with Koni shock absorbers and 911 S brakes with aluminum alloy calipers and optional 7J and 8J by 15-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels mounted with Dunlop 195/70-15 and 215/60-15 tires, a package that neatly filled the flared front fenders and widened rear quarters.
Specifications: 2,687 cc air-cooled, SOHC horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine, Bosch mechanical fuel-injection, 210 bhp at 6,300 rpm, five-speed manual gearbox in rear transaxle, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. (Wheelbase: 89.4”)
Highlights:
Engine type 911/83
Engine no. *664)833*
Gearbox no. 345345
We are told the car was used by its original owner as his daily driver until April of 1987, by which time it had covered 147,712 kilometers (approx. 91,875 miles). Thereafter, it was used only sparingly over the next few years, The vehicle was then apparently taken off the road until 2009, when it was sold to renowned German 911 specialist Manfred Niederhof.
The car underwent a three-year cosmetic restoration by Niederhof and is powered by its rebuilt, magnesium-cased, mechanically fuel-injected Type 911/83 engine, with matching-numbers rebuilt magnesium gearbox. The interior is all original, including the dashboard. Original options include, power windows, forged alloy wheels, and “sunroof delete.”
A known car that changed hands at RM Scottsdale in 2016 then again with Rick Cole later that same year. The car has attended such events as Greystone Manor (2014), Palos Verdes (2014), and La Jolla (2015) Concours d’Elegance, where it was shown. It is also a PCA Class and Divisional winner, including Best in Class awards in 2014 and in 2015.
This 1974 in classic RS colors, sunroof delete, iconic “ducktail” spoiler, and expert German restoration.
