Vehicle Description
CPR Classic is delighted to offer this impeccable1974 Porsche 911
US Carrera that is the true definition of a time capsule.
This US Carrera was an early 1974 example that was optioned in
Grand Prix white over a Russet interior and is kitted from the
factory with the seldom-seen "Gilded" stripe package.
This US Carrera is one of the most original 911s we have ever seen.
The car has traveled just 35,000 miles throughout its life, and it
is evident that it has lived with meticulous owners since new.
Recently acquired from an extensive Southern California Porsche
collection, this US Carrera is one of the most original, low
mileage examples CPR has ever had the luck to come across.
The car arrived to us in untouched, totally original condition
including all exterior paint, complete original interior, and
powertrain, which we believe had never been removed from the car.
Once the vehicle arrived, CPR performed a full service addressing
all items that needed attention due to the car's long-term stay in
a collection, being driven sparingly.
Cosmetically, we chose to repaint the front lower valance and
rocker moldings on the car due to rock chips. The rest of the
exterior paint remains wholly original and registers on a paint
meter between 3-6.5 mils everywhere. A light color-sand and buff
was performed to remove surface scratches, and the "911" stripe on
the hood was replaced due to the original having faded
extensively.
This US Carrera's interior is likely the nicest original interior
we have ever encountered on a vintage 911. Every piece of material
to include carpet and headliner is original and in concours
preserved condition. The seat bolsters show virtually no
stretching, and the seat padding is as if the seats were hardly
ever used. The Russet red contrasts beautifully on the Grand Prix
white exterior, and makes the cabin of the car an inviting time
capsule of a place to be.
This car took our breath away when we first saw it. The
preservation is incredible, and the unusual gilded stripe package
the car wears is a beautiful, unique flare of the time period that
is rarely seen today. If you are in the market for a perfect
original US Carrera, or a 911 that will compete to win in any
preservation class it enters, this is a must consider example.
