Vehicle Description
CPR Classic is excited to offer this 1974 Porsche 911 US Carrera
Targa finished in black over a black leatherette interior. A fully
numbers-matching example, the car retains its original engine and
gearbox and left the factory in the color combination of black over
black.
Showing 63,500 original miles, this 74' Targa has most recently
lived with a San Diego-based enthusiast who drove the car regularly
and had multiple items addressed on the car throughout his
ownership. Makello's Classics of Escondido, California, primarily
serviced the vehicle during its most recent ownership, totaling
over $17,000.
The service work performed by Makello's over the last several years
included new Bilstein shocks at all corners, all new suspension
bushings to include control arms, trailing arms, spring plates,
drop links, sway bar bushings, new turbo tie rod ends, new strut
mounts, new engine oil lines, new oil cooler lines, a completely
overhauled shift linkage, a Petronix ignition system and several
other items. The car has also received annual services by Makello's
since 2019, and during the most recent service, a new blower
assembly was installed.
Mechanically, the car is outstanding. It starts easily, whether hot
or cold, makes excellent power, and shifts beautifully. The chassis
dynamic is also incredible. The car turns in confidently, weight
transfers as it should, and is just an all-around pleasure to
drive.
An early example, this Targa completed assembly at the factory in
November of 1973 and was equipped as follows:
-US equipment
-Carrera script on doors - gold
-Folding Targa top
-Light metal wheels - forged (Diamond Metallic)
-Rear spoiler (ducktail)
-Tinted glass all around
-Pirelli tires
Several light alterations were made to the interior during the
car's life. A set of later factory sport seats and late 80's door
panels were installed. The most recent owner elected to change the
stripe package on the car to red. A gold stripe package can be
installed on the vehicle (as it was originally delivered from the
factory) if the new owner prefers.
Upon arrival to CPR Classic, the car was fully inspected and
serviced. We also removed a handful of aftermarket items such as
Rennline interior pieces and aftermarket headlights and reinstalled
the original factory parts that came with the car. The ducktail and
the hood are being repainted to address minor blemishes in the
paint.
This 74' Carrera is the perfect example of a very presentable,
high-quality driver that has had all of the proper mechanical
preparation performed to give its next owner a great experience and
a car that begs to be driven. If you are in the market for an
air-cooled 911 that can be driven regularly, whether it's canyon
runs or a trip to the supermarket, this 74' Carrera is an excellent
candidate.
