In 1974-1975, Porsche followed up the legendary 1973 Carrera RS
with the launch of the updated new G-series body MFI Carrera 911,
which included the 'short' hood, new impact-resistant front and
rear bumpers, a non-reflective filler strip between the taillights,
unobtrusive side rockers, a front spoiler that improved high-speed
stability and wider fenders to accommodate larger staggered Fuchs
forged alloy wheels 6" x 15" front and 7" x 15" rear. The most
important distinction was the impressive 210-horsepower 2.7-liter
flat six-cylinder (Type 911/83) from the previous 1973 Carrera RS,
with Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection (MFI). New smog and
fuel-efficiency regulations precluded these 2.7 "MFI" Carreras from
being imported to the United States. Instead, US-spec Carrera 2.7
models were given the significantly less powerful 2.7-liter
flat-six from the 911 S with 165 horsepower. The Carrera 2.7 MFI
Coupe was a rarity in the rest of the world, with a limited
production of only 518 examples for 1975.
This 2.7 MFI Coupe was an Italian delivery. It was originally
finished in Viper Green Metallic exterior and Midnight Blue with a
Black interior. Number 362 retains its matching engine and
transmission, and the factory options include a Rear Wiper, White
Fog Lights, an Adjustable Door Mirror, Tinted Windows, an Electric
Sunroof, and a tail delete for Italy.
The paintwork is in stunning condition with Black Carrera script
down the sides and Black centers on the Fuch alloy wheels with
anodized lips. Both the body and undercarriage are solid and
rust-free. The paintwork is in beautiful condition with black
Carrera script and trim. The interior is also in exceptional
condition with a black dash with no cracks, a leather-wrapped VDM
Carrera steering wheel, leather seats with shetland inserts, VDO
instrumentation, and a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 radio equipped with
Bluetooth capabilities. The 911 MFI is fitted with staggered Fuchs
alloy wheels with black spokes and center caps and anodized lips
mounted to Pirelli CN36 Cinturato 185 70 R15 front and 215 60 R15
rear tires. The undercarriage is solid and rust-free and finished
in the factory undercoat.
According to the previous owner, the first owner, Renzo
Beltramelli, special-ordered the 2.7 MFI in Viper Green Metallic,
featuring black leatherette with Shetland inlays, an electric
sunroof, a Blaupunkt Bamberg radio, a rear wiper, tinted windows,
and fog lights. Mr. Beltramelli's enterprise held the exclusive
waste collection contract for the Aosta region in Northern Italy.
Subsequently, the MFI is reported to have transitioned through
three additional Italian custodians in the Piedmont region. In
2014, the 911 MFI was acquired from an elderly gentleman in Turin,
Italy, and it was found to be an excellent candidate for
restoration. In a collection of approximately 40 Porsches, the 911
MFI underwent a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration, during
which time it was reverted to its original specifications. Intended
to serve as the quintessential weekend driving vehicle, the
collector, regrettably, passed away before the restoration was
completed.
In 2019, Mike Fletcher Engineering was commissioned to perform a
comprehensive rebuild of the engine and transmission. The engine
was disassembled and resealed with new gaskets. Bearing clearances
and ring gaps were meticulously measured, and all the surfaces were
inspected and refaced. The engine components, including bearings,
rings, chains, and guides, were in excellent condition. The valve
seats were reworked, and the heights of the valve springs were
checked and adjusted. All the sheet metal components were
powder-coated, and the fan and fuel pump belts were replaced. The
airbox and manifolds were resealed with new gaskets. Adjustments
were made to the MFI pump, the timing was set, and the cold start
and hot mixtures were fine-tuned. The transmission was completely
disassembled, and all new synchro's were installed along with new
locking sliders. New shaft lock nuts were installed, the fork
adjustment was recalibrated, and new high-tensile bolts were
installed. On August 19, 2024, at 4,898 km, BS Motorsport serviced
the electric sunroof, the fuel tank sending unit, the speedometer
cable, and the engine mounts were all replaced, and new Pirelli
CN36 tires were installed.
Mechanically powered by the matching 2.7-liter six-cylinder engine
No. 6650502 (Type 911/83) with Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection
(MFI), 8.5:1 compression ratio, 210 horsepower @ 6300 rpm with
188.4 foot-pounds torque @ 5,100 rpm. The transmission is a manual
5-speed (Type 915/43) with a four-wheel disc braking system. Total
unloaded weight is 2370 pounds (1075 kg), 0-100Km/h (0-62 mph) in
6.3 seconds with a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph).
This is a rare opportunity for any collector to acquire a Porsche
911 MFI Euro Carrera in beautiful condition cosmetically and
mechanically. It is turn-key ready for its next owner. The 1975
Carrera MFI has the same weight and engine that powered the 1973
911 RS Carrera at a fraction of the price. Complete with a copy of
the original vehicle order, owner's manual, two keys, Porsche
letter of origin, and recent service records. It is a great
addition to any collection in a stunning color combination, and it
is truly a blast to drive!
