Southern California 911 Carrera, remaining in the care of a single
family for over 45 years, finished in the original color
combination of Black with a Black interior. No. 445 of only 528
U.S. spec Carreras produced for the 1974 model year, marking the
first year of the G-Series and the introduction of the iconic
impact bumper design.
The Black paint work has been well preserved and is complemented by
the Gold "Carrera" side script. Inside, the cabin presents
beautifully with a leather-wrapped VDM steering wheel, original
dash, VDO gauges, working air conditioning, and a Kenwood AM/FM
stereo and Blaupunkt speakers. Refinished 6" & 7" Fuch alloy wheels
are mounted with Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires (date coded 2024).
The undercarriage is solid, rust-free, and well preserved with a
suspension detail.
According to service records, the Carrera was sold to the second
owner in San Clemente, California, on May 27, 1980, with documented
history dating back to the first owner. Just prior to the purchase,
the 2.7L flat-six engine was rebuilt by HG Bieker of Burbank,
California, at 79,111 miles. The Carrera was then regularly
maintained by well-known Porsche specialists, including Andial,
Autobahn West, and Bill Brewster Automotive, through the 1980s to
the early 2000s.
After a period of light use and eventual long-term storage, this
Carrera was acquired in 2025 by European Collectibles, who
performed a comprehensive recommissioning, including:
• Undercarriage detail with dry ice
• Complete brake service including: new pads and rotors on all four
corners
• Brake fluid flush
• Tuning of CIS fuel injection system
• New throttle pedal bushings
• Serviced the air conditioning system
• New Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires
Mechanically, this 911 is in excellent condition, with a 2.7L
flat-six engine delivering 175 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque @
4,000 rpm, paired to a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transmission
(Type 915) and four-wheel disc braking system. Complete with a
California pink slip from the second owner, tool kit, date-coded
spare wheel, jack, tire compressor, and 45 years of service
documentation. The U.S. spec 1974 Carrera is a significant and
appreciating collectible within the air-cooled Porsche world. With
its low production, timeless styling, and documented California
history, this 911 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an early
G-series icon.
