Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7, with American buyers received the CIS

rear steel fender flares, Bilstein shocks, aluminum brake calipers,
standard fiberglass RS ducktail rear spoiler, larger 20mm front and
added 18mm rear sway bars, and optional dealer installed wider

246 units to the USA market making them exceptional rare! Offered
here is a number's matching 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa finished
in Orange over Dark Blue interior! Coming from a private California
collection, this is #32 of 246 factory built examples and has only
break-in miles on a complete, professional restoration to both
cosmetics and mechanicals! It features its stock, number's matching
2.7L engine mated to its factory 915 5-speed manual transmission
producing 175 horsepower and 235 lb. ft. of torque. Options include
Blaupunkt AM/FM Stereo radio, leather wrapped steering wheel,

defrost, polished Fushs alloys measure 15x7 up front and 15x8" at
the rear wrapped in 60-series BF Goodrich g-force Sport rubber, and
more! Our example has lived the good life in California being sold
to a dentist, John Meyer DDS, in September 1974 from Cutright
Porsche-Audi based in Santa Monica, CA. It remained documented in
his original service manual through 1976. It had changed ownership
to a few Porsche enthusiasts over the years before receiving a
remarkable 2008/2009 restoration to better than new caliber! During
the meticulous restoration, the engine was removed for a top end
rebuild by Advanced Engineering of Temecula, California. A full
major service was also performed to include new drive belts, plug
wires, CDI box replacement with Perma-Tune Electronic ignition,
alternator, clutch with correct lightweight Carrera pressure plate
and all the proper hardware to refurbish the engine compartment
right down to the decal stickers! The vehicle maintains its rust
free originality and factory sheet metal, while preserving and all
reusable parts. It was completely stripped with the engine removed
and repainted period correct Porsche Orange (156) single stage
paint in factory fashion. The interior is style pigskin leatherette
with the rare light basket weave factory inserts in dark blue with
factory silverknit nylon velour carpet in matching dark blue. It
sports factory "black look" exterior trim, flexible lip front
spoiler, and rear ducktail spoiler with Carrera script. This early
production Carrera #32, (built August 1973) and not to be confused
with the ROW units, is in superb condition and likely one of the
most beautiful examples on the market today! It hails most recently
from a prominent Maryland collection where it has been kept in a
gorgeous, climate-controlled garage since arrival. It will come
complete with original manuals & service books, factory tools,
auxiliary tire compressor, and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.
It represents an excellent investment opportunity, and a perfect
addition to any collection! Act quickly; cars of this caliber never
last long!
