Inheriting the 2.7-liter MFI engine from the 1973 Porsche Carrera RS, the Carrera 2.7—built for only the 1974 and 1975 model years before it was replaced by the 3.0 in 1976—could be had as either a coupe or a Targa. Rated for more than 200 horsepower in much of the world, the 2.7 was detuned for the American market, reportedly as low as 160 horsepower in California.
Thankfully, this 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 is a European model, meaning that it retains its full horsepower figure.
Finished in orange over a black and blue interior, this 911 is reported to be a numbers-matching example with 55,340 miles on the odometer.
Originally sold to a customer in Japan, this Carrera 2.7 was equipped with a few optional extras such as the ducktail spoiler and air conditioning. According to the car’s history, the 911 spent time in both Switzerland and Germany before being imported into the United States.
In 2012, when the car was acquired by its current owner, the Carrera 2.7 was evaluated and further preserved by Zuffenhausen Motors in Scottsdale, Arizona. As part of that process, the current owner asked the air conditioning to be removed, though can be easily reinstalled as “no cuts or changes were made to the car.”
