It does have a nice engine going for it though! The ad title says it is a Carrera, and shows 2.7 as the engine capacity, but has no photo's or any other specific details about this car. From memory there was a 74 Carrera 2.7MFI car which was basically the same as the 73RS with impact bumpers. 75 Carreras were 3.0. To me this his appears to me to be just a run of the mill 2.7 CIS Sporto, and potentially an import with the MPH speedo, as I think by 75 all of our cars were in kms. Nice enough car, but definitely not immaculate, so I would guess the price is a bit steep for that. Yeatesy and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how any of these old UNRESTORED/ not nicely rebuilt POS can command this type of $$$? Driving experience? Unless a proper built/rebuilt/restored car - its all fictional how "good" a drive they are. Give me a 993/987/996/997 any day. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Porsche didn’t make a Carrera with a sporto suggests it’s a 911 or a 911S with the black window trim option. A VIN would confirm exactly what it is but I agree Jeff it looks to be an import. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car appears to be a 'base' model spec. 2.7 (CIS) 911 'S' (US model designation) - not to be confused with the pre 73 'S' designations or a 74/75 Carrera 2.7.

LeeM Posted 4September, 2022 Report Share Posted 4September, 2022 That doesn't look too bad for the money. Especially when it's only done 10k on the engine rebuild. Coupla tweaks here n there and just drive it 👍 The car in the background doesn't look bad either Joz, tomo and Yeatesy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
