Documentation shows that the car was imported into Australia in 2008, before being acquired by the seller in 2011. It started life as a G-model 911 before being upgraded into a faithful tribute to the Carrera 2.7 MFI model. The car was repainted by Porsche Specialist Chequered Flag between April 2023 & March 2024. The odometer indicates 78,959 Kms, though this is not warranted.

This example is finished in its original shade of black with contrasting gold ‘Carrera’ side decals, and it rides on a set of 16-inch 7J front and 8J rear Fucks alloy wheels, which are finished in gloss gold with polished barrels, and are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres. Porsche Classic has confirmed that the car was built in April 1974, delivered new to California, and was optioned with black paint, a sunroof, a blue/black interior, Fuchs alloy wheels, energy absorbing bumpers, Koni dampers, opening rear windows, stabiliser bars, and oil tank, an oil level indicator, and tinted glass. The seller notes that the interior is largely original and retains its correct blue/black door trims and original door pockets, but it has been fitted with a new headliner, aftermarket Recaro front seats which have been retrimmed in black vinyl, a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, and an aftermarket gear knob. A more modern Alpine stereo has also been fitted, which features Bluetooth connectivity, and is linked to a new set of speakers. The car also retains its original sunroof, and boasts a VDO analogue clock, heater and ventilation controls, and a new genuine top-tinted Porsche windscreen. The car comes with the original jack, a CTEK battery trickle charger, a new battery, the jacking plate, and a brand-new genuine Porsche Classic tool kit.

Specific notes from the seller include: the car’s exterior was repainted between April 2023 and March 2024 by Porsche Specialist Chequered Flag. During this time, some minor visible spots of rust were also repaired on the passenger door, around the bottom edge of the headlamps, at the base of the rear quarter light windows, and on the rear wheel arches. The seller also notes that there are swirls and a couple of minor imperfections in the paint, some ‘orange peel’, and overspray under the roof gutters in the door openings. They also report that the original carpets are slightly faded, which is in line with the car’s age, there are some cracks in the dashboard, the clips for the Recaro seat tilt-back mechanisms need replacing, and the driver’s side floor mat is showing some wear.
