Jeff:

Congrats on your purchase. The 2.7L in the '74 has some issues but I am sure you are aware of these. If not, check Middle Year 911 website.

Post some picutures if you have them.

Here is the St. Louis, MO PCA site for Carreras.

Jason

Jason,

Thanks for Info!

I posted pics on Page 9 of the Photo Album

Jim,

Yep,

It is a 2.7 MFI 911/83

Please look at the pics and tell me what you think.

Thanks

Thanks Jim,

Did I read somewhere that you are rebuilding the E motor to 2.7RS spec?

Nice looking car! While others may disagree, I like those decals on the side.

This fall/winter I'll rebuild it into a 2.7RS. Now if you'd like to save me a little time...

Jeff, great car! Looks clean, original, and unmolested. Engine looks beautiful and nicely detailed.

I'm curious about the wheels on it... they look 7" wide front and rear, I can't tell if they are 15" or 16". Are these the original sizes from Porsche?

Do tell -- how do you plan to use this car? Looks like it has concours potential, but then again it should be a blast on the track too.
