According to marque historian and legendary Porsche Le Mans racing icon Jürgen Barth, this 1975 911 Carrera Coupe was originally painted in the special order color of Ice Green Metallic over Black Leatherette. A nicely optioned car from new, it was fitted with factory extras including forged alloy Fuchs wheels with 7Jx15 fronts and 8Jx15 rears (M401), a higher powered battery (M197), black headliner (M469), the five-speed gearbox (M481), and tinted glass (M568). Dunlop Tires were fitted on the wide factory Fuchs.
One of only 518 "Euro" Carrera Coupes produced during 1975, this wonderful Carrera retains its matching-numbers original 2.7-liter MFI engine, and is offered with books and tools along with a spare wheel and a spare key. A low-mileage car from new, the Carrera was in single ownership for nearly two decades in Southern California, prior to which it had resided with another Southern California enthusiast owner. A binder of carefully preserved receipts for various maintenance and service work document attention lavished upon the Carrera back to 1997.
An extremely thorough cosmetic restoration was performed in 2012, during which the Porsche was painted in the period Porsche factory color of Lime Green. In this undeniably striking hue, a subtle entrance anywhere is all but impossible; the Carrera truly invites competition and the envy of all onlookers. Body and paintwork were entrusted to Cooper's Classy Car Care of Santa Ana, California, and their extensive efforts to get the cosmetic presentation just right are extensively cataloged in multiple receipts. Interior components were renewed as needed with parts sourced from Autos International. It is understood that the engine, gearbox, and MFI pump were all previously rebuilt, though receipts for this work are unavailable.
Once finished, the Porsche was enjoyed on the road as well as being shown occasionally at PCA Concours events; it also was the recipient of a 2nd in class award at the Dana Point Concours d'Elegance in Southern California. With limited production numbers, a technical specification virtually identical to the 1973 Carrera RS, low original mileage and an exciting color combination, this striking Euro Carrera is one of the fastest appreciating classic Porsche models, and for good reason. This one is undoubtedly one of the finest available in the world today.
