Steel wheels on a '74....awesome.

Pretty funky. I like it!

Nice! Three owners, mostly OG, has AC, great color, steelies and Sporto.

Normally not a fan of rubber bumpers but me like.

Hey,i am with you guys 517 sportos made,150hp-so not exactly as good as the early cars due to added weight.The only thing that concerns me is possible rust(granted it's tough to tell with the photos that rubber molding is asking for rust i would remove and check and bottom of doors,i know i know it says no rust unless it was glad double wrapped how many times have we heard that-it's a killer for original paint cars.What do you guys think of this area here?Otherwise i would consider purchase-cus it's got in goin on.

I don't think that the 74s weigh any different from the 73s. Depends on options targa/coupe, etc. but apples to apples they weigh the same. Aluminum rear control arms and lighter seats offset the mild weight gain from the (aluminum=light) bumpers. But, you're right about 150 and a sport. It's gotta be kinda anemic.

P.S. What is it with steel wheels? I like the Fuchs much better. I guess that we take them for granted.

Just looked on Pelican. V. nice car - love the color, but, oh, that aftermarket A/C. Needs to get a conversion to 2.7 RS spec motor and a 915. Then, someone can have some fun.

...Or.... you can drop in a 3.2....

Wow, timing is everything. Much nicer can than mine, even if a targa. Just imagining how a 2.7RS/Sporto combo would drive...

FYI, I contacted the broker and arranged a PPI at Porsche of Fort Meyers for this car, based on their observations I decided to not go forward with the purchase.
