Vehicle Overview

This 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Targa brings together several of the qualities that make the mid-1970s Carrera such a compelling classic: limited production, distinctive period styling and a specification closely associated with the model’s enthusiast following. Identified as a US-specification example, it is one of just 433 units produced, giving the car a meaningful degree of rarity beyond the appeal of the 911 name itself.

The black exterior provides a particularly strong backdrop for the contrasting gold Carrera side graphics. Together with the correct Stern whale-tail rear spoiler and period-correct Fuchs alloy wheels, these details give the car the unmistakable visual language of a 1970s Carrera. The Targa roof adds another dimension to the experience, offering the open-air character that distinguishes the body style while retaining the practical presence of a fixed windscreen and roof structure.

Inside, the cabin remains deliberately faithful to the period. Black upholstery creates a restrained environment, while the sport “fatty” steering wheel adds an especially recognisable touch for anyone familiar with the era’s 911s. The specification also includes air conditioning, tinted glass all round and Koni shock absorbers, combining original equipment details with features that contribute to the car’s usability on the road.

Power is delivered through a five-speed manual transmission, an important part of the Carrera 2.7’s character and one of the reasons these cars continue to appeal to drivers as well as collectors. The displayed odometer reading is 64,218 miles. The car is also described as having been first owned by Sonny Bono, adding a notable piece of provenance to an already unusual example.

Supporting material includes a large file of original receipts and photographs documenting the car. For a collector, that accompanying record is valuable because it places the vehicle’s specification and presentation in a broader context rather than leaving the history to appearance alone. The combination of the Targa body, US specification, black-and-gold colour scheme, manual gearbox and limited production makes this a distinctive interpretation of the Carrera 2.7.
