Transmission No. 7346492

Manufactured in January 1974, this Porsche 911 Coupe was part of the first model year of the newly restyled impact bumper 911s making their way to Porsche’s most important market, the United States. Ordered in evocative 336 Mexico Blue (a new color that featured in Roger Penske’s order of 15 IROC Carrera RSRs) this 911, like all for 1974, featured an increased displacement 2.7-liter air-cooled flat-six under its engine lid. The original owner did not shy away from the options sheet, with the car featuring a Midnight leatherette interior and comfort items including air conditioning, tinted glass all around, vent windows, and 911 S gauges. Performance options included Koni shock absorbers, forged Fuchs alloy wheels with Pirelli tires, and front and rear stabilizer bars.

Beginning in 2020, this well-ordered non-sunroof 911 Coupe underwent a four-year bare-metal restoration and mechanical overhaul with subtle period modifications, all clothed of course, in its original shade of Mexico Blue. The matching numbers 2.7-liter air-cooled engine was removed and, in the hands of well-known Jeff Hines, rebuilt to 911 S specification. Post-teardown, the engine case was “hot tanked,” machined and fitted with Time-Serts. Performance enhancements included new 911 S pistons and cylinders and camshafts, reconditioned S heads and connecting rods all breathing through an S-spec Bosch CIS system that featured fine tuning by expert Al Kosmal. Further improvements include hydraulic chain tensioners, SSI heat exchangers, and a Dansk sport muffler all surrounded by a restored engine bay. The type 915 five-speed transmission was freshened and a new clutch assembly was installed before the rejoining the pair.

The unibody, with the exception of the engine compartment, was stripped to bare metal with repairs made before a coat of epoxy primer and application of single-stage Mexico Blue from Glasurit. Upon reassembly, the car is noted to have received a new windshield and all-new body seals, a front valance Carrera lip spoiler, and new brite-anodized exterior door top trim and lower rear quarter window trim. Period-appropriate chrome-rimmed Bosch H4 headlights were installed along with new rear license plate lights and interior lights while the remainder of the lenses and reflectors were polished before reinstallation. Underneath, the car was treated to similar slate of upgrades that included new suspension bushings, the installation of Koni inserts in front and Bilsteins at the rear, and a ride height adjustment to RoW spec, along with staggered six and seven inch wide 15 inch Fuchs wheels restored in “RSR finish” by Peter Nguyen. The 1974-1975-only Midnight seats have been restored with the original hard-wearing leatherette Basketweave seat covers still fitted.

Most recently, the front trunk and interior carpeting has been replaced, along with new interior door panels, and proper gold engine decals. The history file for this 1974 Porsche 911 Coupe includes a PCNA-issued Porsche Production Specifications (PPS) report and a build document from Jürgen Barth providing its production number and confirming the car retains its original matching-numbers engine. Furthermore, the car is offered with a toolkit, rare blue jack, and a spreadsheet-style recap of restoration costs, additional evidence of the expense and care devoted to the car during restoration.
