The vehicle is painted in the rare and period-typical color Brown Copper Diamond (Z6). The interior features beige synthetic leather with tartan-patterned center seat panels (Code 37), a particularly distinctive combination that is rarely seen today.
The car was factory-equipped with, among other things, a manual antenna (M440), the coveted 5-speed transmission (M481), matte black chrome and anodized parts (M496), headlight bezels painted in the body color, and Cibie auxiliary headlights.
Of the mere 113 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7s produced in the 1976 model year with the legendary RS engine, this vehicle is production number 56. This small production run alone makes the Carrera 2.7 one of the rarest and most sought-after production models in the G-series.
The car was first registered on June 9, 1976, in Germany. It remained in its first owner’s possession until 1986, when it was sold to Austria and registered there on June 23, 1986. During its time in Austria, the owner participated in various sporting events with the vehicle. Maintenance was performed regularly by the renowned Austrian Porsche specialist firm WEITEC, which enjoys an excellent reputation among connoisseurs.
On August 28, 2012, the vehicle was deregistered and placed in the care of WEITEC. There, the exceptional Carrera was discovered by a Porsche collector from Germany, who immediately recognized the rarity and significance of this model and acquired the vehicle for his collection. Since then, the Porsche has been part of a high-quality private collection and was driven exclusively in good weather. The focus was always on maintaining its excellent condition and ensuring proper technical care.
The vehicle is accident-free. Over the course of its nearly 50-year history, individual body panels have been repainted for cosmetic and preservation purposes. This is not unusual for a classic car of this age and does not affect either the authenticity or the quality of the vehicle.
Today, this rare Carrera 2.7 presents itself as an exceptional opportunity for collectors and Porsche enthusiasts. The combination of German first registration, traceable history, rare color, original RS engine, and extremely low production numbers makes this vehicle one of the most interesting Porsche models of the 1970s.
