In 1974, Porsche followed up its legendary Carrera RS with an updated range-topping Carrera, the 2.7-liter MFI (Mechanical Fuel Injection).

The 2.7 MFI on offer here was built as a German home-market example and completed by the factory in Zuffenhausen wearing a finish of Grand Prix White over a Dark Blue/Black interior—a highly attractive combination.

A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity on file attests to the car being factory-equipped with Koni shock absorbers, “S” brakes, a rear windshield wiper, tinted glass all around, electric sunroof, Blaupunkt Lubeck radio with cassette player, and Dunlop tires (note, however, that the Porsche COA incorrectly lists the interior color as “Black,” rather than the original Dark Blue/Black).
