The “H” Series Porsche 911, introduced for the 1974 model year, incorporated some fairly major structural, mechanical, and cosmetic changes to comply with the ever-stringent U.S. safety and emissions regulations. New were the impact-absorbing aluminum bumpers fore and aft, with inner structures at both ends strengthened to absorb impact. The hood was shortened, and the doors were reinforced internally. The front corner lights and reflectors were incorporated into the rubber bumper trim, while a new center reflector filled the space between the taillight assemblies. There were important suspension upgrades, a larger fuel tank (which necessitated a compact spare tire and air compressor), and a single battery tucked into the left-front corner of the trunk. The interior gained new high-backed seats for the driver and passenger.

For 1975, only the 911 S and Carrera were offered to American buyers, fitted with the same 2.7-liter engine with K-Jetronic fuel injection. The Carrera was differentiated with flared fenders and wider wheels, along with a rubber-edged whale-tail rear spoiler, front rubber spoiler, and Carrera trim package, including decals and body-color-matching wheel centers.

The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity for this very attractive 1975 Carrera Targa notes that it left the factory November 28, 1974, for shipment to Kline-Giganti Porsche-Audi in Indianapolis, Indiana. It had been ordered in Bitter Chocolate (code 408) with a contrasting gold Carrera decal set and gold-painted wheel centers. The interior was trimmed in equally delicious Cinnamon (36) leatherette. Most interestingly, the buyer, Dr. Wilbur Sandbulte, specified a standard “narrow” body configuration, without the wider fender flares, and a folding top panel, which was an option after a new rigid top panel became standard equipment. In addition, this car was optioned with below-the-bumper fog lamps, a rear-window wiper, and Dunlop tires.

The magnificent 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 coupe featured here is finished in highly desired all-black over black leather interior and red decal accents. This incredible motorcar is been meticulously maintained and was formally owned by Porsche of America Concours Chairman and was awarded under his ownership the prestigious Parades Manhattan Concourse award. This investment-grade 911 Carrera coupe is among one of the finest examples we’ve offered in many years and would be a perfect addition to any premier collection. I personally believe the investment potential of this iconic Porsche Carrera will grow beyond your imagination, offered to the most sophisticated collector investor or enthusiasts who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this rare and highly desirable Porsche
