1974 911 Carrera Coupe 5-Speed

A solid CIS fails to bring the bids, while some thought it should bring MFI money

The 1974 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe carried over much of the spirit of the legendary Carrera RS, but the experience differed significantly depending on market. Rest-of-World cars retained mechanical fuel injection (MFI) and produced 210 horsepower, essentially giving buyers a more civilized RS Touring. U.S. cars, however, switched to Bosch CIS fuel injection to meet emissions regulations, dropping output to around 175 horsepower. While both shared the flared Carrera bodywork and distinctive styling, the RoW MFI cars are far more sought after today thanks to their sharper performance and closer ties to the RS lineage.

This 1974 911 Carrera Coupe 5-Speed came finished in Grand Prix White over Black leather and showed 86,000 miles. One of just 528 imported to the U.S. for the model year, it had been repainted at some point and modified with Euro-style rear bumperettes, taillights, and H4 headlights with additional upgrades including stiffer torsion bars along with adjustable rear spring plates and anti-roll bars. Recent service included a battery in 2024 and a replacement air box, breather hose, fuel filter, and intake manifold gasket in 2025.

Over the last twelve months Carrera 2.7 CIS cars have averaged $100,000 with a low of $86,000 and a high of $124,001 with a low sample size of just three cars. MFI cars have averaged $231,000 with a low of $177,000 and a high of $285,000, again, with just a sample size of two cars. Our Spotlight car failed to sell at a final bid of $104,000, which was definitely low for the condition of this one. And although some in the comments thought this should have been a $200,000 sale, I think the bottom end of the MFI cars would have been too high. Maybe another $30-50k here would have got the deal done.

TOGETHER WITH PORSCHE SALT LAKE CITY

There are Porsche Centers, and then there are PORSCHE CENTERS. The newly opened Porsche Salt Lake City is firmly the latter. Established in 1958, Porsche Salt Lake City is one of the oldest Porsche centers in the United States, now paired with one of the most advanced facilities in the network.

The new space spans over 100,000 square feet, with every detail considered. A 30-bay service center anchors the facility, featuring extra-wide bays, in-ground lifts, and custom Italian DEA toolboxes, a first for a Porsche Center. Throughout the building, Apple-powered workstations with dual Mac Studio monitors allow seamless plug-and-play capability for Brand Ambassadors. Below, a massive parking structure houses up to 100 vehicles and features a custom, non-traditional photo booth that reflects the scale and intent behind the entire operation.

A huge congratulations to Gavin and his team on what is quickly becoming a true destination for those passionate about the brand. If you find yourself near Salt Lake City, it’s well worth the visit.
