1975 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe

The 1974–1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 marked a clear divide between U.S. and Rest-of-World (RoW) models. While both wore the same name, they were mechanically quite different. U.S.-spec cars, often referred to as Carrera 2.7 CIS, used the same 175 hp engine found in the 911S, detuned to meet federal emissions regulations and equipped with Bosch CIS fuel injection. In contrast, RoW cars, known as Carrera 2.7 MFI, retained the legendary 210 hp RS-spec 911/83 engine with mechanical fuel injection, carried over directly from the 1973 Carrera RS. These MFI cars were effectively RSs in 1974–76 clothing, while U.S. models were visually similar but lacked the performance pedigree.

This 1975 911 Carrera Coupe is one of just 395 examples delivered to the U.S. that year. Finished in Black over Black leather, it presents today with 43k miles and underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2022–2023. The work included a repaint, full engine and transaxle rebuild, and overhauls to the suspension and brakes with updated aluminum fuel lines, a new fuel accumulator, and oil system components. The listing included plenty of detailed documentation, paint meter readings, and restoration photos, making this a well-documented and thoughtfully restored example.

Although well restored and documented, our Spotlight car only modestly improved on its 2024 sale price of $80,000, hammering this time at $86,000. I had this one pegged in the $80,000–120,000 range, thinking there was a real shot it could push past the twelve-month average of $103,672 for CIS cars. But despite the high watermark of $166,000 and a low of $60,000, the market remains flat, and this result reflects that.
