This car was originally a U.S. version car. A friend of mine wanted an RS and purchased a 73 RS that had a lot of rust. The 911/83 engine was installed in this 1974 Carrera along with almost all of the European equipment (lights, lenses, etc.). (He wanted a Euro car he could drive on the street without the fear of U.S. Customs seizing a grey market car.) He also installed a 1976 Turbo tail to help improve the air conditioning. The car was originally yellow and he painted it black. When I bought it, it had a black interior and I wanted a red interior. (I spent a couple of summers working at Werk I in Stuttgart in the early 70's when the Carrera's first came out. I saw a black with red and felt that was one of the most striking combinations.) A red interior from a Turbo was installed.
I purchased my Carrera (VIN 9114400165) on March 21, 1988. The mileage at that time was 55,212. The engine in my car is a Type 911/83, number *6630371* . Since I purchased the car it has gone about 8,000 miles, has always been in a garage, and never had any body damage from rust or accidents since I have owned it. The car currently has 16” wheels (7 & 8’s) plus I have the original 15” set.
Complete overhaul, standard size main and rod bearings, crankshaft polished and magnafluxed, timing chains, time certs installed, late model oil pressure bypass modification, line bore case, shuffle pin the case, GT3 oil pump, Mahle 9.5:1 pistons and cylinders (from Andial), new valves and guides, overhauled throttle bodies (Eurometrix), overhauled ignition distributor, late model Carrera chain tensioners, powder coated all sheet metal, new alternator, new starter, new late model air conditioning compressor, Sachs power clutch, stainless steel heater boxes (still have originals).

Bij mij staan er wel minder kilometers op.
