1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RS Replica

Another German classic has arrived at MotoeXotica Classic Cars in the form of a very well done 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RS replica. These models are sometimes considered by enthusiasts to be the most “classic” 911s. This Carrera looks absolutely striking and has the performance to boot with a 2.7 six with PMO carbs producing 174 horspower at the rear wheels! Fitted with a RS rear ducktail, RS front spolier, RS door cards, Momo Prototipo steering wheel and Fuch 8×15 aluminum wheels, this Mexico Blue Carrera really stands out!

The Carrera name was reintroduced from the 356 Carrera, which had itself been named after Porsche’s class victories in the 1950s Carrera Panamericana races in Mexico. The RS was built to meet motorsport homologation requirements. Compared to a standard 911S, the Carrera RS had a larger engine with Bosch (Kugelfischer) mechanical fuel injection, revised and stiffened suspension, a “ducktail” rear spoiler, larger brakes, wider rear wheels and rear fenders.

Assembled in October 1973 and dressed in a very desirable Mexico Blue (code 336) exterior, the car’s paint is in excellent condition and its trim, including the black Carrera graphics and it’s iconic rear ducktail spoiler. It was professionally repainted in 2014 and the paint is extremely vibrant. The glass panels are clear and crack-free and the rear window includes an electric defroster. All of the vehicle’s lights are in very fine shape and the car rolls on its great black and silver Fuchs 8×15 aluminum alloy wheels, wrapped within Yokohama S Drive tires, 205/50R15 at all four corners. All of the car’s body panels are straight and solid and the bumpers are in very good shape and engine bay is very tidy.

Under that ducktail is a 2.7L flat six-cylinder engine with the performance desired PMO carburetor kit mated to a five-speed manual transmission, the car produces 174 horsepower and 166lbs of torque at the rear wheels. The car also has performance upgraded four-wheel disc brakes, a revised and stiffened suspension and a fresh engine out re-seal was done in October 2016. The car has had less than 200 miles put on it since its most recent service and the car has been extensively maintained with a large file of documentation. Also the undercarriage really tells the true story on this 911 with a very dry original belly pan and tidy details all throughout.

Open the driver’s door and a pair of saddle leather bucket seats greet you with the contrast of the RS black door cards with matching blue pull handles. They, too, are in very good condition, as is the matching carpet and light-colored headliner. The black instrument panel, with its VDO gauges and ignition switch on the driver’s side of the steering wheel, is also in very good order. In front of those gauges is a three-spoke Momo Prototipo steering wheel. Finishing off the interior is an Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player. Documentation includes original books, two keys and a file of records and receipts.

Competition to this Porsche in 1974 included DeTomaso’s Pantera and Chevrolet’s Corvette.
