Guys this is not being represented correctly. Please be Careful as I know the car well. I put it together from a basket case for a guy with a very limited budget. The guy selling has owned it for a week. VIN shows that it's a 1974 911, not a Carrera, as well as the black fan shroud - US 74 Carrera's had a green one. |

74 is a weird year..non S small cams and intake ports... '74's are a great changeover year. They used the same exhaust as the earlier cars (2 into 2). The 2.7s "Achilles Heel" were the thermal reactors that showed up in '75. The already sketchy valve guide wear was accelerated by added heat. Pulled stud issues are well publicized. Porsches "Federally Mandated" bumpers are also a better looking design than anything that came out of Detroit or anywhere else for that matter. Give thanks to the late-great Tony Lapine. |

If "tea try" is referring to the rear tail this car has, it was used on the 76/77 Turbos with the 3.0L engine. 1978 got a larger tail to cover the intercooler that was added in 78 with the 3.3L engine. Jim |

The "tea tray" spoiler didn't appear until 1978 and yes, the intercooler had some bearing on it's size. The '75-'77 Turbos used a variation of the '75 Carrera spoiler. The tea tray looks like this. The rubber is the "tray". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The car in the ad has the earlier Turbo tail. I actually like the look of the early tail better than the latter tails used on the inter-cooled cars. Jim |

Jim The one in the ad is a very very poor copy of the original I assumed the one in the ad was an aftermarket copy but it doesn't look too bad in the picture but it is just a picture. I do recall seeing aftermarket tails that were longer and maybe wider than the OE tail and they don't look right. Not too many people would be willing to pay for an OE tail as an add on. At the first Porsche dealership I worked at we had a customer that seemed to never be shocked or stopped by the price of parts and even he passed on a OE tail at $900 for the rubber lip and $800 for the deck lid/tail. That was about 1980 or so. Jim |
