1974 US Carrera #354 in incredibly rare Olive Green (I believe to be the ONLY 74 US Carrera in this exterior color) Excellent overall condition. All Matching-numbers 85k Original miles Ordered with the following Factory options: 7" and 8" Fuchs NO SunroofNO Air ConditioningAuxiliary Oil CoolerUpgraded suspension Car spent almost 20 years in a private Southern California collection, prior to my purchase. Car was originally delivered in California. Complete record of ownership and many items of original documentation. Original Toolkit and spare. I have owned this car for several years and loved driving it and also attending many PCA and Porsche group events. It is stunning in this color combination and is constantly complimented. In 2013, Panorama decided to do a complete article on the car (May 2013 Edition). The 9-page article and professional photos by Randy Wells probably market this car better than I ever could. The car drives and handles wonderfully. It has been kept in superb mechanical condition by a 30+ year Porsche Specialist mechanic. The car has the original paint (with the only exception being a respray to the spoiler, as the paint was cracking on the leading edge). The paint shines and still looks in great condition. The interior of the car is in wonderful condition. There is a modern stereo installed and the original unit was not in the car when I purchased. Overall, it would be extremely hard to find such a beautiful early 911, with this much rarity. The color, the factory options list, the condition. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

I wanted to add some additional information to answer some commonly recurring questions: 1. I have put a bunch of photos of Olive into a dropbox, as eBay only allows 24. There are additional car interior and exterior photos, engine compartment photos and also photos of the Panorama Article. eBay will not allow me to insert the link, as it says it does not allow non-clickable links. Therefore, just message me and I will send you the link to DropBox. 2. International Shipping: I am perfectly happy to assist in shipping of the vehicle (at buyers expense) and will include having the car professionally transported to the Port of Oakland for those of you looking to ship the car. It is approximately one hour from my home. 3. I reserve the right to end the auction early 4. The chain tensioner upgrade was done during my ownership (as well as a full leak down test and replacement of anything else the car needed, once I owned it). I have all documentation from this and also will include the original covers that were oiled and put in zip-lok bags at the time of the upgrade. 5. I am not a dealer or in the automotive business. I have several early 911s and take very good care of them. I am a member of PCA, RGruppe and EarlyS Registry, so many people have seen Olive. 6. I have really enjoyed talking to several of those bidding (or I guess considering bidding!) and welcome any and all questions. I really love this car and want it to go to a great home. 7. In fairness to everyone involved, I have replied the same way every time to the question "what is your cash price to buy the car now?" My response is that there in auction running and although I am always open to offers, I will not be naming a price. 8. The car is available to be seen by appointment.

A complete inspection of the car, including suspension, brakes, engine etc was performed. Everything came out as excellent, including the compression test. "A couple of hoses were tightened" was the only item that was found to need any attention at all. The comment made by the mechanic was "One of the best condition 74's that I have worked on". Please contact me if you would like any further information or to schedule an appointment to see the car, prior to the end of the auction. Thanks
