Original Special Order Jade Green #227

1974 Porsche 911 Turbo Look Hotrod 3.0 Description

1974 911 CALIFORNIA JADE GREEN COUPE
This outstanding 74 911 has never been restored. It has simply evolved over the years into this stunning hotrod...survivor, if you will.
Always garaged, never fell into neglect or disrepair.
Bought new here in Sacramento, CA @ Lasher Porsche/VW.
Build date: 09/73.
Special Order Jade Green #227.
No sunroof coupe.
In 1987, the original owner commissioned the professional installation of the OEM steel 930 flares, valances, spoilers & rockers along with a windows out, original Glasurit application of original color (dated poloroids included).
Motor/transmission transplant came later with a coveted, 78/79 (type 930/06) large port 3.0L, #6591455, accompaniedwith it's 915 gear box (type 915/61) #7198032.
Motor has pop off valve, carrera oil fed chain tensioners, SSI stainless heat exchangers and a 2 in 2 out exhaust. Runs outstanding and sounds amazing. No leaks. Believed to have apporx. 20K at this point on a rebuild of an originally low mile unit.
Transmission, also believed to be low miles. Also does not leak. New flywheel and clutch in 2016.
Original owner eventually sold to a collector a few years ago. Car was then consigned @ Luxury Motors and I (DRD Motor Trade) bought it from them earlier this summer.
Amazing condition in and out. No rust. No accident trauma. No excuses in or out.
Power windows work fast and smooth. All glass in excellent condition including the rear pop out windows.
Power locks with key fob remote (nice system, professionallyinstalled recently along with alarm).
Exceptional body and paint work. The car has survived 3 decades and still looks fantastic. Other than age related nicks and chip touch ups here and there, I really consider it to be a survivor. So many of these cars were built hastilyon less than average example cars. The color and condition of this car, both before and after the modifications, make it quite the unicorn.
Reconditioned Air conditioning. New lines, rebuilt compressor, and charged recently. Works excellent.
Excellent interior. Very tidy and well aged. Custom houndstooth centered 87 front seats and steering wheel. Uncracked period replacement dash. Original carpets. Original rears seats. Very nice, original Ivory headliner. Excellent gauges. Good seals, low to no wind noise. New Stereo head unit with upgraded door speakers and working power antenna. Everything works. Both doors have the lovely Porsche 'ping' when you shut them. Excellent gaps, lines and seams throughout.
The condition of this car is what sold me, but the color is what attracted me. I can't put into words, or pictures, just how stunning this color is. You really need to see it in person to absorbit. Picture yourself driving down the freeway in the fast lane in your Red, Black, Silver or White 911, ...then imagine it being bright glowing green...It's crazy fun.
Once I got the car, I had adjustable rear spring plates with new bushings installed @ IPB Autosport. Then lowered it for proper 'posture' on it's new 17" custom Fuchs with new Sumitomo tires package. It then got a 4 wheel alignment @ Radial Tire Service.
Custom period correct 'turbocarrera' style body striping was designed and supplied from Car-bone in Poland. I just love the finished product and think they complete/compliment the period look of this car and it's color perfectly. They are vinyl of course though, and easily removable.
Owners, maintenance and warrantymanuals, jack, spare, partial records and some fun period accessories all included (pictured @ bottom).
Pre purchase inspections welcomed and encouraged...you just gotta see this one for yourself. You can't not fall in love with it. Instant crowd favorite where ever it goes. Feel free to contact me anytime for more info.
