1976 911 Euro Carrera MFI
 

Hello Everyone!

Some of you may know us as we have several clients floating around rennlist. I just wanted to take a minute on our first listing to introduce ourselves. CPR Classic was founded 43 years ago and our brand has been built on selling and restoring some of the finest air cooled porsches in the world. We're very excited to be joining the rennlist community as it has been my personal favorite Porsche forum for years. We look forward to sharing some of the spectacular cars that we get the pleasure of selling and hopefully meeting some of you along the way!

If you would like to have a look around the website and see a bit more of what we do, you can visit it here: www.cprclassic.com

Best regards,

Dylan Doherty (Sales Manager) & the CPR Team



Car Description:

Stock Number 2264

It doesn't show in the standard spec books, but after the end of the 1500+ famed 1973 911RS production, private clients’ demand for the MFI 2.7 for racing and driving enjoyment led Porsche to build 2,262 of these special cars between 1974 and 1976.

The factory built these cars to 73 911RS spec using the tested and true 2.7 911/83 motor and 915 trans in the new 5 mile-an-hour-bumper G-body car with the same quarter panel flares as the 73RS, new light alloy rear trailing arms and factory installed roll bar hard mounting points and alloy front calipers. All 113 1976 cars were special order and delivered to clients in Germany.

Most of these cars were heavily raced in Europe and are no longer faithful examples of the original. This example in its original factory Dark Bitter Chocolate with Tan vinyl interior is in excellent and correct overall condition. The car was sold new to a collector in Germany who rarely drove it and sold it to a collector in the US in 1989. The new US owner sent the car directly to the Porsche factory and had performance upgrades and interior seats redone at a cost of 58,000+ Deutsche Marks (approximately $33,000 at the time). The car was then shipped to the US and received US DOT and EPA certification. The complete releases and invoices along with all documentation from his ownership come with the car.

In 2007, CPR bought the car, fully serviced it then sold and shipped the car to Mr. Willi Kauhsen, a Porsche factory race driver (1968-1974) and team owner (1972-1979) in Germany. Willi, a close friend of CPR’s founder, kept the car in his collection until CPR’s founder purchased the car from Mr. Kauhsen and returned it to CPR.

Most recently, the car has resided in a collection here in the San Diego area and has just been reacquired by CPR to sell. This will be the third time that we have had the pleasure of selling this immaculate example of a Carrera MFI, and it still looks just as spectacular as the first time it entered our doors.

Since arrival to CPR the car has had a complete mechanical inspection, fluid changes, thorough detail, and has been safety checked. She is ready to drive and enjoy for miles to come!

This is a perfect example in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition and would be a star in any Porsche collection.

$260,000 or best offer.

Stunning car!

Thank you! its one of our favorites!

These 1976 Carrera/Euro MFIs were called "Sondermodell" or special model in the final year. They were the last road cars Porsche built with the MFI system. For those not familiar with the Carrera 2.7 MFI cars there's a great website and book by Ryan Snodgrass on these cars (http://carreramfi.com).

Beautiful car love the matching wheels. GLWS!

Out of curiousity, what were the "performance upgrades" done by the Porsche factory when the car changed hands in '89?
