With the G series reintroducing worldwide classics like the Carrera, which shared the legendary Carrera RS engine, or the 930, the first turbocharged 911 streetcar, there was a bit of everything for everyone. Highly capable as a performance car and equally comfortable on long drives, the G series 911 has proved again that evolution can sometimes be a good thing. The 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe for North America was the top level of 911 available in 1974 and 1975. Powered by the CIS-enabled 2.7 liter engine producing 175hp, it benefited from the upgrades of the G-body chassis which resulted in a more comfortable ride while still retaining its sporty handling. By this time Porsche dealers began to become more accustomed with ordering special equipment and options via customer requests, which led to the G-body series cars having quite a bit of customization compared to the previous models. This 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe was completed in April of 1975. It was spec’d in the rare and iconic Gulf Blue color with a black leather interior, the original specification according to its Porsche Production Specifications sheet. It was optioned with air conditioning, an electric sunroof, and Dunlop tires. It came standard with a 2.7L air-cooled flat six engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The first owner, Paul E. Shrike, Jr., purchased the car new off the lot from DeMaria Porsche Audi, Inc. on September 25th, 1975 in Miami, Florida. According to the original sales sheet, he traded his 1972 Volvo 164 against the new Porsche Carrera. He kept the car in Coral Gables, Florida, until he sold it to its new caretaker David J. Leira in Miami, Florida on October 12, 1991. David then kept the car in his care until June 1st, 2020 when it was purchased by its most recent owner, James Hutton, located in North Vancouver, BC. Hutton decided that it was time for his newly-acquired Carrera to have an engine rebuild, to start his ownership off with a strong engine. He sought out the expertise of Frank Allers Autosport, former racing driver turned mechanic shop, where the 911 Carrera received a host of new parts for his engine. During this time the engine was disassembled for inspection, and a complete engine rebuild was performed including new bearings, gaskets, and seals, new cylinders and pistons, and rebuilt cylinder heads. Documentation shows that the engine rebuild was completed with 51,590 miles on the odometer in March of 2021. Upon arriving at Canepa the Gulf Blue Porsche 911 Carrera was given a complete cosmetic and mechanical inspection, as a part of the “Canepa Difference” process. The original Gulf Blue paint, accented by the black leather interior and side “Carrera” script, was a classic look for the 911. Despite the great condition that it arrived in, Canepa put the Carrera through the “Canepa Difference” process to ensure that each and every system was in excellent condition. Canepa first went through the car mechanically to ensure that all systems were working in proper order. In a short period of time, Canepa identified and remedied a few items, including setting the ride height and alignment, and installing a new air conditioning compressor for the factory A/C system. Shortly after, Canepa’s automotive artisans in the detail department cleaned the entire underside of the car by hand, ensuring not a spec of dirt covered the original finishes of the Carrera. During this time the exhaust heat exchangers were refinished. The car was then polished using a multi-step foam pad procedure, enhancing the original glossy Gulf Blue paint. The black leather interior was given similar attention, cleaning each and every inch of the interior until it was as spotless as when it rolled out of the showroom floor. Included in the sale of this Carrera are its original sales documents, engine build records, books, tools, jack, and its spare wheel/tire. Now ready for its new owner, this 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe benefits from a very recent complete engine rebuild and the “Canepa Difference” process, ensuring that the new driver will enjoy countless miles and enjoyment for years to come. With its rare original Gulf Blue paint and black leather interior, and a 2.7L flat six engine paired to a 5-speed manual transmission, this classic Carrera is ready to put on another 50,000 miles and enjoy the open road.
