This 1974 Porsche 911 is described by the seller as a time capsule with less than 50,000 original miles and many factory details still intact. It wears a fairly rare shade of paint know as Salmon Metallic, which thankfully looks better than the name would indicate. It does have one repaint in its past to fix some chronic clearcoat issues Porsche was experiencing at the time, but aside from that, it doesn’t appear to have been messed with. Find it here on eBay with two bids to $29K.

The seller notes that the repaint was done in as restrained of a manner as possible, not touching the door jambs, engine compartment, or front trunk. The repaint also took care not to cover up any factory stickers, so it’s really the best outcome if the original paint had failed. The body looks incredibly correct going down the sides, with the seller noting  very satisfying vault-like quality to the structure. All glass is said to be original.

The interior is sharp, with attractive, non-sport buckets and a dash with one crack noted. The seller points out that the carpet is another great example of the high levels of originality on display as the 911 retains its 74-75 only carpet that featured a polyester nylon material that can’t be found today. The cabin retains its original Blaupunkt radio and factory instrumentation. The seller notes the seats have been professionally recovered at some point.

The 2.7L flat-six is said to run out well, with no smoke or other issues noted. Recent maintenance includes an oil and filter change along with new belts and plug wires. The engine bay presents nicely, as not being overly detailed but also not soaked in oil or other leaks. As described in the listing, long-hood 911s left the station long ago; now may be the time to get into an early ’74 car that was spared the notoriously finicky thermal reactor and other emission controls.
