Big shout out to Glory Transport, they did a very nice job bringing the Signal Orange 74 to It's new home in Daytona Beach FL.

I'm 914 less for the first time in 7 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) for those wondering why I sold it, this car will be coming my way very soon. (Flame Suit On!)

I'm not leaving 914's though, I still know they are the better car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nice. Real 74 Carrera?

Edit:
Nevermind just saw your signature, 75 Carrera. I usually don't like the painted wheels, but those look great.

Yes, real 75 Carrera. 391 out of 395 coupes built in 75.

The brown is a favorite of mine... it's lighter than this picture shows. I'm odd like that, red and yellow are at the very bottom of my color list.

New owner of the signal orange 74 2.0 is Phil.

I like the brown two-tone too just cuz it's diff'ernt. I also like the whale tails too, so I am definitely not right in the head by common consensus (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

A couple junkyard T4s, some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and get those wheels converted to 3-pc with some Hoosier Rs, and.. and.. and... I have all sorts of great ideas for your money hahaha.

The whale tail definitely has to stay - these cars will be the new 'early 911', everyone will be after them and they're pretty sought after now by people in the know -does it have the same 210hp motor as the RS?
I wonder how it survived as brown all these years.

US cars had the same low HP 2.7 as a regular 75 911. 165hp IIRC.

No it won't be for sale any time soon. This is as close to a "dream car" as it get's for me, aside from a Pantera.

It is coming with a 3.2 Andial built motor with 46mm webbers that will most likely find it's way into the car along with a sport exhaust. I will not be doing anything to this car that is not reverseable though, and with two kids track time is not happening.

Very, very nice!!!

Even tho it had it's issues, my '75 911S Silver Anniversay Edition coupe was one of my fave Porsches! She always ran hot in the summer tho... I didn't know about needing different oil coolers and all that stuff back then. I had come from a '68 911L and a '73 T, and never had temp issues with them, so I figured Porsche knew it all about how to build their cars!

And, like you, I actually liked some of the Porsche brown paints they offered!!!

Would love to see it back here in Michigan this summer, but probably too long of a drive for that classic! Enjoy her!
