Found a 75 Carrera, in my favorite 911 color, so I could not let it slip by.

It's #171, and it's been sitting in a garage covered since the early 90's, untouched.
So, gas tank is coming out, all the CIS rebuilt ect. Seller said it ran when parked so I'm hoping for the best

I'll have better pics soon, but for now this is all I got.

a real one??? If so an absolutely fabulous buy! Those cars are really undervalued

your favorite 911 color is shit brown? To each their own!

Congrats on your purchase!

Jen

Yep, a real one. It's a US car, I believe 177 coupes were made in 75.**correction 395coupes** This is 171, but I don't have my red book in front of me to confirm.

It's decent. Has some rust issues, but nothing terminal. The interior is very nice, and everything looks OE and not changed.

Ferg

Yep Every time I change my kids diaper, I say, man I wish my car was this color

Ferg

Ha! No, I think Baby-Shit-Brown is a different shade than regular shit-brown.

Seriously, it looks clean. Can't wait to see more pics of it.

Jen

NO!...NO, FERG!...BAD!...NO!...NOW OUTSIDE...!




Just kidding, that is a really cool car and looks to be in excellent shape. Congrats.

Very cool Ferg!

I like the color too but I confess to be a sucker for unusual colors. It the outside mirror supposed to be body color? Keep us informed on the progress!

John

Not sure about the outside mirror, I just did some google searching and I think they are body colored...

Just heard from the wrench, gas tank is shot but they have a good used one, $$$

Ferg

Nice!
First Dijon and now brown.
Cool find and I hope all works out.
Chris

Mocha kind of grows on you-Nice find-I like the different colors also -We have a light blue 911SC

Chocolate Carrera

Enjoy

Ferg, Ferg, Ferg...

Sepia Brown.

Ferg, Ferg, Ferg...

I guess I can't talk since I'm the Delphi Green lover.

But Sepia Brown?

Ferg, Ferg, Ferg...

It's NOT Sepia, it's Bitter, or Mocha. Darker and more poop like than Sephia.

1st grade.
A nine eleven. AN assdragger.

you bought AN assdragger... not A assdragger

Sorry, I saw Brian a bit ago, and it has not worn off yet...

Ferg

sorry so stupid! i could do the research, or someone could bring me up to speed.

thanks, paul

My condolences ...... it should make a nice donor car.

Yeah, whatever... that's Sepia. I seriously doubt there is much, if any difference in the two colors.


I don't doubt for a second though that it's probably a pretty nice car.

Ferg,
If real can be defined as physically present, then mine is real too... However, if you are like me, you will find yourself wanting to sell it in a couple of years to fund the 914 and free up garage space. It looks like you have a very nice car on your hand, with a rare color combo.

Ken

What the !!!!!
Ya know I'm not even a part of this and I get Krap... Nice car ferg, now go wash it...

Couple of years?!?! Ferg won't keep that car 6 months.

Whye due you speand sooooo much thyme correcting people's uses of werds?

Well, I (read) red through this thread and didn't see it yet. Let me be the first to congradulate you on the purchase of the new 6 donor... It will make a nice 914 happy..

Ferg...you'll have to switch to a different color tape...blue will clash like hell....

That is the same TURD color that my Dad's car is. That car is still stinkin' up my garage!

No really, it looks like a nice car.

Great find Mike. Glad that you were able to spend your sons college funds on a 911, that I am sure he will love when he is old enough to drive.LOL
Now you can hang with the assdragger list.

Don't let them talk you down, Ferg! Mocha can be a very nice color, especially with polished fuchs...

Hey, now you can get a license plate frame that says "My other car is a 914"

I just want to know where you're going to put it

I've come to the conclusion that even the biggest garage is two bays too small.

Nice looking car, I'd love to see that running a 3.6L

Jenny,

I bought a 74 a couple of years ago. Same color.

Son, John, and wife Joan have given it a nickname.

Turd on 4 wheels. They either like it or do not, I can never
tell with them.

I am going to have to paint it a different color,
but they will probably make the nickname stick.

There is a rustoleum paint color that matches.

Sooooooo.....

If you are waxing your taildragger.... are you "Polishing a Turd?"

If the shoe (or the toilet paper) fits............

So how many of your 914's are for sale to make room for the donor err 911?

is that a real 930 slant nose??

"something" will be for sale in the future. I will not know what until I have some wheel time behind the 911.

Seller had one of the nicest orig 66 Shelby GT350's I've seen. It had the perfect amount of patina and was all correct that I could see. He bought it in 1977 in Chico CA for 3900!!!!

On a side note the 911 fired up today. (after a new gas tank, pump, lines, fuel dist ect ect$$$) I should be picking her up tomorrow to spin the wheels for the first time since who knows how long.

Ferg

Is this the same as 356 Togo Brown?

I know someone with a nice original 1974 911 Carrera for sale at $26,000. It has about 72,000 miles, 1-owner, Black with tan interior. It has won several top side concours. Is the '74 a good Carerra to own?

And yeah it has been dubbed " CHOCO-RERRA " So it is. So it shall be. Verillee and forsooth yon wench, off with thine head and othersuch poppycokery

Ferg,

If I was you, I'd trade that for a prestine Red '74 with 27K original miles.

Great find man,

Dipshit

Congrats, Ferg! (although you really seemed hooked on the poop colors )
