thx in advance mike

[Fidalgo911S]

VIN will start with 91143XXXX

Engine shroud will be green. Motor is 911/93

Should have alloy front calipers.

Diameter of sway bars should be 20mm front and 18mm rear, IIRC.

Thank you the vin does start 911 410 3xxxx is this correct

[Fidalgo911S]

A VIN of 91141XXXX is a standard 911. For sure 91143 is the S. 91144 is US Carrera and 91146 is a Euro Carrera.

The standard 911 has a different motor (150hp), and a few other things. Same torque curve though.

Doesn't mean it's not a good car just because it's not an S....condition means a lot.

I have some bad news. Technically, it is not, and will never be, a real S, in the sense that an "S" is very fast on the top end and is worth a lot of money.

a 2.7L US car that is an 's' will have a green shroud - b/c it is similar to an "E" - a US '74 will have CIS injection, which works, but is not very sporty.

an early (aka, longnose) S will have a red shroud & MFI injection which sucks fuel but is very sporty

the hot item in a 2.7L car would be what is called a Euro Carrera, which is similar to an RS

all of these are terms you can run searches on & then read about them

Paul Frere's 911 book is the best thing to read tho


Now, that said, any 1974 is a very nice sleeper 911. They did not have the motor-killing early smog equipment on them (thermal reactors), have a number of upgrades, and often sell for a a very low price.

If you hate the bumpers you can convert to a the early car look.

or you can save some wt. by eliminating the shocks int he US bumpers and using Euro crush tubes.

a friend told me they started making carrera in 1984 is this true

[RWebb]

depends on what you mean by "carrera"

it used to mean something special as far back as the 356; in 1984 P AG used it to just mean a regular 911

All '74's, even the US version had the small rear bumperettes with a wide space between them.

Starting with '75 (and on), US cars (only) had much larger rear bumperettes with less space between them.
