Yet another engine # question

Hi Guys Newbie here.

I have a chance at what I thought was a Euro 1974 911 Turbo. Wide body, flares. badged turbo etc.

Very delicate negotiations...One lady owner, garaged sinced 84 !

No pictures allowed ...

Here they are..Thanks in anticipation.

911 4 6 0 0 966

6 6 4 1 335

Cheers
Steve

911 4 6 0 0 966
911=type 911
4=1974
6=Carrera
0=coupe
0966=sequence number

According to the source I used, a turbo would have a 7 instead of a 6 as the fifth digit in the above VIN


6 6 4 1 335
6=6 cylinder
6=Carrera, 3.0L or 3.0L RS engine
4=1974 model year
1335=sequence number

A turbo would have a 7 instead of a 6 as the second digit in the engine sequence.

No, not a turbo, but it is a 1974 Carrera RS with the 2.7MFI engine & 210 bhp

It's an Impact Bumper Euro Carrera. Limited production between 74-76. Same engine as the 72-73 RS. They fetch between $100-300k.

And for those keeping score, there were no 1974 turbos. Turbo production started in the 1975 model year.

It's a 1974 Carrera coupe, sometimes called a Carrera 2.7. The 1974 Carrera RS was a very different car.
