In Paul Frere's Oct. 1974 road test in Road & Track he listed 2410 lbs as the curb weight, about 195 kg over the 900 figure! It did 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, just about identical with the '76-'77 Turbos! The list price in Germany was cited as approx. $25K. Clearly, the most desirable normally aspirated 911 on the planet, and as most were converted to RSR specs and raced, perhaps the rarest of all road-going 911's, with more likely fewer around on the street than the elusive'67-'69 911R! It had the brakes from a 917-30!!! The homologation weight was 900 kg. I wonder if the person who listed that eBay auction really is crazy enough to believe he will get any bids with a zero feedback record, and no picture of the car?
Incidentally, Matt, your RHD (right-hand drive) '74 Carrera Coupe was tested in the 28 Dec. 1974 issue of Motor, but the test car had 180 mph speedo, oil pressure gauge calibrated in psi, and oil temp gauge calibrated in Fahrenheit!!! USA gauges in a UK RHD model, what a combination!
