Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Several small chips on and around the nose, plus some paint is chipping off the right headlight bezel. A few chips on the door edges as well. The exterior plastic is in good shape. Very well kept original interior with only light wrinkling to the front seats. A 69,665-mile car and not exactly like-new, but very well preserved for a40-plus-year-old unrestored sports car. These mid-70s Carreras are also relatively rare in the U.S.
Market commentary
The rest of the world got a much more potent version of the Carrera 2.7 engine, while here in America the Carrera was pretty much just a cosmetic upgrade from the standard 911S. They're on the affordable side as far as vintage 911s go, and while prices have been brought up over the past year or so, the consignor here is ahead of the curve. Even with the premium for its impressive level of preservation, it's not really worth any more than the reported high bid.
