The successful 911 Carrera RS of 1973 was so impressive to the buying public, Porsche knew that it had to continue the theme with its next iteration of 911, the G-Series of 1974-1977. An exciting and visceral successor, the updated car utilized a newer, stronger chassis with reinforced door panels and aluminum “impact” bumpers. The new G-Series received an improved 2.7L unit, skillfully reworked to produce torque across a wide rev range and better acceleration over its 2.4L predecessor.

Indeed the increasingly popular “mid-year” G-Series received the best of what Porsche had to offer during a transitional period for the automotive industry. The result was a classic shape that lasted through to 1989 with original and early examples offering a glimpse into understanding how the company navigated such time.

Among the last of the 2.7L G-Series is the 1977 model offered here The original owner purchased the new car at Continental Porsche/ Audi in Portland, Oregon on June 29, 1977. The car was equipped with optional forged alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks, center console, black trim, factory air conditioning, and an electric sliding roof among others. In addition to the great choice of optional extras, the car is very well colored, wearing its current configuration of Burgundy Metallic over Black leather. It’s powered by a correct 911/85 2.7L/157bhp flat-6, with K-Jetronic continuous fuel injection and a type-915 5-speed transmission, no. *717 6429.

The car was awoken from a 10-year slumber in 2018, now in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan with less than 53,000 miles recorded. Invoices show fluid and filter refreshening, a clutch adjustment, new bushings, seals, tires, and more. In October of that year, the car was treated to various cosmetic updates including headliner repair along with adjustments to the manual window regulators and the removal of pesky wiring related to an aftermarket radar detector. The current owner acquired the car in the fall of 2020 with a mere 54,000 miles recorded and continued with sympathetic treatment.

Today the car’s history file includes the original dealer paperwork, purchase order, window sticker, books, and manuals, along with toolkit and spare wheel.
