Presented in its factory color of Bahama Blue over black leather upholstery, this 1974 Porsche 911 Targa has been modified in the style of a Carrera and equipped with a 911SC-derived 3.0-liter flat-six engine. It also features ported cylinder heads, larger intake runners, Nikasil cylinder liners, Carrera-spec brakes, thicker torsion bars, adjustable sway bars, Bilstein dampers, an aftermarket shifter, and more. Documentation dates back to 1987 showing the car was sold from Golden Classics of Beverly Hills, California, to an owner in New Jersey who eventually sold it to the current owner in 2011. This tastefully customized and upgraded Targa is now being offered for auction out of Indiana.

This 911 has been refinished in its rare factory-specified color of Bahama Blue (354) and modified with Carrera-style fender flares, a ducktail spoiler, and silver Carrera-script side graphics. Other details include a brushed stainless-steel Targa bar, a removable black roof panel, Hella H4 headlamps, a polished driver’s side mirror, a fender-mounted antenna, and 16” Fuchs-style wheels measuring 7” wide in front and 8” wide in the rear with Bridgestone Potenza S0007A tires. The seller describes the paint as in excellent condition with a few minor rock chips, detailed images are provided in the gallery.

The cabin has been reupholstered in black leather with charcoal carpeting and features RS-style door panels with cloth pull straps and aluminum window rollers. Other accessories include manually adjustable bucket seats, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, an aftermarket shifter assembly, and a Blaupunkt Detroit AM/FM cassette stereo. The seller reports the tachometer needle fluctuates, although all other gauges and accessories are working properly.

Power comes from a replacement 3.0-liter flat-six engine sourced from a 1979 Porsche 911SC and upgraded with larger intake runners, Nikasil cylinder liners, ported cylinder heads, and a 28-row brass oil cooler. The rebuilt engine was installed in 2010 and sends power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. The car also features Carrera-spec brakes and an upgraded suspension with Bilstein dampers, 21mm front and 27mm rear torsion bars, and adjustable 22mm sway bars front and rear. Service in 2020 includes new valve cover gaskets, fuel lines, and fuel injector cleaning. The spark plugs and fuel pump were also replaced in 2024. The seller notes the synchromesh is worn in the second and third gears and the transmission whines at speed when in fourth and fifth gears. The hood shocks need to be replaced and the front hood latch requires adjustments. Engine leak down and compression test results from April 2024 are provided below:

• Cylinder 1 - 135 psi - 2%
• Cylinder 2 - 138 psi - 1%
• Cylinder 3 - 138 psi - 1%

The seller would like you to know: “This 74 911 Outlaw is presented in the original factory color of Bahama Blue. The vehicle saw a bare metal window out respray and still looks great today. The original 2.7L was swapped with a stock-rebuilt 79 911 SC 3.0L engine and transaxle. The 79 3.0L with the desirable large port intake runners and heads.  Overall, this vehicle presents extremely well and can be used for both cruising and track duty. It is well received at any enthusiast meetup. The interior was originally tan and has been mostly replaced with Black throughout.  The paint is in excellent condition with a few rock chips and the Targa top presents well for its age. Detailed service records start in 1987 when the vehicle was purchased from Golden Classics from Beverly Hills, CA, and sold to an owner in Watchung, NJ with 73k miles.  Throughout his ownership, he kept detailed receipts of all state inspections, parts orders, service records, and many personal notes creating a detailed history of his ownership.  When the current owner purchased the vehicle in 2011 with 127,524 miles the documentation was passed along, and additional servicing was added. The vehicle has seen less than 4,000 miles since that time and has been completed by Farmer’s Automotive and Euro Motorworks in Indianapolis, IN.”
