Lime Green is one of Porsche's signature 1970s colors, and this Carrera still wears most of its original coat. A Certificate of Authenticity confirms the Lime Green paint and Cinnamon interior, and the sale includes the factory 2.7-liter engine and Whale Tail decklid even though a 3.0-liter SC engine and ducktail are fitted now. Bidding stands at $51,911 with 12 days remaining and five bids placed.1975 Porsche 911 CarreraCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowMarket data from Classic.com puts the 1975 US-spec Carrera 2.7 coupe benchmark at $107,624. Recent results include $139,000 in February 2026 and $85,000 on PCARMARKET in April 2026, with the lowest recorded sale at $52,000 in July 2023.This one sits near the benchmark. The rare color, original paint, and the inclusion of the factory engine and decklid support the number, while the swapped drivetrain, a repainted roof, and patina hold it back. Fair value lands between $95,000 and $130,000, with $110,000 most likely, since the original 2.7 coming with the car preserves most of its collector value.1975 Porsche 911 CarreraCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe originality story starts with the paint. The Certificate of Authenticity confirms Lime Green, paint code 137, and Cinnamon, along with Sport seats, and the seller notes the car was ordered with the side decal delete. Currently installed are factory 15-inch Fuchs wheels, body-colored headlight rings, yellow fog lights, a ducktail decklid, a power sunroof, and leather upholstery. Two keys and the Certificate of Authenticity accompany the sale.1975 Porsche 911 CarreraCars & BidsThe drivetrain has changed, with the original parts retained. A 3.0-liter flat-six from a 911 SC, reportedly built by Kelly Taylor, is installed, and the factory 2.7-liter engine and Whale Tail decklid come with the car. The 2.7-liter engines of this period are known for head stud problems, which is a common reason owners moved to the stronger SC unit. Records dating to 1979 are included and available on request.1975 Porsche 911 CarreraCars & BidsCosmetics reflect age. The seller states the roof was repainted to fix a scratch, and the listing discloses patina and wear on the factory paint and trim, chips on the front valance, an imperfection on the hood, and wear on the seats and touch points. Paint protection film covers the hood, headlights, fog lights, and parts of the fenders. A pre-purchase inspection should include a compression test and a check of the stored 2.7.1975 Porsche 911 CarreraCars & BidsThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePorscheModel911 Carrera CoupeYear1975Mileage77,300 miles shown on a five-digit odometerEngine3.0-liter 911 SC flat-six, factory 2.7-liter includedPowerNot specified by the sellerTransmissionFive-speed manualDrive typeRear wheel driveExterior colorLime GreenInterior colorCinnamon leatherCurrent bid$51,911 with 12 days remainingInterested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the 1975 911 Carrera uniqueThe Carrera name sat at the top of the 1970s 911 range. The US-spec Carrera of 1974 and 1975 carried a 2.7-liter flat-six, the wider rear fenders, and in 1975 the distinctive Whale Tail spoiler, and it became one of the most recognizable early 911s. These cars were the last of the long-hood era before the larger-engined models arrived.1975 Porsche 911 CarreraCars & BidsColor has become a major driver of value. Lime Green was offered on 911s and 914s for only a few years in the mid-1970s, and Porsche brought it back as Greenyellow through Paint-to-Sample, which shows how strongly it still resonates. An original-paint example in that color is far rarer than a restored one, which is why this car's preserved finish matters.My takeAt $51,911 with five bids and 12 days to run, my call is $110,000, with $130,000 reachable if a collector values the original Lime Green paint and the retained factory engine. What makes it attractive is how much originality survives, since the color, the Certificate of Authenticity, and the inclusion of the 2.7 and the Whale Tail give a buyer the option to return it to stock. What tempers it is the current state, because the swapped engine, a repainted roof, and a five-digit odometer with uncertain total mileage all cost it with purists. Inspect the stored 2.7, then bid.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
