You're welcome! I needed them for my 1974 2.7 Carrera, and it took a while to find them as the original part number is a VW part number and is NLA...

first ride - 10 yrs old in a 73 911S - Silver - I was done for
Started 'playing' with them in the late 80s
Started racing a 72 911 T built to 2.9L RSR in SoCal SCCA, PCA, POC early 90s
Have owned over 50 long hoods from late 80s until 2000
dropped out from 2000 - 2018 - due to life, work, travel
Been building a 2.8 'RSR' inspired car since 2018 - 9111121235

Is that your Birch Green Carrera? So funny, because if so, here's mine:

Yep... a USA 1974 early 2.7, that I am making into a 2.7 MFI... In LichtGrun - code 253
Yours looks great! I wonder how many lichtgrun colour code 253 carreras there are?
Here is mine in almost the same angle...

Both of those Carreras are SWEET!

I love it! I LOVE a ducktail! I just imported mine to the US and am in the process of getting it dialed in. I'm not sure about US-spec versions but I think mine may be the only one that left the factory in Code 253 as a MY1975.
Yeh. I'm a sucker for a ducktail!
Is yours a RoW original 2.7 MFI car?
I don't think there are many in either US or RoW spec that were code 253... I saw it and that was it, had to have it, and I let it go once, then it came around again, and I bought it... Even my wife nodded her head and loves the colour...
I keep a rough spreadsheet of the 2.7 carreras - the only serial number I see for 1975 RoW cars with code 253 is 9115600123. Is that yours?
This is the info I have for that car...
engine -66501777&8s Fuchs, Carrera black script on door, Bilstein dampers, Dunlop tires
gearbox - 7850151
Colour - lichtgrun - 253
Interior - Midnight Leatherette/Shetland code 14
German delivery
Options from factory -
i think it was restored by Roock
If you have a different VIN, I'd love to capture it in my spreadsheet
for 1974 I know of 1 USA car - mine - and 4 RoW cars
Welcome to a very small club!!!
Cheers
Dave

Although that's not my car, I'm 5600028, it's a very similar build sheet. Yes, mine is an original ROW Carrera. I'm the 4th owner. Its Fahrzeugbrief is featured in Ryan Snodgrass' book. This car was at Air/Water last weekend: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Y1tOWr...RlODBiNWFlZA==
