When brought to Terry Worick Restorations, this 1974 911 was very well preserved and highly-original. Because of this, and the unique factory color Lime Green, the decision was made to restore it to its deserved condition. Fortunately, the car was in much better condition than many of the cars TWR commonly restores: The car was completely in original paint (never any paint work), the majority of the interior was in useable condition, and the underside of the car was virtually rust-free. All of the factory systems were completely intact and the car had not been altered from stock. Most of the components were original factory components or equivalent replacement parts.
A basic full rebuild of the engine was performed. It was largely in very good condition so it did not have any serious problems. During the rebuild process, all of the external engine fasteners were sent out for a fresh zinc plating. The cylinder heads were completely reconditioned with new valves and guides. The engine was upgraded to pressure-fed chain tensioners. The CIS system received a cleaning, new gaskets and seals, and new Bosch injectors. The system was tested and adjusted and is in good working order. The result is a fresh engine that works extremely well and should be trouble-free for years.
Terry Worick Restorations addressed the necessary issues on this car to bring it back to excellent condition, and the car now runs and drives like new. In terms of originality and overall condition, this may be one of the best 1974 911 cars in the country.
