I guess the competition heritage helped because I just read that Road & Track's Joe Rusz said "Porsche's heavy artillery for '76 is the Turbo Carrera, a dazzlingly fast road car that shares a common heritage with Porsche racing cars of the last few seasons". Road & Track also noted that the Turbo Carrera went through its slalom course at a "62.8 mph average breaking the record previously held by the Ferrari Boxer by 2.4 mph!" Wow. I guess that answers your question Image Unavailable, Please Login
here is a 75 that just poped up on e-bay. unfortunately it isn't stock/correct. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1975-Porsche-930-turbo-no-72-284-made-very-sharp-driver-3-3L-intercooled-/330671797615?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4cfd93356f
It really takes a hero to restore this car, just about every detail on the car is not correct, and it doesn't have its original engine. A few photos taken during the restoration of my 75 car. You can see the core of the engine being re-assembled, the finished engine with the KKK 3LDZ tubocharger in the foreground, the engine ready to be installed back and finally in place.

The 930 was shown in its definitive form at the Paris salon in fall 1974, and a nice press-kit was released. As you can see in the last graph, the power and performance increase over the 2.7 carrera (and 2.7 carrera RS, same engine) was substantial.

what a fantastic car you have there! literally better than new! impressed that you chaose to stay faithful down to the 3ldz. who is doing the work? pcb
That looks to be a Sackey/Bobileiff Miura like resto but on a 930. These quality restos will pull the market valuations with them. PCB
You can actually go and see this completed car in the SD area, perhaps just for inspiration. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=141079941&postcount=77 I don't know anything about restoring these, but as with all of you I'm definitely a fan. At any rate there are enough specialists to facilitate the cars being restored. They all have value and remember the EBay car is a 1975 and those are quite rare.
Hi, Sorry for the late reply. No, the ET lights were also occasionally used on 87-89 Coupes and Targas. AFAIK, there was no real reason for the factory doing this as the Copue and Targa had a fixed back window and many had them mounted in the back window like my Dad's 87 Turbo Coupe. Best regards, Dino

any idea what they will ask for it once completed? the red 75 which sold on e-bay is also worthy of the same treatment. unfortunatley the numbers matching 3.o motor in that car is probably long gone.
This one showed up on Pelican Parts, not mine. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/630804-original-1977-930-turbo-carrera-widebody-30k.html
Charles, its not for sale, its simply being kept there on behalf of German Porsche racing driver Willibert 'Willi' Kauhsen who sent it from Germany specially for the restoration, because the Porsche factory's prices are too high. It was shown at Rennsport Reunion also. See my earlier post: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=141101475&postcount=150 The restoration itself (everything done) cost $125,000. I know because I asked Brian Doherty and he was willing to share. So, if he was to sell this better-than-new 930, you can only imagine what he'd ask. FWIW Porsche Ag wants 250k Eu to do the same thing.
