    wasn't this one for sale for about $80k? I wouldn't want it as there is spec of dirt at the bottom of the hood crest :)

    At the beginning of this thread I posted about the 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo as the spiritual ancestor of the thread's subject, the Carrera Turbo.

    This past weekend, the second of only four Martini Works Turbo 2.14s SOLD for $3,245,000 including commission at Gooding & Co.'s Amelia Island Auction 2012.

    Check it out.
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQWpi7tBjOU[/ame]

    The 1976 934 sold for within estimate (circa $900,000) and the 1976 935 sold for $2,530,000 all-in.

    A full report here:
    http://dedeporsche.wordpress.com/tag/brp-can-am-spyder-roadster/

    I guess 70s turbocharged Porsches have some value after all...

    sad to see Matt's cars sell. i was so hoping the estate would keep the cars in Matt's honor. the 934 rsr would seem to have been bargain purchased.

    Beautiful example. Also noticed no stone guards are rear fenders. I'm so used to seeing them on most 930s that I find it odd not seeing them. Still a beautiful example.

    Is that the window sticker on the passenger window or just a description of the car (as it looks like its at a museum/show)?

    Best regards,
    Dino

    Yes indeed minus stone guards it does look like something is "missing". Not sure if that's a description or the original window sticker..

    It looks VERY much like the original window sticker...I'll go out on a limb :D and say, yes it is.

    Joe thanks for posting the video of the RSR. incredible car. i was hoping to hear it drive off the stage instead of being pushed. i imagine this was the same car I saw at RR in 2004.


    this is an incredible collection i was not aware of.

    It appears this is the same car, and it is noted as a 1977 3.0 930...

    Simply beautiful...although I think Dr. Porsche had the right idea with Oak Green. Also, the look of the flared fenders without stone guards is growing on me.

    European car.

    Don't know the ask. I think this car is 'driver' standard though. Please contact him at the e-mail I provided above. He will also know of the best cars in Europe that might be available but unadvertised (in my experience, these days this is the way the best change hands).

    I honestly think we are getting to the point with global economics where it will be worth bringing a nice one into the USA, thus, the tide might begin to turn. Any truly nice example I know of in the USA is thought to be worth six figures by the owner, and David Mohlman (DJM Consultants) confirms same..
