930 Turbo Carrera

and change shorts.

 

There appears to be a nice '88 turbo targa for sale at Mecum this weekend, no affiliation.

 

Photos of S–CD 5711 being tested at Weissach from “Tribute to the Turbo Carrera”. This may be a preproduction '75 930 with ’75-style driver’s mirror and Deutschland decal on the engine lid.

Yes seemingly, here's a 1977 Turbo Carrera (I know, it looks rough. I didn't do that damage, but original is original):

Thanks Simon; you rarely see online images where you can make out the details on these decals. At the ’76 auction link that Jay posted there's an image that shows a similar decal to yours so perhaps differences between U.S. and RoW were: U.S. decals only in English, EPA emission information included, and use of “Turbo CID 182.6 Engine Family” vs. “911 Turbo 3.0l”.

holey geez. coole color

 

It is my understanding that the seller owns 7 other early early Turbos, and half a dozen 65 911's as well as a bunch of GT3RS.......... I think he just wants a change!!!

 

That would be correct.. every now and then he switches a few around. I can tell you though that all of his cars are in very nice condition with a number of them being excellently preserved and unrestored.

 

Here's the emission sticker for my US spec '77. Much the same as Simon's '77, plus the part number on the lower right.

...update, there may be a deal pending already on this car?

 

A once proud 1977 930 now a carcass for sale on eBay, chassis number 9307800341 - still with the ignition key:

These images show the loop oil cooler on the front right-fender for the 1977 930 model year. Did ’76 930’s have this same loop oil cooler or were they equipped with radiator versions as the ’75 930s?

'76 930, Peru Red with red interior. Amazing how 3 liter 930's continue to be listed as buy-it-now's on eBay.

Wow, looks like it sold quickly for $59k!

 

Silver 1976 Turbo Carrera, chassis number 9306800011 featured in the November 1975 issue of Panorama. The photo of the engine may be chassis number 9306800012 (does not appear to be a silver painted car) that was later stolen from the Los Angeles Road & Track office. Note, there is no decal on the engine fan housing.

My 1975 930 trunk data plate. I believe the plates for the 1975 930 model year were unique in that the series block was left blank and they were the only Porsche plates with this combination of weights: Total Permitted – 1470kg, Permitted Axle Load Front – 600kg, and Permitted Axle Load rear – 870kg. Does anyone have an image of a 1976 or 1977 930 trunk plate they can post?

Thanks Ed. Looks like the '76 930 plate weights are the same as the 934.
