    It doesn't appear that Porsche created a Japanese market specific 930 until 1977. Japan road regulations followed US regulations very closely, including requiring same headlights, reflectors, etc. It appears that 1976 Japanese delivered 930s using both the North American spec (930 680 XXXX chassis number range) as well as rest-of-world chassis. From what I can tell, both then had a few modifications done by Mitsuwa (or possibly the factory). This included opening up the speedometer and applying a clear decal with the red lines from 100 km/h onwards. In 1977, Japanese 930s received a special engine (type 930/54) and were built using RoW chassis numbers. Has anyone researched the Japanese market 911 and 930s from the mid-1970s in more depth? I'd love to hear more.

    The GP White Symbolic 930 looks great with red interior and Turbo side script.

    Great article on Walter Röhrl at the wheel of Ferry Porsche’s 3 liter Turbo in the October 2014 issue of Classic Porsche. Röhrl’s own Porsche collection includes a 1973 Carrera RS and silver 3.3 liter Turbo. From the article: “…there’s no question: Walter’s smitten, freely admitting I’d love to have this in my garage.”

    I was finally able to source a 1975 German Language edition of the Porsche factory 930 workshop manual (this one is different - I am not a workshop manual hoarder :)). This 1975 edition has all diagrams and figures labeled as: “930-turbo”. One image depicts a service mechanic working on a gearbox and you can make out the serial number – “7750011” (7 - trans for 6 cyl engine; 7 - 4 speed 930/30; 5 - 1975; and 0011 - consecutive serial number). Perhaps 0011 was the first legendary 930 4-speed gearbox ever made.

    VINs of this era were 10 digits (9306800215). The 5 was truncated in the text.

    Yesterday the quoted VIN on the advert was 9306800011 while the VIN in the picture is 9306800215. Could have been a typo that has been corrected?

    I think 9306800011 would have made it one of the first 400? 9306800215 would have put it after the 934's?

    So am I correct in thinking that the last 4 digits where the order they where built regardless as to weather it was a 93067 or a 93068?

    12/75 sounds correct for 0215. 0014 had an 8/75 build date and this was probably the same date for 0011 to 0014.

    The last four of the chassis numbers do not necessarily reflect the build dates and they were probably independent between RoW and U.S. models.

    A great new website was launched yesterday, the brainchild of Simon Kidston, a well known car dealer based in Europe. It has a clever market indicator which calculates the investment potential of a wide selection of models, I think it is very well executed, with acurate information. I of course looked up the 3.0 turbo, and was pleased to see it mentions its 'Le Mans Classic' eligibility, which many people do not know. Have a look at...

    No radrickroth, It must have been an oversight in the description when they first posted it I think?

    It now has the same number listed in the description as the number on the photo in the gallery.

    The way I understand it??? the engine number and chassis numbers are quite close to each other in that era.
