Question for the pros Without having a photo, what would a suggested value be on a real 75 turbo one of the first 100 vin's, complete but rebuild with slant nose, WEIMANN build, rear flares wrong wheels, 3.3 engine, though original 4 speed transmission. It’s a car that would need a complete restoration to be back to original. What would the 75 vin make it worth, just shoot and make a guess thanks for any help Not the car but this is the style http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_935#/media/File:1981_Porsche_935_K3.jpg
Hello to all, I recently bought a late 1977 3.0 turbo. My car is not equipped with a brake servo, and according to the last owner that he had the car for 25 years there was never a servo. From what I read in the forums... the 75 and 76 cars came without servo BUT the 1977 had servo !! My car is a UK supplied Right Hand drive car. Any ideas ?
Hello, The car have the 16" wheels and also a boost gauge. It was a UK supplied Right Hand Drive and a very late car ( Among the very last row produced in 1977 ) Regards
Ultimately most fully restored cars have a similar value once they get to a certain price threshold according to others so far. Excellent unrestored originals are in a different category.The 930 may be different but doubt it. So if you don't need to sell it and think the 930 is still undervalued etc.etc.
The LHD Carrera 3.0 had a brake servo in 1977 but the RHD ones did not. The brake servo didn't come in on RHD cars until the 1978 model year 911SC so I suspect it was a similar case with the Turbo.
The ideal buyer would have most/all of the parts needed so that would change the value. So whats a nicely restored 75 worth? I would think to the guy with the parts and skills to put it back it could be worth some serious $$$$. Just locate the needle in the haystack. The ideal buyer that comes to mind is Peter Dawes as he has built lots of race cars in the past and I heard he is now using the parts he removed and saved to put 930s back to original. Also some of the parts in your car might have a value to him. Good luck.
Hey guys, I have been interested in getting my own 930 for a while and have just now been able to financially look at getting one. I have read this entire thread and am really impressed with all the great information. There are a couple mid 70s on ebay now that are all over the place price wise, i was looking at two 1977s that are 60k apart, anyone know why?

Both of those cars need quite a bit of work- the red one is advertised in a few different places, started out on pelican for $125k, the green one was originally listed in hemmings for $162.5k- I doubt either car will sell for close to those asking prices. Don't confuse ebay bids for what cars will be sold for. Phil
Michael Cotton's Porsche 911 Turbo Book also mentions that RHD Turbos did not receive them until the 3.3 Liter model: "The provision of servo for all markets (new for Britain, and increased in size compared to the previous year) was by now a necessity, for without it the brakes would have been intolerably heavy."
Thank you for your reply great help ! I bought the car from a Friend and he told me that the car never had servo.... but he got the car when it was around 10 years old and I was afraid that maybe the 1st owner did any change !and removed the servo !
The CoA for my 1977 Silver Turbo just arrived. It was originally equipped with the black/red tartan seat inlays. Any leads on where to find the correct material. Being Scottish I can find the generic black/red tartan but I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the version offered by Porsche? Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'd ping Tony at autobahn - Scottish Weavers has some awesome tartan fabrics- there is one other place- let me do a little digging. Phil

Photo from the Oct 1973 Riverside Raceway IROC program that shows a Carrera RSR 3.0 arriving for the first IROC races. Even though the 15 Carreras (12 racing and 3 for practice and backup) were RSRs, they still had Carrera RS 3.0 fender flares that Porsche would use in slightly modified form in the production 930 Turbos. The IROC 3.0 RSRs were also equipped 15x11 and 15x9 Fuchs wheels and this example was delivered with a rear whale tail (some were delivered with ducktails) that would also be used and slightly modified for the production 3.0 Turbos. The DNA of the IROC racers becomes apparent in the photos used for the 1975 factory brochures and owners manual.

It's interesting that turbo pictured above has what look like a hybrid of turbo/RSR flares. the IROC has flares very similar to 73 RSR flares. Gib Bosworth has a nice thread on the early S registry explaining the difference. Phil
The photo in the brochure does look like a hybrid of flares. In addition, notice that it doesnt have a plastic spoiler and on 930 Turbos, the spoiler can create some issues with wheel offset interference when using 15 x8/9 inch Fuchs wheels on the fronts (even with the spacers removed). The flare widths were the same between the RS 3.0 and 930 Turbo but Porsche slightly changed the shape for the Turbos to better allow the use of street tires and the additional requirement for extra space to allow snow chains for 930 Turbos (something they did not have to worry about for the Carrera RS/RSR).
The IROC RSR pre-dated the 1974 Carrera 3.0 RS and RSR and were built using the Carrera 2.7 MFI chassis, and modified with flares, bumpers, etc. Great photo of one of the three IROC RSR air freighted to California...cool to see that they were fitted with the whale tail (as the first 12 all had ducktail when they were shipped over). Rich, interesting to hear about the reason for the flare change between RSR and 930...I always wondered, but it makes sense a street car could require a different profile.
Photos from the same 1973 Riverside IROC race program show some with the ducktail and some with the whale tail. By the first Oct '73 IROC race, they all had whale tails.

Vasek Polak featured the Can Am 917 Turbo in this 1973, 2-page Porsche-Audi & BMW color advertisement. Its rare to see vintage photos of the production cars on Vasek Polaks showroom (in print or on the web) so Ive enlarged the Porsche + Audi building to provide a glimpse of what was there in 1973. Vasek Polak had the latest and greatest from Porsche...for the road and track.
