I noticed that some 930 have the shark fins on the side, while others don't. I prefer my car without. Would this be period correct ?
Porsche started fitting them for the 1976 model year. Late-1975s may have also had them fitted (2 GOO, etc.) http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/143287754-post2670.html

I had inquired about this car when Symbolic acquired it a year or so ago; they had decided to hold on to it for a while. Looks like they are now bringing it to market.

'75 Japanese market 930 heading to Auction in December, would make a great Christmas present for someone. Looks like the tartan was added during the restoration, and I assume the Porsche script on the flanks were added then too, but looks nice, all the same.

Posted already that's okay Hard to say what the car had originally since they don't post the COA. The leather looked original when it was for sale in Japan but you never know with a 1975 Porsche so perhaps it originally had the tartan-dress front seats. Same with the Porsche script on the doors. If it was recently repainted, they should have filled the giant holes in the doors when it was molested with power mirrors and then just refit the manual driver's only mirror - lost opportunity IMO.
Press photo SVPA 148-76 celebrating Porsches World Championships for the 1976 racing season. The Group 5 (935) racing season was not a walk in the park for Porsche as BMW closed the championship points after Imola when the CIS ruled the airfoil support could not be used to house any mechanical devices which gave Porsche only 5 weeks to make the car legal. FIA Group 4 regulations (Porsche Turbo Homologation Nr. 645) stated the engine cover could not be modified but Porsche interpreted that aerodynamic aids in Group 5 allowed a simpler and lighter air-cooled intercooler but it was not allowed after Silverstone. The Youtube video below shows clips of the epic battle from the 1976 season.

1975 Porsche 911 Turbo | New York - Driven By Disruption 2015 | RM Sotheby's Let's knit pick: Shouldn't this Japanese car have this speedometer that's in my hand and not a Euro one? Mine is dated 8/75 so they clearly were making them in late 1975 for Japanese export cars. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Also, I haven't seen a dash that was black in a cork interior car (with pertinence to this Japanese 1975 once again). Usually the interior seats and side bolster color matches the dash. Is this a mistake in restoration or an anomaly and how they built 1975's sometimes? Image Unavailable, Please Login
We would need to see the Kardex or at least the COA to know the exact interior combination, I have seen some very odd and crazy interiors on 75's that Im sure couldn't be had on 76's and on
When it was imported to Japan post-1975, it probably had the red range markings added. The original production date of #0163 should be ~Apr/May '75 so the speedo was probably 2/75 or earlier without the Japan red range markings.
+1 - a black dash pad may have been available and was also in the 1975 with the unusual special wishes door panels. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Rich Do you know if the car on the first of the interior pictures exists? Have you seen the paint they did on that car, its crazy a kind of a 2 tone pearlescent paint
Wonder what the chassis number for this one is? 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo Coupe | Beverly Hills Car Club
I have not seen the exterior of the first car with red interior and unusual door panels but it was posted on the Porsche exclusive program website. It's difficult to tell from the photo but the exterior color looks similar to the left one below. Image Unavailable, Please Login
