930 Turbo Carrera

The '75 manual should have an inked Chassis #. It would be odd for a 1976 Turbo to have been issued a 1975 manual.

 

Thx for the reply,did have a other look today.
Car was sold oct 75' i am convinced that the buyer got the 'new' model so a 76.
Still has the hand written vin nr service book of 75,and registration of 10/75
But in the end a 76 model.

 

And? did you buy it?

Beautiful wheels- my two early 76's came with wheels that had dates from 11/74 - 9/75. Harvey tells me this was fairly common on the low serial # 76's.

Beautiful wheels. The original style Fuchs will forever be as classic to Porsche as the coupe roofline of the 911 body style. Timeless!

 

54700km in the first year, about 15000km in the winter '75/'76, this car was not only driven on nice sunny sundays...

The 20000km and 60000km services were done much later, in the '90s, in the Netherlands.

And nice to see, another Turbo starting its life in Hamburg, my home town.

 

Odd...since it was delivered in 10/75, the 9/75 German 1976 model year service book should have been available.

Does anyone have 1976 Turbo manuals with earlier dates than these: German market (9/75), U.S. market Turbo Carrera (10/75), and British market (11/75).

 

It was delivered earlier,the first service was 10/75.
The registration title says 7/75.
Not sure if this is correct as the car was imported,and are know to be months off.
But for sure earlier as 10/75

 

Do not know if this was mentioned here before,but if sombody is looking for engine 6860291
Here it is:1977 Porsche 911S Targa with RARE 1976 930 Turbo Motor - Pelican Parts Technical BBS

 

7/75 is a very early 1976 model year registration. Can you share the chassis number? It would be interesting to learn the build date of 9306700011.

so a littlle gap ( Aug ) where cars were delivered with a 75 manual, waiting for september print as on photo (ebay). Did they forgot the update ?! Find no event in RFA at this time to justify this delay !

It’s also possible that the early 1976 Turbos with 930/50 engines had different relay setups that were the same as the ’75 Turbos (3 relays in the engine bay). The 3-relay setup is not depicted in the RoW 1976 Turbo Manuals (German market 9/75 and British market 11/75) so perhaps they continued to issue the 1975 manuals until they began printing the 1976 manuals that depict only one relay in the engine bay.

Very nice! I shelved my original wheels and have been running 15" RSR 8/9s, and Michelin TB15s. Just perused this TC on ebay with the exact wheel combination

great photo, love the 15" e50's .... anybody know how wide those wheels are? they look like 9 and 11's

 

might be a dumb question: Which tires to get for a 77 3.0?
I have the original 16" Fuchs wheels...

Thanks for any suggestion, am in Germany, so I guess a slightly different availability than in the US..

 

Nice photo with details of the RoW bumper reflectors and muffler tip on U.S. '76 #0011.
