what was the vin?

 

I would imagine 100+

 

A complete restoration at Porsche Classic in Germany like this one will cost 250.000 euros.

They never show the VIN for customer cars

Extremely low print number ( 100 ) this is probably the rarest of all Porsche owners manuals out there.

Looking REALLY good, Jamie! Are those freshly plated hardware bits to the left in the one pic?

 

Thanks Rick! Yes, clean and ready to go back together! I am excited.. The car is not too far from you!

 

Can somebody read from this code wich year this intake is?
Is the last digit the year of production?

43 likely equals the number of weeks in 1975.

So my guess is: October 19th 1975 production date stamp used on a 1976 930 Turbo

 

Did you make that up? I've never heard counting weeks for any date stamping, if that's even a date stamping.

 

Steering wheels are date stamped with the week and year...

Interesting!

 

Hey Chris. I actually either read it on Pelican or someone told me.

Here are 2 engine parts from one of my cars. 35/5 and 34/4

Both parts from the same car.

Very cool. I've never heard that before.

 

Often weeks lower than the 12th week in any given year can be mistaken for months.

11 / 75? Is it March or November?

Car tires use the Week/Year coding too.

 

In general (steering wheel being the exception), parts that are easy access - wheels, seats, gauges, muffler, heat exchangers, turbocharger, etc., the date codes were month & year. For 3-liter Turbos, the Fuchs date codes were all month & year but it changed to week & year early in the 1978 3.3 liter Turbo production run.

 

Thx,so these should be correct for my 76 restoration.
I have here a fan/house that came back whit a engine resto from Germany.
Its the same finish as the one you posted a while ago,it's no anodizing but something else.
I asked the rebuilder,but they did not want to share there 'secret'
Might you know the name of this treatment?

I think this treatment is very close to the original
I have a few intakes here on hand all whit the /5 year code
One of them still has the beige dot,discussed earlier on this forum.
So i think this one is untouched.
The housing on the right was painted in the past,under the paint the same darker shade.
Also a factory pic of the past shows a dark intake.
Still i see also may resto's whit bright blasted alu around the engine.

Vargas,
That fan looks to be a later '87 on fan. Early fans did not have the vent holes in them.

 

Most likely a scam, but you never know.

Thx for the notice,so correct would be whitout the vent holes?
Looked trough pics i have on file,many seem to have the holes.

Whining about their lack of absolute power I agree is a bizarre criticism: the value of old cars lies in their 'time machine' power to transport us back to an earlier era, and re-live, or sample what was then state-of-the-art driving experience. My '23 Mercer 'only' has 80HP SAE, but is an incredible driving experience, and it would be nonsense to disregard it as 'underpowered' when it was, in it's day, the fastest car you could buy.

I doubt Turbos will ever achieve the status of the RS which ranks among one of the great sportscars of history. Every time a magazine does a 'top ten' list, you'll see the RS ranked with the likes of Mercer T-head Raceabout, Bugatti Type 35, or 250SWB. It's not just iconic, it's very high on the totem pole. The Turbo Carrera is certainly an extremely important milestone car: pioneer of turbo power, basis of a generation of sports racers, radical bad-boy stance and presence memorialized in posters on bedroom walls of teenage boys everywhere. Top 10 of the seventies; absolutely. Top 10 of history? Well these lists evolve over time, so maybe in a couple decades...
