Video from the period. You can't get much more original than these images. Make sure you put aside 18 minutes of your time before hitting play as that is the running length. [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e0apMExVLzw[/ame]
Glad this was finally uploaded to YouTube. I could not get the VHS to copy. Thanks for posting. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144753018-post6293.html
ReyF, may I ask you if the pictures you have posted are from #274 ? Looks like it has been brought back to the original Salmon Metallic (as per Ryan's registry), can you confirm? From the picture the shade seems more like Copper (and I would like to understand having myself a PTS Copper Metallic that I need to bring back from a Black re-paint in the '80s). Thanks for sharing.
Nice power slide photo of the oak green metallic 1977 Ruf 3-liter Turbo. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Great interior photos of a Porsche 934. Note the smooth 1975-style door panels, 1976 model year plastic turn and light levers, 10K RPM tach in place of the speedometer, and stock 3-liter A/C type tail. Chassis # 9306700157, entered by Achilli Motors/Tam Auto Tuning and placed 4th at the 1976 Targa Florio.

Has anyone run across any other photos of the Turbo at the the 1975 Barcelona Motor Show? I wonder what color it was. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Recently discovered to have been uploaded to YouTube. Video states: "Published on Jan 26, 2017 Embark on board the Porsche 930 3L Turbo "Widow Maker" from 1976, completely restored by Slate Gray and enjoy the sound of the Flat 6!" [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s-ieayUfu1I[/ame]
Hello everybody We have an important correction to this previous post, The vin of the stolen turbo has mistakenly been mistyped The correct vin for the stolen turbo is 9305700223 The vin in the original post was stated as 9305700023 this is wrong and the involved parties has been informed, i deeply apologize for this. If any questions please don't hesitate to contact me Regards Thomas
Today we did a start-up inspection of my newly acquired MY75 with a top Italian expert (930 MY75 owner himself as well) and we defined how to proceed with the big job ahead. One interesting detail we just discovered: the back axle rims are not the 930 originals but are a rare pair of original 9x15 Fuchs produced in 1975! What do you think, it would be better to go for full originality (installing back the 8x15) or keep the period correct (and cool) upgrade of the 9x15 of RS/RSR flavor?

You know they might be the original rims. On many cars when the Porsche factory ran out of the model specific parts Porsche would up grade the car to a higher spec if they had those parts available. I purchased new a late edition of a 1973 911T which had so many S parts the Dealer mechanic actually ask me if it was really a T or S. He should have known as it had CIS injection and all the S cars of that year had mechanical injection. So your rims may have come with the car?
It is possible that 9 x 15's were installed on car when new - if it were me I'd hedge my bets and get a set of correct date 8 x 15's to have as well, not that much money in the grand scheme of a full on resto. Do you have any build info like a COA, kardex or window sticker. Phil
Get a set of 7J/8J x 15 as well during restoration, as Phil mentioned it is not much money in the scheme of a restoration. If your 930 was delivered from the factory with 9x15 as a special request (or as a production line change), it would have been listed on that card you posted earlier. Of course, the dealer could have possibly changed them out for the buyer.
I have a '75 Turbo and would love to have '75 Fuchs wheels to it. Just in case you do not need them and want to bring originality to another car. I'm in Switzerland too. ;-)
Interesting 75 just popped uo in Germany, no affiliation: Porsche ++3.0 Ur-Turbo, EZ 75, OHNE SD, 1.HAND++ als Sportwagen/Coupé in HAMBURG
Does anyone know of any period photos (print/Web) of the interior of the 1973 Turbo prototype? I’m wondering if the tartan material was replaced when the car was converted to right-hand drive. The black watch tartan material on the car today differs from the 1975 production version in that it is a closer match to “Forbes” tartan.

Unfortuate the incorrect tartan was used for that prototype car. A few pics of a restored 3 liter with red turbo stripes, much like another turbo prototype. Note the McLaughlin interior.. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm not sure it is incorrect as it could be original but there is no way to confirm unless original period photos of the interior exist. Red turbo graphics look nice on black - I wonder if that is original?
