The read plates with 04xxx were dealer and manufacturer plates. If You wanted to do a test drive a non registered car at a dealer, the dealer did put these plates on the car. Not Only for manufacturer testing, they were used widely.
It could be they were also used for dealers but I think it's very likely S-04664 is a Porsche test plate if the green Turbo is the ONS Turbo and that the silver Turbo had the rear wiper correctly positioned before it reached a dealer.
Yes, the poster does have a mix of photos. Theres also an interior photo taken from the 1975 911 brochure.
1976 Turbo featured in the July 1976 LÁutomobile magazine. Delivered with Gazelle Metallic paint, optional Turbo graphics and air conditioning. The 300 KPH speedometer appears to only have 150 KMs present and theres also a decal on the Turbo valve housing. Also note the standard press designation of Turbo vs. 911 Turbo for the European market.

we've had spring like weather, so tempted to pull the car our, but I'm worried about any remaining salt. I appreciate all the photos to keep me dreaming for spring!

Someone earlier asked about factory floor mats. I'm helping a friend revive his very original 44k mile '76 930, and it came with a set of these black woven mats front and rear. They feel like tough rope...very high quality and they've held up very well! Were these factory optional mats for the '76s? What was the option number? The reason I think they are factory is that my '66 911 came with mats that featured the exact same rectangular center rubber section with the same odd PORSCHE script. My '66 mats were definitely installed at the factory...they were listed on the order sheet and on the factory invoice as "9189 Sisal". The weave is much finer than the '76 mats and is more like a grasscloth. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
S CJ 6701 also appeared in the 1976 Porsche calendar set. Note that the driver's mirror is cropped from the photo so it's not possible to determine if it's a 1975 or 1976 model year. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/145149611-post6883.html Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

It has no shark fin stone guards on rear flares, which typically indicates a 1975, though it was possible to request no stone guards on the Turbo in any year.
Good point..without shark fins and a manual driver's mirror, S CJ 6701 is a 1975 Turbo... silver metallic, non-optioned sunroof and non-optioned A/C.

One of our own, Ryan Snodgrass is at it again. I spotted this on the Parabolica Press website: https://parabolicapress.com/products/porsche-turbo-3-0-book If this is anything like his Carrera 2.7 book we are in for a treat, it should be awesome. Can't wait.
The pictures depict the lines where the original Turbo Flares were welded on early cars at the factory, before stamping began on Turbo fenders and quarters in later cars. If looking to buy an early Turbo, this can be felt on the underside of the fender. If there is no seem that you can feel and it's an early car, it's safe to assume the car was in an accident and a fender was replaced. .

Agree...great photos that show the weld lines. Thanks for posting. In addition to accidents, the other reason for fender replacement might be correcting a slant nose conversion. Sadly, the original RSR that was destroyed in a fire in Sacramento also showed the rear fender weld lines after the paint was burned off. I believe this was the same car that was featured in the Road & Track magazine article. After the RSR, Porsche continued the practice of welded flares for the 930.

We lost our 930 in a house fire that I spoke about in the silver section last week. My father feels the need to replace it. He was very attached to that car since he bought it in 1980 and it has a lot of memories attached to it. So, does anybody know of a 77 930 for sale ?
^^^ sorry to hear that Ross. since you are looking you may already know this but it seems more 3.0 TCs have been popping up on Ebay lately.
