Certificate of Authenticity This 1977 Porsche Turbo was purchased new in Kansas City at Art Bunker, Porsche Audi for $28,700 by Roger Morrison (still alive and loves talking stories about his car) on August 1st 1977. Roger registered the car in the name of his business, Long-McArthur Inc. Kansas. The original sale of the car was executed by John Youngblood (original business card), the sales manager at Art Bunker at the time. According to the Bill of Sale #05910, the car was originally $26,995 According to the Window Sticker, extra's included: * Sport Seats (left & right) $255 * Sunroof $710 * Heated Right Outside Mirror $85 * Dealer Prep $500 * Freight $155 It took original owner Roger Morrison slightly more than 1 month to receive his first speeding ticket as he began using the Turbo as it was intended. On October 11th, 1977 Roger received citation #1848310 by Kansas City Highway Patrol for allegedly doing 72 mph in a 55 speed zone. Roger has stated to me that he was well north of 90 but the office kindly walked the ticket down in speed. In July of 1978 Roger continued to cherish his car but had questions about keeping the engine cool. He tended not to use the car in warm weather (90 degrees+) and was trying to learn how he might keep the air cooled car running at cooler temps. Roger wrote a letter, pen to paper to Charles Stoddard on July 11th 1978 after Stoddard discussed oil coolers on early cars in Panorama. Stoddard wrote back a short few days later in red pen on paper and suggested that Roger remove from the car the thermal reactors. Even though illegal Stoddard stated, it will drop the temperature of the engine 30 degrees. Roger was a meticulous with his notes and documentation. He even saved his scribbles from when he was working on various vanity license plate ideas. He even saved the negatives (pictures) of his beloved 1977 Turbo next to his 1979 Turbo (6 negatives in total). Even though Roger loved his beloved 1977 Turbo Carrera, on March 19th 1979, Roger chose to sell listing it in The Wall Street Journal after having bought a brand new 1979 Turbo. The newspaper listing in the Wall Street Journal on 04/05/1979 stated: Late '77 Porsche Turbo Carrera for sale by original owner. 9307800668 Silver with Lobster interior, sun roof, RH mirror and sport seats. 2,950 miles. Never driven in rain or smoked in. Bra, mats and cover from new. $31,950.00 Can deliver in enclosed. Reason for selling: Purchased a new 3.3 Turbo Roger Morrison (original newspaper listing will go with the sale of the car). On the same day, listed for sale is a 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV for $30,000 and a 76 Countach for $85,000. The Miura would have been a nice purchase… On 05/08/1979, Charles Grigsby left a message for Roger Morrison via Roger's secretary. Charles had seen the listing in the Wall Street Journal and was interested in traveling with his 12 year old son to inspect the car. Charles ultimately purchased the car from Roger on July 13th 1979 and became the 2nd owner. Charles passed away that same year but his son is still alive and had some great stories to share. His contact info will go with the sale. He accompanied his dad on the trip to Kansas to inspect the car before the purchase from Roger. His dad took out a 2nd mortgage on their home to purchase the car. He shared a story about his dad doing 80 and a highway patrol officer pulling up besides them on the highway and the officer covering his eyes with his hand. With that, Charles put the pedal down and took off. His son, who is also named Charles was incredibly emotional when we connected as the car had deep memories to him having his dad pass away in the same year of the purchase when he was just 12 years old. Dr. Robert S Brown of De Moines, Iowa was the 3rd owner. He is still alive and I have spoken with him about the car only on email. His contact will go with the car. Dr. Brown took the car to the 1983 Porsche Parade in Ozarks and entered the car in the Pirelli Driving Event and took first place. The weekend was all Porsche, all day. The car was also written up and photographed in a Porsche Magazine as the car sported license plate STIX and when under the ownership of Dr. Robert Brown. Along with the sale is a video documentary DVD. Here is a preview. In this second video clip, at 3.58 seconds, the Turbo race is discussed. There is a lapse of time and ownership at this point but the car does resurface with owner Karen Burkhardt in Denver Colorado in the early 1990's. The car moved onward to John Carey of Wyoming in 1997 whom I purchased it from in the beginning of 2015. John often worked on the car and there are a LOT of receipts from this period for parts. John owned the car for 18 years and there must be 40 receipts. Under my ownership, I have had the car painted from door-jams out, the undercarriage and wheel-wells cleaned but not painted and still original. The interior is all original and was cleaned and not altered. The engine was removed and rebuilt from top to bottom. The car is now meticulous and worthy of sitting on the lawn at any concourse event. I have receipts totaling $70,000 for full engine rebuild, paint from door jams out, deep clean undercarriage, wheel wells, etc. All the information above is documented except stories from the past owners which can be obtained by phone calls or emails if anyone wishes. Reason for selling: I have owned the car for 6 years now and just bought land which I plan to develop into a vineyard, home and winery. That proof is here: If not for this land purchase, I would be a seller.

That is a beautiful 930, I remember seeing that color combo several times when they were new, good luck with the sale!
Spectacular car and worth the asking price. Remarkable write up, let’s hope the next owner keeps as detailed a history. Best of luck on your sale.
It’s a beautiful car but you’ve done it a terrible disservice posting it next to the green one. That color has me salivating all over the tablet.
Thanks. The green one is a 1976 and my six year old sons favorite color and car in my fleet! Emerald Green Metallic... It will go to him someday... glad you dig it!
...OUTSTANDING AD!,OUTSTANDING CAR!...like yourself I am contemplating headed in a “different” direction so will/am downsizing so I unfortunately not in a position to purchase this fabulous car...however,I would love to meet you sometime Jamie as I am a wine lover and have friends in the Bay Area also(was just there to visit and ski up in Tahoe)...I’m there quite a bit and my next trip will be to fly in for car week in Monterey...I have a 1988 Turbo Cab and a1996 993 Turbo...as crazy as this sounds I feel Turbos are undervalued...in 2025 they will turn 50 and specimens of early cars like yours will skyrocket...I know sone astute collectors and will forward this on to them...shoot me a pm if so inclined...Stuart
I’ll take payment in wine to post ads! Thanks CGT000 Simchanova, thanks for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the posting and car. I would be happy to share a glass someday! My winery is up in Sonoma and I myself live in the sunset district of SF. I still own a few cars so there is still will be some fun to be had locally! I agree that I am sure Porsche has something planned or up there sleeve for the 50th anniversary. It would be some sight to see 50 years of Turbo's lined up in Monterey! Cheers and be well! Jamie
I connected with the original owner today after having sent him this listing. He was happy with the stewardship and shared with me these pictures of the car over email today and stated they were taken when he first took delivery.

Jamie, your silver car for sale is amazing. However, the green car is so over the top!!!! Either of these could make me sell my DP.
