15 Coolest Displays at the Friends of Steve McQueen Car and Motorcycle Show A Celebration of Steve McQueen and the Boys Republic 7th July 2015 | by Megan Stewart Perhaps the most important display at the show was Mecum Auctions display of Steve McQueen's 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo. This is his last special-order Porsche and will be sold to benefit the Boys Republic. (McQueen was a member of the 1946 class at the community in Chino Hills.) He added some personal touches, including a switch on the dashboard to "kill the rear lights in case he was being chased on Mulholland Drive," to this model, his son, Chad, said when talking with Mecum Auctions. McQueen's 930 Turbo also features a Slate Gray special order exterior color, an early production non-intercooled, 3.0-liter flat-six engine, a black interior, and 8-inch front and 9-inch rear wheels McQueen added himself.

Yes, the VIN plate is correct. The ADR plate is correct. The letters ADR stand for Australain Design Rules, not Dress Rules. If youre missing the ADR plate, its not common, its a sign of a problem. Once it would have mattered from a legal viewpoint, but not so much now that time has passed. The car in question is mine. I havent posted the body colour plate that is affixed to the A Pillar on the left hand hand side, but its there, and available to see in need. The car is as stated. Any questions you can PM me. Rgds
Exept RSR items , I read about a 3.3 engine (303ch) and a 5 speed gearbox. Tha car appear on this youtube Ruf video (part 3): http://youtu.be/PfNwmJvE3n4
Confirm on Ruf'site: "The first RUF enhanced Porsche model made its debut in 1975. Two years later, the turbocharged 911 engine, which was enlarged to 3.3 liters by RUF through the use of larger pistons, had a distinct performance increase compared to the standard Porsche Turbo model. The power was transfered through a prototype of the RUF 5-speed-gearbox to the rear wheels"
As I understand it, in the early days of ADR plates. It was the dealers responsibility to fit them (early / mid 70s). For various reasons some where missed. I think the plates where ordered at the time of the cars arrival in Australia. The government stamped them then sent them to the dealer. If the owner picked up the car from the dealer and never returned to there. They may have never got the opportunity to fit it. My car 76 #91 has no holes drilled for it. As for the VIN plate. I have seen slight variations of them around this time. You can buy reproduction ones and the plate obviously has fresh rivets? I got in trouble here once for removing a VIN plate, then replacing it after a respray. They are quite strict on it here. In SA we call the ADR plate Australian Design Rules. Quite a lot of the paper work for my car calls it Australian Dress Rules? It might be an Eastern states trade term? as my car was sold in new in Sydney?

I am with Simon on the Adr plate Shady,all my cars have them (this includes tourist delivered car). From the date stamped on my cars plates I would say they were ordered by the dealer when they placed the car order with the factory so as to match up for final delivery to customer.
My car has never had one, no holes drilled anywhere? Built 10/75 matching numbers Australian delivered. I recently had the car historically registered in South Australia. The PCSA guy that does the inspections explained the missing plates theory. He has been doing the inspections for about 15 years and seen many Australian delivered cars with missing plates. He is cool with it so I am cool with it. I can understand how a car could be delivered to the customer without the plate being ready if things where rushed. Though my car was built in 75 and sold in Sydney in 77 by Scuderia Veloce. This may suggest it was a dealer stock order for the show room? You would think that would give them enough window to sort the ADR plate?
1976 Turbo Carrera, chassis # 9306800157 sold on eBay for $36K... Porsche 930 Coupe | eBay Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I believe the Buy It Now was $36k. Not sure what all they got for $36k. Just looks like a tub with a gutted interior and what may be a 3.0.
At one time, $36k bought a top notch 3.0 turbo. Today, I look at that, and think, wow, what a good deal. How times change.
I know this is the Turbo Carrera site, however with that new Oak Green Turbo in the photo, I thought my under 10 K mile Oak green 1979 turbo ( since departed with the square original tires ) would be OK since it is Oak Green. Still the original red cellophane dot on the brake pedal when it left my place with a sock over it.

I remember I passed on a couple nice 3.0 TCs cars about 6 years ago for around that money. call me stupid!!!
Nine years ago when I was looking to buy my first turbo, there was a white/red 77 for sale locally with 50k on it. I asked my mechanic about it and he told me I should get a 3.3 because the intercooled motor was much better. That car was for sale for the longest time at $25k.
My first three 930's were all 3.3L intercooled cars - I believed the hype that they were the preferable choice- my first drive in a 3L car changed that in a hurry. Phil
When you think about it, it's astonishing that ever new Turbo that Porsche puts out today (40 years later), goes back to and is based upon the 1975-1977 930 3.0 Liter Turbo. The beginning of an era! The start of Turbo incorporation at Porsche. The car is more symbolic to me than even a 73 RS. I found this snipped from Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger Petrol-powered cars, Turbocharged petrol engines The first turbocharged passenger car was the Oldsmobile Jetfire option on the 1962-1963 F85/Cutlass, which used a turbocharger mounted to a 215 cu in (3.52 L) all aluminum V8. Also in 1962, Chevrolet introduced a special run of turbocharged Corvairs, initially called the Monza Spyder (1962-1964) and later renamed the Corsa (1965-1966), which mounted a turbocharger to its air cooled flat six cylinder engine. This model popularized the turbocharger in North America—and set the stage for later turbocharged models from Porsche on the 1975-up 911/930, Saab on the 1978-1984 Saab 99 Turbo, and the very popular 1978-1987 Buick Regal/T Type/Grand National. Today, turbocharging is common on both Diesel and gasoline-powered cars. Turbocharging can increase power output for a given capacity[40] or increase fuel efficiency by allowing a smaller displacement engine. The 'Engine of the year 2011' is an engine used in a Fiat 500 equipped with an MHI turbocharger. This engine lost 10% weight, saving up to 30% in fuel consumption while delivering the same HP (105) as an 1.4 litre engine. The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze is available with either a 1.8 litre non-turbocharged engine or a 1.4 litre turbocharged engine—both produce the same 138 horsepower. Low pressure turbocharging is the optimum when driving in the city, whereas high pressure turbocharging is more for racing and driving on highways/motorways/freeways.
Yep, well combine it with the Danish '75 with incorrect 3.3 that just sold for $100K add $200K in total restoration and you are still well under market...
