930 Turbo Carrera

From Cyprus, a Minerva blue with some "upgrades" that wouldn't cost much to set right. Shine's beautifully under the island sun. How 'bout that asking price!

sounds like fun. when i met Tim (i looked at the grey 930 he was selling) he had just got the white 79 from Atlanta and having some work done on it. he said he was collecting a 930 for each model year.

 

the Automotion catalogue offers "turbo" and "carrera" badges which are specific to the 3.0 turbos.

 

Joe, you do a wonderful job sourcing pictures from all-over!

The white car pictured was featured during the PCA Chesapeake Region 50th Anniversary weekend in Annaplois Md in 2011. It was very well prepared, note the period correct (76-77 )license plate.

 

Nice detail, I've never seen that sticker before.

 

Joe, do you know what the correct finish is for the single side view mirror on the 1975 930? I've seen black, body color and chrome/polished.

 

I need to find out who is detailing all these stunning 930's....or is it that amazing automobile photography of yours Joe! Those cars all look so CLEAN!

 

joe, is is my understanding that all came with the chip guards or shark fins as they are at times called. my father had a 76 in the day and the first thing he did was remove the chip guards...he was not fond of the look. they do however really work and could actually be a bit larger in order to do an even better job.

it is hard to say if that car pictured is original or repainted.

Fabulous pics. But I must derail this great thread slightly only to praise one of my all time favorites...993tt . That white one looks great!

 

I didn't realize how many 3.0 pictures I downloaded in the past. The last one, IIRC, was a person selling the original interior. I'm not the photographer, not taking credit, etc..

What do figure an original 1980 Martini turbo is worth these days? Probably over 60K clicks.

 

between the faded trim and faded/mismatch of the "turbo" and "carrera" over time, i don't know why people would still want them?

 

over the weekend, I saw in the PCA magazine a 76 w/138k miles w/ an asking price of $18,000. described as an excellent daily driver in good condition. i conversed with the seller and he sent me some pictures and the car looked decent but had some "visual upgrades".....some reversible mods and all the original parts would go w/ the car. car looked ok in pics but had been repainted. i passed on it and told a buddy who collects 930s. he bought it immediately and plans to use it for a beater.
