    I had a look to see the reason for the "Gap" it appears its due to the red leather skin lifting away from the dash base (leather shrinking ??? 40 years) rather than the speaker grill dropping.

    I will try a few things to restore the leather along with a modern adhesive.

    This '76 was (on the grass) near the Porsche corral at Rennsport V. The car was part of the concourse section, I believe. The car has 176K miles and is a PTS Toyota brown, paint code 445 per the owner. What's interesting the COA shows metallic paint to sample but the paint is single stage. So I don't know if this is truly the original color. Interesting car but with all respect there are better examples to show at one of the largest Porsche events in the world. Nonetheless, interesting optioned car, originally from Salinas CA. Nice meeting you Sloane (Jay72), we met looking at this car for a half hour.

    First time I've personally seen the Chrome Plated parts instead of Matte on a COA. Pretty cool.

    That's mine. I agree, it's no show car but I think it's a very presentable & solid early turbo. Brown can be a polarizing color but I think in this case the color combo really works, especially with the chrome trim. I think the draw was the unusual options, definitely one of one. It sure got filthy in a hurry though. But honestly, I was too busy drinking beer and hanging out with friends to worry about it.

    As far as the color goes. It's definitely not metallic originally, the underside of the gas filler door is original paint. Another case of the COA not being 100% accurate. I had a PTS Albert Blue turbo carrera that was also incorrectly listed as 99 metallic paint to sample when it clearly was non metallic. Also, 168k miles but soon to be 176k because I can't stop driving it!

    It was nice meeting and talking with you (sat afternoon) regarding your car. Again no disrespect about its condition, I agreed, most cars were dusty and weathered out there. It's a special color combo, I enjoyed it. Thanks for the clarification on my info, best wishes..

    I think brown looks great on 911's and 930's. I used to own a mocha brown 930 and just bought a bitter chocolate SC, not everyone is a fan.

    The brown with gold wheels is a great and very classy combo, IMHO.

    In the meantine the re-assembly of my 930.52 engine is progressing ...

    It looks good to me, but I am no expert.

    It is not supposed to be a showroom piece, but an engine that gets actual use in a car that I will carry-on enjoying as a driver.

    One unexpected find was the casting number that is neither .0R nor .4R but is reads .3R ... I have no idea if it actually means anything.
    Any expert opinion?

    I have not seen the 3R casting before, it will be an intermediate version of the block. For every change to the casting, the number was increased. 0R, 3R and 4R are existing. But all are interchageable.

    Looks like they reversed the script on the rear decklid, "CarreraTurbo" not "TurboCarrera". Must be an exacting restoration.

    Tow hook plug also is missing. Restoration in process? If the rest of the car is similar as in this photo, good luck, as some original parts verge on being unobtainable!

    Cool photo! Interesting the Miura with Vermont plate and the red Countach in the background.

    I am going to install one these instead of a clock in my 76- seems like a reasonable substitute.

    Nice. I have one too in my '76. Was it an aftermarket option?

    Erik - there was no boost gauge (standard or optional) until it became standard for the 1977 model year. The one in my 1975 Turbo is an aftermarket VDO gauge, installed below the ashtray. It’s a very early VDO boost gauge, dated June 1974 and is the same style that was fitted in the 1975 Porsche Carrera with aftermarket turbocharger shown in the article in “Porsche Sport 1974/75” (on front cover).

    Fred – same car appeared in the Nov ’75 Scratch magazine. The article has some nice photos that show a 1975 brochure in the rear deck, accessories in the trunk, and nice details of an H-4 headlamp.
