Anyone else with the underdash vents missing the centre piece. It really annoyed me having these vents misaligned. Managed to print a few and address this problem. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Greetings All! I have decided to put my car back to single muffler outlet and require a rear valance It appears they are no longer made as the later ones have the mounting provision for heat shield Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction new or used? Thanks David
One of the most difficult parts to source. It is possible to modify one out of a standard part from a 911 from 74 to 82 to the form of the Turbo 3.0 by a (very) skilled craftsman. But You need a sample.
Thanks Do you know if the mounting holes are different ? Curious to know what the differences are/ Thanks for response
Mounting holes are the same, but the other form is different, because the exhaust needs more room on a Turbo 3.0.
I sure like the look of this one as a driver: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-porsche-911-turbo-carrera-14-2/ Somehow it doesn't seem to be attracting the level of bidding I would expect, even considering that most of the action will be in the last 5 minutes? Will it even make $100k? It just barely got there last time. What am I missing?
As noted, inconsistant mileages & unwound sale due to same; also, while era-cool, the color combo just doesn't seem "2020 auction-friendly" to me....
I guess... if I had the space, I would probably be a bidder. It's a 45 year old Porsche, and it clearly is NOT a super low mileage car (for a 930), so who cares about the mileage? I would be much more concerned with the overall condition, and it looks pretty good to me as a driver.
Well on a 45 year old car parts are hard and expensive to score. I have a 1977 930 TC which I have substantial restoration work done. Parts do wear out with mileage and general age/wear. I can tell you my 930 was in better condition before much of my partial restoration than this car is currently. Just looking at the car I would just guess the mileage is a bit north of 100k miles judging by the engine and under carriage. Hagerty values a condition #3 car average @$104k and a condition #4 car average @$55.7k so not surprising that this car could max out under $100k, look at all the pics this an 8’ -10’ car. IMO and I have owned my car since 1979 so I have a bit of experience in this model.
That's fair. I like my old cars to look like old cars, so I'm not too bothered by that... and I agree that this car is probably a 3 to 3-. Is the boost gauge in the tach correct for 77?
[QUOTE="donv, post: 148542083, member: 295" Is the boost gauge in the tach correct for 77?[/QUOTE] Yes, boost gauge is correct. 1977 930 was the only model year 930 supplied with one reading to 1.5 bar.
Only made $85k, so not surprisingly RNM. I would like to own an early 930 some day, but not right now.
Well none the less that would seem a reasonable price for the vehicle. I suspect about another $10k - $15k would likely need to be spent fixing odds and ends w/o paint work which could be a lot say $20k - $30k? Just depends how fussy one is about their classics.
Black on Black Turbo Carrera on BaT right now. Question came up on OEM tires; I've thought Pirelli CN36 were standard on all cars, someone is arguing they came also with P7s, possibly in Europe? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-porsche-930-turbo-9/#comment-9055288
The tires did vary quite a bit based on when the car was ordered, customer preference, market, homologation requirements, etc. The P7 was only available in 15″ for the 1976 model year (but not in the United States). The following tires were fitted to the 1975-1977 Turbo 3.0, * 15-inch Dunlop SP Sport * 15-inch Pirelli Cinturato CN36 * 15-inch Pirelli P7 * 16-inch Pirelli P7 (1977 only) For example, despite 16" Fuchs being available in the 1977 model year, some RoW 930s were ordered with 15″ Fuchs with CN36 or Dunlops. In Japan, the 16″ Fuchs were not road approved, so they all received 15″ Fuchs. There are lots of nuances to these special 930s and for most questions, there isn't one blanket answer to how all the cars were delivered. However, the best option for questions on any early 930 is to consult the Turbo 3.0 book to learn exactly which tires came on each of the Turbo 3.0 by chassis number! In the back of the book, all Turbo 3.0 chassis number is listed with all the options, tires, etc. It also has an appendix that lists the exact dates and chassis numbers where parts changes/updates happened on the assembly line.
My thought is that the P7s were preferred as that tire had a ridge to protect the rim of the Fushs. My prior Porsches had Cinturatos and the P7s seemed to be a big advancement. Mine came with P7s.
Nice work on Sketchfab https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/free-1975-porsche-911-930-turbo-8568d9d14a994b9cae59499f0dbed21e Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nice rendering but the 1975 930 had the smaller flag mirrors. The mirrors in this rendering were not available until MY 1976.
It seems vexing to me that early turbo renderings add the “euro” side marker which actually came into existence in 1980. Early 3 liter turbos regardless of destination never had this hideous side marker.
