1977 Porsche 911 Turbo

Offered here is a first-generation 3.0-liter (non-intercooled) model supplied new to the U.S. Imported in 2020, it remained unregistered until January 1, 2022. With the car is a Certificate of Authenticity confirming matching engine and transmission numbers. The 911 is finished in the original color scheme of Sand Beige with brown leather interior, its body appearing notably clean with no accidents or corrosion noted. The paintwork presents very well, with original and very period-style “Turbo” decals on the wings, while the interior is neat, having benefited from retrimming of the leather seats, headliner and dashboard. The car rolls on the correct Fuchs wheels and has the correct flatter “whale tail” rear spoiler, fog lamps beneath the bumper and periscope headlamp washers, all of which differentiates it from the later 3.3-liter intercooled models. This Type 930 benefits from a recent transmission overhaul carried out by a Porsche specialist and comes with the relevant invoice for £4,738 listing repairs to the second-gear synchromesh along with other more-minor items. The engine’s appearance indicates the likelihood of a rebuild in recent times, although there are no paper records to confirm. However, leak-down and compression tests carried out in recent months show excellent results, supporting the conclusion that the engine has been rebuilt. Our vendor says that the engine sounds beautiful and that the 930 is very exciting to drive. The car comes complete with jack, spare wheel, and a V5C registration document. Combining the unmistakable looks of a classic Porsche, the powerful Turbo engine, and the collectibility that goes hand in hand with its low production figures and iconic status, it will not disappoint.
