The 930 was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1973 as the Carrera Turbo. Employing the now iconic wide body and curvaceous body lines of the Carrera RS 3.0 but with distinctive new front and rear spoiler design. The Carerra Turbo became an instant sensation. The car was released in the North American Market in 1976 as the 911 Turbo and featured a 3.0L Turbocharged engine. In 1978 Porsche upgraded the engine to a 3.3L Intercooled version producing 300HP and 304 lb-ft, ndowing the Turbo to reach a top speed of 165mph. The fastest US car at the time. Also introduced on the 3.3L Turbos was a new rear wing to clear the intercooler and a 4-piston braking system from the 917 racecar. The 3.3L Turbo was built for the US market for only the 1978 and 1979 model year before US emissions standards forced it from the market until its reintroduction in 1986. Significant air cooled Porsche's have seen a tremendous appreciation in value in recent years, ue in part to their analog driving experience and genuine blue chip collectability. Early Turbo models in original condition are virtually non existent, nd will continue to lead the marque in value into the next decade.

Growing up as a young man in the late 70's, remembered the 911 Turbo and its history vividly, nd set my sights on acquiring the "right" one someday. I have owned this particular example, he #729/1,200 built for the last 14 years. I purchased this car in 2001 from a dealer in Seattle, A who had just taken it on trade from a gentleman in Oregon. The car was sold new in Texas. A previous owner had the DP style front bumper and 17" Porsche Cup Wheels installed. I have been fastidious in my ownership, aking sure that the vehicle never yearned for anything. I have always gotten the vehicle serviced at Porsche dealerships (If they had a technician familiar enough and skilled enough to understand the car) or independent specialty Porsche shops. When I lived in Seattle, hris Powell from Chris German (former 935 racing team mechanic) was my shop and since the car has been in Georgia, t has been maintained by a top technician at Hennessey Porsche (this mechanic is now accountable for Porsche's classic car restoration efforts at Porsche Headquarters). It has always been garage kept, nd never driven in poor weather conditions, s it has always been a 3rd car for me. The vehicle is presented in its original Black (A1) paint, hich shows exceptionally well. Other than some slight rock chipping as one would expect from the miles, he exterior is virtually blemish free. The Black leather interior presents in great shape with no rips, ears, r bolster wear. Headliner is in fantastic shape, s are the carpets and door cards. This vehicle was also ordered with the rare limited slip differential and factory sport seats. Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is available. The vehicle just completed a rigorous pre-sale inspection with compression check at Hennessey Porsche. The compression is as follows: cylinder: 1=110, =110, =115, =110, =115, =110. They noted that the vehicle checked out remarkably well and showed no signs of rust. The only thing they noted was a minor leaking valve cover gasket that they considered normal for this age of car.They were able to also verify that the engine and transmission numbers match the COA.

I have been following the market of these cars for the last few years, nd have not seen another 78-79 Turbo in as nice original condition as this car come up for sale. While there have been a few fully restored cars sold, ou can only be original once.
