The whole story
This 911 was delivered by Glöckler in Frankfurt am Main in 1976 - the first documented owner: a Hamburg advertising agency. Those familiar with the model know that it was not allowed to be sold directly to the USA because it did not meet the emissions regulations there. in 1984, however, a US Army officer stationed in Ansbach discovered the natural green Carrera 3.0 for himself. With 83,540 kilometers on the clock, he buys the car for 23,000 DM, the original purchase contract is of course available.
From this moment on, a story unfolds that reads like an archive on wheels: Invoices, correspondence, documents - meticulously preserved. in 1985, the car was exported to Texas in the USA, more precisely to Fort Hood, one of the largest military bases in the USA. Shortly before: speedometer conversion - from 102,718 km to 63,826 miles. Mr. D. and his wife maintain the car with passion and precision, as evidenced by well over 200 pages of paper in the form of invoices, personal correspondence and notes. Two engine overhauls are documented - one of them in 2004 at 95,873 mls, at a cost of 11,700 dollars. Shortly afterwards, the 911 is painted grand prix white. Although we miss the 'why', we learn everything and more about the quality of the work and the cooperation with the painter on several pages..
in 2006, the car changes hands quite suddenly and unexpectedly for the reader immersed in the files, and Mr. M. continues the documentation in the same manner. Again: invoices, notes, carpet samples, stickers. in 2012, German paper appears again for the first time: a TÜV report without defects, a classic car certificate, the conversion to the kilometer speedometer.
Since 2013, the Carrera 3.0 has been back in the country - in grand prix white, with original interior. The condition: well-maintained, documented, ready. The price reflects the current actual condition - with the option of one day returning this special vehicle to the only known natural green version.
Some cars are simple, others are charming. And then there are those with character. Our Carrera 3.0 Targa belongs to the third type - and is looking for someone to carry its history forward with it.
