1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera
For decades the mantra for anyone interested in purchasing a 911 Turbo, or any 911 for that matter, was to find the newest example possible. The reasoning made sense. Porsche’s philosophy of refinement through incremental change and evolution rather than revolution brought the 911 Turbo displacement increases, intercooling, all-wheel drive, twin turbochargers, and more. Yet as the model evolved, there were those who missed the design purity of the earliest cars that featured an array of exciting colors inside and out pioneered by Style Porsche. Built between 1975 and 1977, those non-intercooled Type 930s were built in limited numbers which, according to Porsche, was intended to comprise just 500 cars to homologate the 1976 934 Turbo RSR for FIA Group 4 International GT racing. For a growing number of Porsche aficionados only the earliest and most stylish examples of the Type 930 would do, and one would be hard-pressed to find a more attractive 1976 911 Turbo Carrera than chassis number 0041.
Selected in the optional shade of Coppaflorio (360) known as Ice Blue in the U.S. (and occasionally Polar Blue), according to Ryan Snodgrass’ seminal Turbo 3.0 this 1976 911 Turbo Carrera is one of only three finished in Coppaflorio worldwide that year. An analysis of the book reveals it was fitted with an interior to sample in Blue leather (3AG) and Midnight Blue carpeting (7AG). Snodgrass’ book records the factory-fitted options in November 1975 as limited slip differential, Turbo side stripes in Black, driver and passenger Recaro sport seats, 1.5 horsepower starter motor, an electric sliding sunroof, and Pirelli CN36 tires fitted to 15-inch Fuchs wheels. This stunning combination of exterior and interior colors and desirable options was delivered to the United States and distributed through VWoA Western Region with its original service book revealing the original selling dealer as River Road Porsche-Audi just outside of New Orleans, Louisiana.
