1977 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (Type 930)

9307800697roadGermany

Engine: 3.0L turbocharged flat-six, single KKK turbocharger, 245 hp (US spec)
Colour: Guards Red (G8)

A 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (Type 930) finished in Guards Red, notable as the twentieth-to-last example built for that model year. Delivered new in Virginia, it was soon exported to Colombia under diplomatic registration, where it remained in a private collection for roughly four decades with minimal use. Re-imported to the United States in 2017 after mechanical overhaul, the car retains its original interior, unmodified specification, and unusually low mileage, and is accompanied by its original window sticker, factory literature, and a comprehensive maintenance file.
