- Colour
- Silver with black anodized trim
A 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 930) finished in Silver with a black leather interior, this U.S.-specification example is the 848th of 1,200 built for the model year. Exceptionally rare in its state of preservation, it had covered just 548 miles at the time of cataloguing — the result of early dry storage after delivery through a Philadelphia dealership. Retaining original tires, documentation, and tools, it represents a virtually unused survivor of Porsche's flagship model of the era.
