A late-1976 Porsche Type 930 Turbo Carrera, one of only 530 J-Series US-specification cars built that year and reportedly one of just three finished in special-order Platinum Metallic paint with black anodized window trim. Uniquely among that trio, it carries a matching brown leather interior. Delivered new in California, it accumulated just over 20,000 miles across its first four decades and was shown at a PCA Zone 7 Concours, where it scored 248 out of 250 points. The car retains its original documentation and presents in near-pristine condition.
