1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa
- Engine
- 3.0L air-cooled flat-six, 200 bhp (European spec)
- Colour
- Light yellow
A 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa finished in Light Yellow, this example was purpose-built for Glöckler of Frankfurt, one of Germany's leading Porsche dealers of the era. Completed on 13 August 1977, it carries the rare M451 Turbo Look body package — widened bodywork, whale-tail spoiler, and wide Fuchs wheels — an option that appears to predate the factory-offered Turbo Look by approximately seven years. Its Porsche Deutschland authenticity certificate confirms several distinctive factory-specified details.
