A January 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 930) belonging to the last fifty examples delivered to the United States before federal emissions regulations ended American-market sales. Powered by the 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six with intercooler, the car retains its matching-numbers engine and gearbox and was specified with sport seats, a limited-slip differential, electric sliding roof, and electric passenger mirror. It remained with its first owner from new until 2016 and shows only 151 miles, leaving the Black Metallic coachwork and beige leather interior in essentially unaltered condition.
