A 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (Type 930) finished in Ice Green Metallic, delivered from the factory on 17 March 1976 and among the first 400 U.S.-specification 930 Turbos produced. First retailed through a Minnesota dealership to a Rochester physician, the car has accumulated very low actual mileage across its life and retains largely original paint. A hydraulic chain tensioner, brake rebuild, and other mechanical work were carried out in 2004, and the car has a concours class win to its credit.
