Chassis no. 1187 is a 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) and one of the celebrated 'Final 50' U.S.-market examples, representing the last batch of 930s delivered before American emissions regulations ended the model's domestic availability. Finished in black over black leather, it was retailed through a Texas dealership and has covered just 34 miles in the hands of two private owners over more than four decades, accompanied by its unopened toolkit and full documentation.
