The original variant of Porsche’s iconic 911 Turbo, the 930, was introduced as the brand’s flagship model in 1975. It combined turbocharger technology developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM race car with the Carrera RS 3.0’s flat-six engine, making for the fastest German production car at the time of its debut. Finished in Black over a matching leather interior, this 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera is one of 727 examples produced for the U.S. during the model year. It was configured for sale in California and equipped with optional Sport Seats, an electric sunroof, and a limited-slip differential. This 930 was exported to Germany in 2008, where the engine and 4-speed manual transaxle were overhauled before it returned to the U.S. the following year. The car was also treated to a bare metal repaint and a reupholstered leather interior under prior ownership. Acquired by the seller in 2023, this early 911 Turbo is now being offered for auction out of Florida.
The 930 uses a modified version of the 911’s bodywork with flared wheel arches, a front chin spoiler, and a rear “Whale Tail” spoiler that vents air to the engine while providing more downforce. This example is finished in Black (A1) and features European-style H4 Hella headlight lenses, headlamp washer nozzles, front fog lights, rear fender stone guards, an electric sunroof, early U.S.-market “Turbo Carrera” badging, and 16” Fuchs alloy wheels dressed in Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires. The seller indicates that the car was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its original color under previous ownership, and the paint remains in excellent overall condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin was restored to its original appearance with new black leather upholstery and matching carpets under previous ownership. It features optional front Sport Seats, a black leather three-spoke steering wheel, folding rear seatbacks, power windows, air conditioning, a central tachometer with an integrated boost gauge, Coco floor mats, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo with MB Quart speakers. The seller notes that the throttle cable and pedal bushings were replaced along with repairs to the odometer in December 2024.
The turbocharged 3.0-liter Type 930/53 flat-six engine was factory-rated at 245 HP and 253 lb-ft of torque, and it drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transaxle with an optional limited-slip differential. Compared to a contemporary 911, the 930 features a revised suspension and larger ventilated disc brakes. The seller indicates the engine and transmission were overhauled along with the installation of a new flywheel in 2009, the rear sway bar bushings were replaced in 2023, and the alternator belt and pulley were replaced in 2024.
This sale will include a toolkit, a spare tire, service records, and a Porsche Production Specifications Certificate.
