In recent years. Porsche's first-generation Type 930 Turbos (1975–1977) have become much sought-after by collectors. Much lighter and more visceral than their modern counterparts. these Turbo Carreras (as they were first dubbed in the United States) were genuinely exciting automobiles. Exaggerated fender flares and a large rear deck spoiler announced that the Turbo Carrera was no ordinary 911. The Turbo's performance matched its looks; the turbocharged three-liter air-cooled engine delivered its power through a strengthened four-speed manual gearbox. and many were equipped with an optional limited-slip differential. These early Type 930s could accelerate to 60 mph in six seconds and top 155 mph.

There would be only 727 North American-specification Turbos built and sold for model year 1977. Its factory-issued Certificate of Authenticity notes that this stunning example left the factory in March of 1977. Wearing Oak Green Metallic  (Y4) paint with Dark Green leather interior. it was luxuriously equipped for the Canadian market. including tinted glass. electric windows. air conditioning. power-adjustable and heated outside mirrors. high-pressure headlight washers. and a rear window wiper. Additional options included electric sunroof. exterior mirror right. and Pirelli high-performance tires.

This Turbo Carrera completed production March 1977 and was supplied by Volkswagen Canada to Heimrath Porsche in Scarborough. Ontario. Canada who sold it to the first owner May 1977. Based on service invoices that accompany this car we acquired it from the third owner who has owned the car since June 1986. The car just completed engine head refurbishment which included new piston rings. repair all oil leaks. new clutch and fresh fluids at a cost of $16. 71. 00. The car runs and drives very well. Complete service records from new accompany the car.

Today. this magnificent 1977 Turbo Carrera shows just 117. 11 original kilometers . The car received a glass in re-spray approximately 15 years ago. The interior is all original including carpets. dash and leather. It is supplied with its original tool roll. jack. spare tire. and factory Owner's Manual and Warranty Book in a maroon vinyl slipcase.

The original 911 Turbo is an icon of Porsche ingenuity and design. and it has truly stood the test of time. as it is considered by many to be one of the most important Porsche models ever produced. This  example would make a great addition to any Porsche collection. and its next owner will surely find great satisfaction behind the wheel. especially when the turbo spools up.
