Turbo cars designated with 930, Porsche began experimenting with turbocharged technology in their late 60s and early 70s racing career in notable cars such as the Porsche 917/10 and 917/30. In order to homologate the new turbocharged race cars, 934, 934.5 and later the 935, Porsche brought a piece of the racing action to the streets for those wanting some extra power from their air-cooled vehicles. Since then, the 930 Turbo is one of the most sought-after air-cooled Porsches, combining power, aggressive styling, and a rewarding driving experience. 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic and legendary Porsche icon, reaching critical acclaim across the world as one of the all-time greatest sports cars. This 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo was delivered to its first and only owner on June 3rd, 1977 by Allan Porsche Audi of Burbank, California. On its original window sticker the 930 was optioned with a Limited Slip Differential, Sports Seats, and an Electric Sliding Roof. A black genuine leather interior was specified as part of standard options, along with a long list of standard features afforded to the 911 Turbo. In June of 1977, the car had a window sticker price of $29,949.50, equivalent to over $150,000 in 2024! With only 727 examples of the 911 Turbo produced for the U.S. 1977 model year, it was an exceptionally rare vehicle to see on the streets. The sole owner of this 911 Turbo kept a collection that eventually reached 80 vehicles strong, keeping only the most exquisite cars as a part of the longtime collection in California. Drove sparingly, the car only amassed 4,351 miles over the past 47 years, taken out occasionally but warmed up and moved in order to keep things moving the way they should be. In 2012 the Turbos engine was treated to a comprehensive freshening that included resealing the entire case according to Porsche Factory requirements, while also replacing items such as various bushings, checking engine timing and valve clearances, replacing rubber parts such as oil lines, after which the car received a clean bill of health. During this time the brake system was bled and the fuel tank was inspected. Later that year the front and rear brake caliper seals were replaced, the system bled, and the shift coupler replaced. The car remained in the collection for another 12 years before emerging again and returning to the same facility that carried out the original engine freshening. In 2024 the Turbo received additional service, replacing items that were ready to be freshened. These included the steering shaft bushing, rear brake hoses, flushing the brake system, front hood struts, ignition cut off relay, alternator restoration, repairing radio antenna operation, recharging the air condition system, restoring correct throttle operation, and 4 new Pirelli P7 tires mounted and balanced. Shortly after the 911 Turbo arrived at Canepa, the car was given a thorough inspection inside and out as a part of the Canepa Difference. The car was deemed to be in excellent condition, but Canepa is known for taking cars to the next level. The Turbo was extensively cleaned underneath to r
