Very few cars from the 1970s have the reputation of the first-generation Porsche 911 Turbo. This 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is an early U.S.-specification example showing approximately 103,898 miles and carrying VIN 9306800195, placing it as the 195th U.S.-market 930 in the 1976 VIN sequence. Porsche introduced the Turbo to North America for the 1976 model year, and this car belongs to the original 3.0-liter generation produced before the larger 3.3-liter Turbo arrived for 1978. Finished in White over a Black leather interior, this example combines the early single-turbo drivetrain with the signature wide rear fenders and factory whale-tail spoiler that made the 930 instantly recognizable. It also features a custom front bumper, upgraded Porsche alloy wheels, factory-style air conditioning, a sunroof, and period Porsche equipment. According to the seller, this example has remained under the same ownership for the last 24 years, adding an appealing element of long-term provenance to one of Porsche’s most important early turbocharged road cars. Porsche states that 2,850 3.0-liter Turbos were produced during the model’s first three years, while specialist production records list 530 U.S.-specification examples for the 1976 model year.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is finished in White and wears the unmistakable proportions of the original Turbo, with dramatically widened rear fenders and the large factory whale-tail rear spoiler that became one of the defining visual signatures of the 930. A custom front bumper gives this example an even more purposeful appearance, while upgraded Porsche alloy wheels and red brake calipers add to the motorsport-inspired presentation. A factory sunroof adds another desirable period feature, while the rear wing and widened bodywork are authentic characteristics of the early 930 rather than later additions; Porsche’s own historical material notes that the Turbo was already distinguished by its wider body and prominent rear wing from the beginning of series production. The interior of this 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is trimmed in Black leather and retains the wonderfully straightforward layout that defines early air-cooled 911s. Black leather sport seats, the classic five-gauge instrument arrangement, a four-speed manual shifter, and floor-mounted pedals keep the cabin focused squarely on the driver. Air conditioning adds welcome usability to an early Turbo, while power windows and a rear-window defroster provide additional convenience. A Porsche CDR-210 head unit and aftermarket door-mounted speakers update the audio system without dramatically altering the period character of the cabin.
Engine
Powering this 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is an air-cooled 3.0L single-turbocharged flat-six using Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. As a U.S.-specification car, it belongs to the Type 930/51 engine family, which specialist production records identify as the emissions-compliant version supplied to American and Canadian buyers for 1976. Importantly, the early 3.0-liter 930 was not intercooled; Porsche did not add an intercooler until the 3.3-liter Turbo arrived for the 1978 model year. The 930’s rear-engine layout, substantial turbo lag, short four-speed gearbox, and abrupt power delivery helped establish the demanding driving character later associated with the “Widowmaker” reputation. Power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, and the front-mounted oil cooler round out a mechanical package that was genuinely exotic for its era.
