I have owned the car for 17 years. The car runs and drives as a good, solid, Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 should.
I bought the 1976 911 Carrera 3.0 in 1999 and have put less than 2,000 miles on it since. It has been garaged the
entire time. The last time it was licensed was 2008. I start it every year and drive it around the neighborhood. I
have only used non-ethanol premium gasoline. The vehicle shows 86,273 miles however the odometer quit working. The
speedometer functions properly. I have documentation of a leak down test on the engine performed at 81,559 miles
by Squire's Autowerks in Bellevue, WA in 1997. #1 cylinder: 5%, #2:: 5%, #3: 8%, #4: 6%, #5: 5%, #6: 5%. It has the
upgraded chain tensioners. Redline Engineering in Canaan, NY also performed quite a bit of mechanical work on it in
1995. I have receipts for both of these from the previous owner. I have had the valves adjusted and the vehicle
tuned up at Alpine Motors in Hayden, Idaho.
The 911 has electric windows, thermostatic climate control. The later model rear wing is OEM Porsche tea tray wing
from a later era. Additionally, I have a painted standard rear deck lid for it, a new OEM Carrera 3.0 emblem for
the deck lid, original steering wheel, extra bumpers, and a table full of boxes of parts I have purchased over the
years for the paint restoration. Including a set of engine bay decals and vintage 1976 and 1977 Porsche ADAC enamel
emblems for the rear deck lid grill.
I have a video I took of the engine running 2 weeks ago.
What the car needs (see pictures): The front valance is slightly bent. It has minor bubble rust around the
sunroof, rust on the bottom of the front windshield frame, and a very minor area of surface rust on the driver's
door. The rear left corner of the rear fender has a paint crack that could be from a previous repair. There is a
minor area of surface rust in the front boot area at the front of the gas tank and minor rust on the battery base.
The car would need a paint restoration. The driver’s door window framed is dinged from a break-in sometime
before my ownership. The front seats are in great condition and need to be recovered with the original black
leatherette. It is missing the headlight washer pump and could use new emergency brake shoes.
It's a good, honest, 40 year-old car that needs a caring owner that will appreciate it for it's rarity and
special place as the last true air-cooled 911 Carrera Porsche built.
I have the historical title that shows the Carrera 3.0 came in to Georgia on 12/29/87 with 32,226 miles.
According to Porsche:
1,083 Carrera 3.0s were built in 1976
2,608 Carrera 3.0s were built in 1977
1976-77 Carrera 3.0 History:
During the Carrera 3.0’s short lifespan from 1976 to 1977, only 3,691 were built in total (Coupes and Targas) but
were never available to the U.S market. The Carrera 3.0 is fitted with what is essentially a 930 Turbo Carrera
engine without a turbo. This power plant would later go on to serve as a basis for the popular SC line of 911s. The
Carrera 3.0 however, was more powerful and lighter than the later SC’s and carried the flywheel and crank of the
famous 73' Carrera RS.
""The Carrera 3.0 engine was essentially the phenomenal 911 Turbo’s 2994 cc engine minus the turbocharger. Built
before the ’911 SC’ it has everything the SC has, and more. It’s a different drive with more power @200bhp;
more torque @188 ft/lb @4200rpm and it was 10% lighter too. It has the 6 bolt flywheel and a crank from the
legendary 73 Carrera RS. The 3.0 carrera would go on to be the basis for all future developed 911’s up to 1989
including the 911SC and 3.2 Carrera. Performance numbers for the Carrera 3.0 are astonishingly similar to those of
the famed Carrera RS of the early 70′s and it’s the last time Porsche would use the Carrera name until the Mid
80′s.
Despite a reputation for being a ‘tamed-down’ version of the original 2.7RS and 2.7 Carreras, The Carrera 3 had
almost identical 0-60 and 0-100mph performance figures but was endowed with so much extra torque that it could pull
from 25 to 100mph in top gear over 3 seconds faster than either of its production predecessors. The Carrera 3.0 is
arguably a better car than the 2.7, even though the latter has the cache of sharing an engine with the RS 2.7 and
the older revvy unit made the car more fun to drive."

Janis Joplin's psychedelic Porsche nets $1.76M at auction
Sat, Dec 12 2015Even though she famously asked the Lord for a Mercedes-Benz, Janis Joplin loved her 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet with its psychedelic mural called History of the Universe. The mind-bending droptop went for an amazing $1.76 million at a recent RM Sotheby's auction in New York City and shattered the original estimate of between $400,000 and $600,000 for the sale. Seven bidders in a fight over the trippy car helped push up the price, and this is now the most ever paid for a 356 at public auction. According to RM Sotheby's listing, Joplin bought the Porsche used in 1968 and quickly gave it to a roadie for her band Big Brother and the Holding Company to create the mural. He covered the entire exterior with a variety of motifs including a landscape across the passenger side, butterfly on the driver's door, a rainbow connecting two faces at the back, and an eye on the front. Joplin proudly drove the convertible regularly until her death at just 27 years old in 1970. After the singer's passing, Joplin's siblings eventually took control of the groovy Porsche but made the odd choice to repaint the car in the original Dolphin Gray. They eventually realized that was an awful idea, and two artists used photos to recreate the mural. The family then loaned the 356 to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH, in 1995, and this auction was the first time the convertible went up for sale since Joplin bought it. You can get a great look at all the psychedelic details in the gallery above. PSYCHEDELIC JANIS JOPLIN PORSCHE SHATTERS ESTIMATE, BRINGS RECORD $1.76 MILLION IN NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK (December 10, 2015) - Tonight at the RM Sotheby's 'Driven By Disruption' auction in New York City, The Janis Joplin 1964 Porsche 356 C 1600 SC Cabriolet sold for $1,760,000*, well over the pre-sale estimate of $400/600,000. Spurring a spirited bidding contest between collectors in the room and on the phones, seven bidders competed for the iconic daily driver of legendary rocker Janis Joplin. The outstanding sales price represents a new record for any Porsche 356 sold at public auction. Purchased by the Queen of Rock'n'Roll from a used car lot in 1968, Joplin engaged Dave Richards, a friend and roadie with her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, to customize it with a psychedelic 'History of the Universe' mural, rendering it one of the first true 'art cars' and one of the most famous and important Porsches of all time.
Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
Porsche Classic to offer vintage 911 dashboards
Tue, Jun 2 2015Porsche Classic already offers everything from oil specifically for the brand's air-cooled models to GPS navigation units for them. For restorers looking for just the right piece, the division is now also selling replacement dashboards for early 911s. Fitting models from 1969 to 1975, these dashboards aren't 100-percent original replacements. Instead, Porsche Classic reengineered the part with a modern substructure to hold up better to the sun, temperature changes, and humidity. The outer surface still looks entirely correct, though, to fit the design of these vintage air-cooled coupes. Porsche Classic is selling them for $1,353, but the the windshield needs to come out for installation. While the price may sound steep, it appears to be right in line with other dashboard replacements for the vintage 911. The Porsche specialists at Stoddard offer an example for $1,325 and list a factory part for $1,501.29. Shopping around might be worthwhile, though, because another website already seems to show the Porsche Classic unit with a markdown to $1,150. Porsche Classic Recreates Dashboard for Historic 911 June 1, 2015 New dashboard built to original specifications Atlanta. It is back: Porsche Classic is reproducing the dashboard for vintage 911 models from years 1969 to 1975. A sophisticated manufacturing process combines high quality meeting today's standards and a design that is true to the original. The new dashboard consists of a modern substructure and the original surface design. The fluted texture, tactile feel, gloss and shade of black are designed to be as close as possible to the original. The new part is now available to be ordered from any authorized Porsche dealer in the United States. MSRP is $1,353 plus any applicable taxes, shipping, and handling. Like the technical equipment, the classic vehicles' interiors are subject to normal wear. Solar radiation as well as fluctuations in temperature and humidity attack the surface and materials over time. Today's materials hold up better; therefore, to help preserve the long-term value of classic Porsche cars, Porsche Classic re-engineered the dashboard. Extensive tests conducted to modern standards assure precision fit and quality. As an original equipment part, the dashboard, which contains the loudspeaker cover, can only be installed by the original assembly procedure – which involves removing the windshield.
