1976 Porsche Euro Turbo Carrera on 2040-cars
Year:1976
Mileage:33650
Location:
Butler, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1976 Euro Porsche Turbo Carrera . This is the first official production year for the turbocharged 911, and is the most sought after. This is a project car, and will need a restoration but it is a very complete, solid running early 3.0 non intercooled turbo. This is the real deal.
The car has not been on the road in several years now. It does still run, and drive but will need an engine overhaul due to several broken head studs. This is how we acquired the car. It starts fairly easily, has normal oil pressure, normal amount of smoke at startup, and no unusual noises. I have not driven it in years, but I remember it running fairly strong, and pulling hard under boost. The transmission engages all gears. but I remember it needing some synchro work going into 3rd. The body is 99% rust free, there is a small spot on the drivers door sill, a very small bubble by the lower left windshield area, and a small bubble on one of the doors, other than that, very clean. See pictures. The paint shows well, but needs some attention .There is some shrinkage in a few areas, this is also shown in the pictures. The interior is complete and decent, but shows wear as you would expect on a 38 year old car . The car still retains its original drivetrain, and is sitting on its original 15x8 & 15X7 fuchs wheels, which are n nice shape. The tires are very old, and need replaced. It still retains its original aluminum calipers . There is minor body damage to the rear reflector, and the panel behind it, again , very minor. The one euro bumperette is broken off, but included (needs stud repair) . This car has the super rare and desire able euro back up light, and bumper trim with reflectors in it. The window trim is the brushed metal finish, which I believe is the rarest, and very nice looking on this car. All the glass is original , and in good shape. The only missing/incorrect items that I know of are : The car has a tea tray turbo tail of the later cars, and not the correct early turbo tail, and the original plastic air cleaner housing is missing. I will include a metal air cleaner housing from a later turbo. This is a rare chance to own one of the most sought after Porsche cars out there right now. The first official production year for the 911 turbo, and icon. There were less than 600 of these cars produced, and who knows how many are left. |

Magnus Walker drives 911 Turbos old and new
Wed, Mar 25 2015It's been forty years now since Porsche released the original 911 Turbo. And as many things that have remained a constant, a lot has changed, too: the engine has gone from air-cooled to liquid, moved up to nearly a midships layout, and drives almost exactly double the original's output to all four wheels instead of just the back set through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission instead of a five-speed manual. It'll also reach highway speeds about twice as fast as the original. That's progress for you, and who better to compare Porsche Turbos old and new than Magnus Walker. The outlaw of the 911 scene may not look the part, but to those in the know, he's got the last word when it comes to Porsches. After searching for some time, Walker recently got his hands on a cherry of an original 930 Turbo from 1975 – the first year it was made – and had it shipped from Australia to California to add to his collection. eGarage caught up with Walker and brought along a new 991 Turbo for juxtaposition. Fortunately it also brought along a video camera or two to document the experience, so check it out in the latest video above.
Porsche already considering even more hardcore Cayman GT4 RS?
Fri, Mar 6 2015We're not sure what kind of person would look at the new Porsche Cayman GT4 and say "that's not enough," but we're sure they're out there. And to satisfy just such a customer, Porsche could very well offer a GT4 RS version in the future. "This is just the beginning of the era. I would be interested in doing a Cayman GT4 RS version, but at the moment we didn't even talk about such a thing. If the customers call for something like this we could think about it." These are the words of Andreas Preuninger, speaking with Evo at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show this week. As head of Porsche's GT line, Preuninger and his team are responsible for creating hardcore track models like the 911 GT3, the new 911 GT3 RS and – for the first time – the new Cayman GT4. Clearly buoyed by the early success of the GT4, Prenuninger is already looking towards the next step. Considering that the existing model already packs a 3.8-liter flat six with 385 horsepower and the manual transmissions so many GT3 fans miss, we're not sure how much more they could get out of the Cayman – but we'll sure enjoy watching them try.
Porsche revisits the 911's dirty side with rally history film
Fri, 03 Jan 2014It might not be a coincidence that there are rumors of Porsche revealing a safari version of the 911 at April's Beijing Motor Show, just as the Dakar Rally is about to begin. Adding fuel to the dusty desert fire is a just-released official video of Jeff Zwart driving the Porsche 953 that Jacky Ickx drove to victory in the 1984 edition of the race.
In the video, the seven-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner talks about how he grew up with the 911; it wasn't only the car he learned to drive in, it was his choice of racecar no matter whether the course was tarmac or the dirty stuff.
You can decide for yourself if these recent events are mere coincidence while you enjoy the 953's exhaust note in the video below. If you've got the time to see the 953 during its race-conquering drive and find out what the ersatz Paris-Dakar Rally used to be, we've also included a broadcast of that 1984 race below as well. Fast-forward to 19:44 to see the Porsches cross the open dessert and 29:09 to watch one of them tackle the dunes.
