CallDescription
Overview: This 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (930) is a lifetime California car with matching numbers. It has been completely restored with full documentation and is an early production example, adding to its rarity and collector appeal.
Mechanical History: The engine was professionally rebuilt by Don Wise Autowerks in Campbell, CA. It has only 1,500 miles since the rebuild, with a recent oil change and valve adjustment performed. New brakes, fuel pumps, oil cooler, clutch, and alternator have been installed.
Interior and Exterior: The car features a new interior including the headliner, dash, seat covers, and carpet. It received a high-quality repaint due to original clear coat fading. Over 400 photos documenting the restoration process from start to finish are available.
Ownership: This is a well-preserved classic, held by the second owner since 1998. It comes with a clean title and extensive records, making it a rare opportunity for a serious Porsche enthusiast.
Market Highlights
- Historical Significance: The 1976 930 Turbo Carrera represents the dawn of Porsche's turbocharging era in the United States. As one of only 530 units produced for the US market that year, its rarity and 'first-year' status make it a blue-chip investment that consistently outperforms the broader collector market.
- Restoration Premium: While 110,000 chassis miles is higher than museum-grade examples, the total restoration and engine rebuild by a respected specialist like Don Wise effectively resets the mechanical clock. Documentation of the process is critical in 2026, and the 400+ photos provided add significant transparency and value.
- Southern California Demand: The Porsche air-cooled market remains exceptionally strong in Southern California, which serves as a global hub for these vehicles. A documented California car since new is highly prized for its rust-free history and provenance, often commanding a 10-15% premium over cars from harsher climates.
