We are please to present this exceptional 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 !

The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 has a very special place in the history of the Porsche 911, as it brought together elements from two of Porsche’s most legendary cars. It represented the latest incarnation of the Porsche Carrera, originally introduced to the 911 series as the classic 2.7 litre RS in late 1972, and the Carrera 3′s 2993cc engine used the same die-cast aluminium crank-case as its awesome cousin, the newly introduced Porsche 930 or ’911 Turbo’. It was sold between 1976-1977. During its short two year life span, only 3687 cars were built. Of these 2564 were coupes and 1123 produced as Targas.

Our Carrera 3.0 was delivered in October 1975 in Frankfurt. Its history is well known, with only 3 owners in Germany: the first owner, born in 1917, sold the vehicle to the second owner in 1977. The second owner used it until 1997, after which it was decommissioned and only awaken from its slumber in 2018, when the third owner purchased it and commissioned extensive works at a Porsche specialist workshop. The vehicle was mostly in storage for the past 6 years, so it has now beneffited from a major service (over 15’000 CHF) so it is in perfect condition for its next owner.
