1975 Porsche 930 Turbo – Oak Green Metallic | Porsche's First Supercar

VIN: 9305700117

Completed in 2019 after a meticulous multi-year concours restoration, this exceptionally rare 1975 Porsche 930 Turbo presents as one of the most distinctive and compelling early Turbos in existence, now ready for its next passionate caretaker.

Among the most significant and collectible early Porsche Turbos, chassis 9305700117 is an exceptionally rare 1975 930 finished on April 10, 1975 and delivered in stunning Paint-to-Sample Oak Green Metallic over a black leather interior. As one of the first production-year 930 Turbos, this car represents the purest expression of Porsche's groundbreaking turbocharged road car.

Specially ordered by a favored Porsche customer, #0117 was specified with an extraordinary combination of factory options including air conditioning, a Becker Grand Prix radio, and dealer-installed Cibié fog lights. Most notably, it was ordered without a sunroof, a highly desirable feature that further enhances its rarity and appeal among collectors.

What truly sets this Turbo apart is its fascinating factory documentation. Chassis #0117 was equipped with an exceptionally early gearbox that appears out of normal production sequence and traces its origins to 1974. The factory gearbox card records revised 1st and 2nd gear ratios as well as a 40% limited-slip differential, highlighting Porsche's intensive development efforts during the earliest days of 930 production. Even the gearbox identification sticker was hand-written, a remarkable detail seldom seen on production cars.

Adding to the intrigue, the original engine produced 269 horsepower on the factory dyno, exceeding Porsche's official 260-horsepower rating. This places #0117 among the strongest documented early 3.0-liter Turbos and provides a fascinating glimpse into the hand-built nature of Porsche's first turbocharged flagship.

This example has benefited from an obsessive, no-compromise restoration focused on factory-correct authenticity. Every detail was scrutinized, from date-coded turn signal lenses and proper factory overspray patterns to correctly dated Fuchs wheels, Bilstein shocks, aluminum crossmembers, factory inspection markings, yellow zinc-plated hardware, one-piece aluminum ATE brake calipers, banana-style trailing arms, and the numerous unique components specific to the early 930/50 engine and exhaust system. Even the black anodized finish on the window trim and door frames required multiple attempts before achieving the exact factory-correct appearance.

Driving an early 3.0-liter Turbo is unlike any later 930. Lighter, more responsive, and unmistakably connected to the earlier 911s, it delivers a uniquely engaging experience while retaining the thrilling surge of Porsche's pioneering turbocharged technology.

Rarely does a first-year 930 emerge with such unusual factory specifications in such a beautiful color.

Chassis 9305700117 stands as a remarkable example of Porsche's earliest Turbo era and a centerpiece-worthy addition to any world-class collection.
