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."

Porsche GT division rules out AWD, SUVs
Fri, Mar 13 2015Any German automaker worth its lap times needs a performance division. Mercedes has AMG, BMW has the M division, Audi has Quattro GmbH with its S and RS models... even Volkswagen has its R line of hot hatches. And though Porsche is a performance automaker unto itself, even it has a performance division. It's called Porsche GT, and though it's been branching outside the 911 range lately, don't expect it to wander too far. According to Car and Driver, which spoke recently with Porsche GT boss Andreas Preuninger and R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz, there are limits to what the division will do. And while those limits may have been broadened to include technologies like turbocharging and dual-clutch transmissions, they won't stretch as far as all-wheel drive. Take a look at the previous-generation 997 and what separated the 911 GT2 from the 911 Turbo was principally its all-wheel-drive system. Porsche GT isn't planning on doing a GT2 this time around – the new GT3 RS occupying that territory on its own – but the next generation (whether it wears the number 2 or 3) will likely go turbo along with most of the rest of the 911 family. The exclusion of all-wheel drive from the Porsche GT parts bin also means that the division won't be taking on the company's SUVs like the Cayenne and Macan. So the Cayenne GTS will be as extreme as it gets, taking on the likes of the BMW X5 M, Mercedes GL63 and Audi SQ5 without the help of Zuffenhausen's racing department. We can't expect the PDK to stick around though, so to speak. Though the new Cayman GT4 packs a manual transmission, the 911 GT3 and GT3 RS have dual-clutch gearboxes. Moving forward, Preuninger says they'll leave it up to prospective customers to decide which type of transmission they'll build into their most extreme performance models.

Porsche 911 going all-turbo this year save for GT3 and GT3 RS
Fri, Jan 23 2015The coming Porsche 911 GT3 RS will represent another high-water mark for the brand, and another milestone. Its 500-or-so horsepower and extreme aero are predicted to lop more than five seconds off the 7:20 Nurburgring lap time of the current GT3, making it "comfortably less" than 7:20. Beyond that, its naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter will form the basis of the turbocharged engines going into the standard range of 911s later this year as 2016 models. That's right – if you're looking for a sub-GT3 911 that gulps its air without compressed assistance, then you've only got a few months to get a new one into your garage. Emissions regulations are the reason, of course, with Porsche's R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz saying that, "Every new model will have lower CO2 than before," and "if you look at euro per g/km, then it's turbo." We don't know what the engine lineup will look like, however; a few months ago Car reported that the base 911 would get a smaller-displacement version of the engine, while the S would stick with 3.8-liter displacement and jump to 520 horsepower, which is the same as the current Turbo. After that, Hatz said, "at the end of the decade electrification has to be the next huge step." That means a hybrid 911 is being cooked up somewhere. Yet even as the brand leaps into the new, there's a chance it could dip a toe back into the old: the 911 GT3 RS will launch with a PDK, but Hatz's team is considering adding the option of a seven-speed manual. Elsewhere in the range, the Cayman GT4 is being engineered by Porsche Motorsport as an entry-level racer, with more power than the current Cayman GTS to go with some serious weight loss. They are also developing a track-only model for privateers. The standard Boxster and Cayman will get turbocharged flat-four engines, but there'll be a sporty Boxster that also loses weight and gets more power than the 325-hp Boxster GTS. And that mid-level supercar that's been floating in the ether for years and supposedly sent to purgatory again just last November? It's on the way by 2020 "at the latest," and will use a version of the new V8 that will eventually go into the Cayenne and Panamera.
