Porsche introduced the 911 Turbo (Type 930) at the 1974 Frankfurt
Motor Show,
bringing turbocharging from the racetrack to the road. Defined by
its wide
fenders, luxurious cabin, and signature "whale tail," it launched
with a
3.0-liter flat-six and reinforced four-speed manual, making it
among the world's
fastest cars. In 1978, displacement increased to 3.3 liters,
featuring an
intercooler for enhanced power and efficiency. Pulled from the U.S.
in 1980 due
to emissions, it returned in 1986 with a flourish and improved
drivability and
refinement. Car and Driver remarked, "Antics that would have spun
you out before
hardly faze it. The brakes are superb."
As noted on its original window sticker, this 1987 911 Turbo Coupe
was delivered
to the U.S. and first sold through Pray Porsche of Greenwich,
Connecticut.
Finished in classic Grand Prix White-first introduced for the
Carrera 2.7
RS-over a Black partial-leather interior, the car was optioned with
a
limited-slip differential, pushing the total price to nearly
$61,000. It is
furnished with service records dating back to 1986, which list the
original
delivery date as 7 November 1986. The Turbo remained in New England
with regular
but limited use through 2004, when it was acquired by the current
caretaker,
having covered a remarkably low 13,000 miles.
Today, this 911 Turbo remains in fantastic original condition,
displaying just
under 17,000 miles at the time of cataloging. Owned by enthusiasts
since new
with a clear preservation mindset, the car features desirable yet
reversible
updates that include Rest-of-World taillights, a stainless-steel OE
Porsche
muffler, Bosch H4 headlights, a rear fog light, and a 930S-style
leather
steering wheel. The car is offered with its original window
sticker, Certificate
of Authenticity, books, brochures, tools, jack, and the original
steering
wheel.
