This 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo was specified from the factory in black with yellow leather and delivered new in Munich, Germany. It later spent time in the US before being returned to Europe, where it underwent a 1,000-hour refurbishment by Tuthill Porsche in England from 2017 to 2019. A repaint in black with gold graphics, rebuilds of the engine and transaxle, and overhauls of the suspension and brakes were performed as part of the project, and the interior was later re-trimmed in yellow leather. Chassis 9306700598 was displayed at the the 50 Years of Porsche 911 Turbo celebration in 2024 at Salon Privé Blenheim Palace before being brought to the US. The car rides on gold-finished 15″ Fuchs wheels and is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six linked with a four-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It is further equipped with front lip and whale tail rear spoilers as well as a sunroof and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo. This 930 Turbo is now offered by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, in Florida with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, refurbishment records, and a clean Arkansas title.
