Vehicle description

When Porsche presented the Type 911 as the designated successor to the proven 356 at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1963, doubts made the rounds as to whether customers would really accept the new model. A year later, you didn't have to worry anymore. The new 911 from Zuffenhausen became the darling of sports car drivers. After about ten years of construction, the 911 was then extensively revised. The most striking feature of this new 911 generation are raised bumpers with black plastic bellows. Between the rear lights of the G-models is a red bezel and a Porsche lettering attached. The rear number plate is flanked by two large rubber buffers with integrated license plate lighting.

A 911 3.0 from the year of construction 1977 can now be purchased in this auction. This Porsche was first delivered in Germany in April 1977. The car has been owned by the seller for over 30 years. According to the seller, this 911 has a total of three previous owners. Some documents and a partially stamped checkbook are available, which is why the history of this Porsche can be almost traced.

After a complete overhaul of the vehicle between 2015 and 2016, a GTÜ classic car report with a grade of 1- was prepared. Since then, the car has only been moved for almost 900 km.

The body of the Porsche is equipped with a US look and a turbo spoiler. The headlights are in the EU version. The seller states that the turn signal glasses at the back are sold as accessories.

The Porsche rolls on original Fuchs rims (7x16 on the front and 8x16 on the rear), which are in good shape. The contact to the road is transmitted by tires of the Continental brand, which, according to the seller, should be replaced by new ones due to old age.

According to the seller, the 911 stood most of the time since 2016 and was only moved 900km, so a service would be advisable.
