HISTORY/DOCUMENTATION
A remarkably original and exceptionally well-preserved 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0. A rare find, finished in the beautiful original green colour (258), combined with a Braunbeige/Shetland interior. A car with a particularly fine history, comprehensive documentation and, above all, an exceptionally high degree of originality. This Porsche was delivered new on 15 September 1976 by the Porsche dealer in Schultz, Germany. The original Porsche Geburtsurkunde (birth certificate) is present and confirms the original specifications, including the matching numbers of the engine and gearbox.

• Chassis number: 9116600116
• Engine number: 6660156
• Gearbox number: 7161139
• Original colour code: 258-9-2
• Interior code: 65 – Braunbeige/Shetland

The car is fitted with the following factory options:

401 – 15-inch alloy wheels, black
440 – Radio aerial
443 – Tinted windows
481 – Five-speed manual gearbox

The vehicle’s history is supported by various documents on file. In addition to the original ‘Geburtsurkunde’, the original ‘Betriebsanleitung’ is also present. Furthermore, a preserved German invoice from 1984 shows that the chain tensioners were replaced at that time. After delivery in Germany, the car was later exported to Illinois, where it remained with a single owner for almost 40 years. Maintenance invoices and other documentation from this period are also available. In 2016, the Porsche was brought to the Netherlands. Since then, several servicing appointments have been carried out, the most recent of which was in 2025. A particularly well-documented example with a verifiable matching-numbers configuration and a history that is highly appealing for a car of this age.

EXTERIOR
The car is finished in the stunning original factory colour of green, colour code 258-9-2, known as ‘Speedwaygrün’. The paintwork was professionally repainted in the past, solely for cosmetic reasons. What makes this Porsche special is that the original green factory paintwork is still visible in various places all round the car. Examples include the underside of the bonnet and other sheltered areas. This is a particularly valuable indication of the bodywork’s exceptional preservation and damage-free history.
The combination of the professionally executed paintwork and the original factory paintwork still visible on the protected areas provides a particularly good indication of this car’s original condition and history. The bodywork presents itself in a particularly fine and well-maintained condition. We have professionally cleaned the underside using dry-ice cleaning, which means that the underside can also be assessed to an excellent standard (see also our extensive photo report). The original black 15-inch alloy wheels are fitted and feature Continental tyres that are as good as new.

INTERIOR
The interior is in an exceptionally fine, original condition. It is finished in the original Braunbeige/Shetland colour (code 65), a particularly attractive combination with the green body colour. It is rare to find an interior of this age that has been so well preserved. The upholstery, trim and other interior components are exceptionally neat and, for the most part, in a condition that hardly suggests an age of nearly 50 years. An important detail is that the interior still retains its original look and authenticity. Together with the original controls and the included original owner’s manual, this contributes to the authentic character of this Porsche.

TECHNICAL
Under the boot lid lies the original 3.0-litre air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine. With a displacement of 2,994 cc, this engine delivers 200 pk and 255 Nm of torque as standard. The engine runs smoothly and the car drives, brakes and changes gear as it should. The original five-speed gearbox (optional) provides a well-spaced gear ratio and makes this Carrera a particular pleasure to drive. An important aspect is the matching-numbers configuration. Both the engine number and the gearbox number correspond to the details on the original Porsche ‘Geburtsurkunde’. The car has received the necessary maintenance over the years. Various servicing appointments have been carried out in the Netherlands, with the most recent service taking place in 2025. We cleaned the underbody using dry-ice cleaning in November 2026, providing a clear picture of its technical and cosmetic condition.

GENERAL
The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 occupies a special place in the history of the air-cooled 911. Introduced in 1975 as the successor to the Carrera 2.7, the Carrera 3.0 was fitted with a larger, 2,994 cc air-cooled boxer engine. This produced 200 pk and was technically related to the engine of the legendary 911 Turbo 3.0. The Carrera 3.0 was produced only during the 1976 and 1977 model years. ‘Carrera’ means ‘race’ in Spanish. In 1978, it was succeeded by the 911 SC 3.0. As such, the Carrera 3.0 represents an interesting transition between the early, classic 911 generation and the later SC models. It is precisely the combination of its relatively limited production run, the powerful 3.0-litre engine, the classic bodywork and the characteristic handling that makes this model particularly popular amongst Porsche enthusiasts and collectors. The Carrera 3.0 is also a model that is gaining increasing recognition within the world of classic air-cooled Porsches. In particular, examples with matching numbers, original factory specifications and a high degree of originality are in great demand.
