I just listed my 1976 Porsche Carrera 3.0 on eBay:
VIN #: 9116600183
Engine Type: 930/02
Engine #: 6660227
Transaxle Type: 915/44
Transaxle #: 7161323
The Carrera 3.0:
The Carrera 3.0 was a European only model produced for the 1976 & 1977 model years. Successor to the Euro 2.7 Carrera, the key model features include a body shell with flared rear quarter panels and a 3.0l 200hp engine based on the 3.0 turbo engine. Only 3,691 Carrera 3.0 cars were produced for 1976 and 1977 (2,566 coupes and 1125 targas) making it a fairly low production version of the 911.
This Example:
This Carrera is #183 of 1093 coupes built for the 1976 model year and was optioned with the ‘sports’ package. It was purchased in Germany (still has ADAC phone list sticker in the glove box) and was shipped to Canada in the late 70’s by a returning Canadian Forces serviceman. It was bought and owned by the owner of the premier import tuning shop in Calgary in the early 80’s who occasionally tracked the car and rebuilt the engine prior to selling it on to a new owner in 1987. That owner maintained it well and had it painted the last year as the paint was starting to show its age. He found he wasn’t driving it as much as his newer Porsche model and put it up for sale. I recently purchased it for our family to use as my hot rod 911E is a bit too uncomfortable for weekend drives. While my wife likes it, she wants a later 993 instead, so this one is up for sale – hopefully to be replaced with a 993 Targa.

Summary:
While not a show car, this Carrera 3.0 is a nice presentable example of a relatively rare car. It has spent most of its life being summer driven in the dry Alberta climate and has none of the rust issues commonly found on Euro cars of this age. It’s a 35 year old car and has a degree of patina, but it’s been well cared for and is ready to drive anywhere. This would be an ideal candidate to be shipped back to Germany or any other European country as it’s in great structural shape.
Feel free to ask any questions or request addition detailed photos.

Excellence magazine values the 74-75 911 US Carrera (USA Version with 160 hp CIS 2.7 NOT the 210 MFI 2.7) with a low value of $29,200 and a high value of $39,000
The reserve for this rarer and more desirable 76 Carrera 3.0 is set much less than the low value of those examples!
