Well I went to bid on this car and it went for about 13k. It had a blown engine with a lot of upgrades to the engine. I bid around 8k but I just felt that 13k was too high. Even though it was a 76 it had the 3.3L engine. What do you guys think. Was 13k to high or am i just cheap?

Yea I will take a look at the engine number when I go. As for performance upgrades http://www.powerhaus.com/911.htm is the only site I have found. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Yea the color is great. The car is not in running condition so when I go look at it i'll see whats what. My father, who is an experienced mechanic, spoke to the person who currently has the car and he said it might be a blown turbo. Which probably isn't that big of a deal since I planned on upgrading the turbo anyways. I'll be happy as long as there no real major Engine damage, pistons, heads, etc.. When I go look at it is there anything in particular I should look out for?

Thanks, I figured as much but I wasn't 100% sure. I knew that the 3.3L wasn't until 78 but I really didn't know if people bothered to swap the newer engines. So thats why I was a little confused. I'm somewhat new to the early model Porsche's but I fell in love with this one once I saw it. This is a good site, If i end up buying this car I will definitely use this site as a resource. Thanks guys.

All this I already knew, but this doesn't answer the question regarding this particular car. I'm told it's a 76 but it has the "larger grill area" on the whale tail. So my question is, what kind of engine does this car have because it was my impression that the 3.0L did not have that whale tail shown in the pic.

I'm having trouble determining the details regarding a particular car I am trying to purchase. The listing says that it is a 1976 930. Now it's my understanding that prior to 78 the turbo models had "Turbo Carrera" written on the tail while post 78 has just "Turbo". The only other explanation I can come up with is that the previous owner did modifications such as adding the 3.3L 78-86 engine. Basically I need to know if this could possibly be a stock 76 930 with a 3.3L engine or is it modified 76 with a 3.3L engine. Thanks, I have uploaded the only two pics available.
