In addition to the original certificate of origin, the original owner’s manual is also included. A preserved German invoice from 1984 further indicates that the chain tensioners were replaced at that time. After being delivered in Germany, the car was later exported to Illinois, where it remained with a single owner for nearly 40 years. Maintenance invoices and other documentation from this period are also available. In 2016, the Porsche arrived in the Netherlands. Since then, several maintenance services have been performed, the most recent of which was in 2025. This is an exceptionally well-documented example with a verifiable matching-numbers configuration and a history that is highly appealing for a car of this age.EXTERIORThe car is finished in the stunning original factory color green, color 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 factory green paint is still visible in various places all around the car. Examples include the underside of the hood and other protected areas. This is a particularly valuable indication of the body’s exceptional preservation and damage-free history.The combination of the professionally executed paintwork and the still-visible original factory paint on the protected areas provides an exceptionally clear picture of this car’s original condition and history. The bodywork looks exceptionally attractive and well-maintained. We have professionally cleaned the undercarriage using dry-ice cleaning, which means the undercarriage can also be thoroughly assessed (see our extensive photo report for more details). The original black 15-inch alloy wheels are present and are fitted with Continental tires that are as good as new.INTERIORThe interior is in an exceptionally beautiful, original condition. It features the original Braunbeige/Shetland color scheme (code 65), a particularly attractive combination with the green body color. 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 its age of nearly 50 years. An important detail is that the interior still retains its original look and authenticity. The authentic Becker radio is also still present. Together with the original controls and the included original owner’s manual, this contributes to the authentic character of this Porsche.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSUnder the trunk lid lies the original 3.0-liter air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine. With a displacement of 2,994 cc, this engine delivers 200 pk and 255 Nm of torque as specified by the manufacturer. The engine runs smoothly, and the car drives, brakes, and shifts as it should. The original five-speed manual transmission (optional) provides a well-spaced gear ratio and makes this Carrera a pleasure to drive. An important feature is the matching-numbers configuration. Both the engine number and the transmission number match the information on the original Porsche Geburtsurkunde. The car has received the necessary maintenance over the years. Several service visits were performed in the Netherlands, with the most recent service in 2025. We cleaned the undercarriage in November 2026 using dry-ice cleaning, providing a clear view of its technical and cosmetic condition.GENERALThe Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 holds 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 equipped with a larger, 2,994 cc air-cooled boxer engine. This engine 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-liter engine, the classic body style, and its characteristic handling that makes this model particularly beloved by 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 especially sought after.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 – 1976• Original 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0• Matching numbers – original engine and transmission• Original factory color “Speedwaygrün”• Original factory paintwork still visible all around on various body panels• Exceptionally original and beautiful Braunbeige/Shetland interior• Original Porsche “Geburtsurkunde” (certificate of origin) included• Original owner’s manual and Becker radio included• Original black 15-inch alloy wheels includedHISTORY/DOCUMENTATIONA remarkably original and exceptionally well-preserved 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0.
