The Carrera 3.0 remains, to me, a somewhat mysterious car. Never offered in the US, these 911s followed in the footsteps of the fabled Carrera RS as a lightened and more powerful variant of an already excellent machine. The US market retained only the standard 911S, which used a 2.7 liter flat-six that remained hampered by restrictive emissions equipment. Now these highly regarded 911 models can be found on our shores, though their relationship – even if somewhat fleeting – to the Carrera RS has made them quite desirable. We’ve featured a few in the past and it has been tough to get a sense of where the market exactly lies as asking prices and auction bids rarely seem to match up. But here we have another, a restored Oak Green Metallic 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 located in Belgium, that has seen plenty of miles during its life and currently shows around 112K miles.

the engine has been rebuilt for the first time in 1986 by Derkum Motortuning (Horst Derkum) who was an engine tuning legend at that time. special pistons – camshafts were used. Reinhold Schmirler then continued to word on this car (RS tuning in Germany) which is an even greater legend. The engine is a bit unstable upto 2500rpm, but at 3000rpm it is absolutely marvellous (due to the camshafts).
Fg porsche rebuilt the engine again in 2010 respecting the pistons and camshafts.

Given the mileage this car has seen this looks like a very nice restoration. The interior we’d probably label as good rather than spectacular, but the exterior looks really good. I would guess much of the attention during restoration focused on that exterior. However, there are a couple potential issues. This Carrera comes with its original Fuchs wheels, but the rear wheels have been widened to 9.5 inches. They look really nice, but I wonder how much appreciation buyers may have for them given the collectible nature of these cars and the focus on originality. In addition, it appears to be missing its whale tail. I know that some Carrera 3.0 came with the tail deleted, but there is no mention of that here and since it does possess the front spoiler then I assume it originally had a tail. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I would be looking for some clarity there. Otherwise, this Carrera looks great; it’s a pretty rare color for its time and given its higher mileage perhaps it will come at a little bit of a discount. That doesn’t mean cheap though. Bidding currently sits at $103,700 with reserve unmet. The last Carrera 3.0 I featured was bid up to $175,100 and that failed to meet the reserve. I don’t expect this one to see that sort of figure, but it does suggest we may be a long way from the reserve here.

I came close to buying one of these back in 1988. It was a Minerva Blue Targa. I drove it around for an afternoon, but at the end of the day, it started running rough and it scared me away. Sweet car. Nice day with the top off.
Everyone has their idea of what a perfect classic 911 should be. I was sure mine would be a vintage long-nose. Now I’m not so sure, that is one beautiful 911. I think I prefer it without the tail, and that color is just stunning. Nice job with the rear wheel widening too. Wow.
