In this particular case, we offer anyone interested the option of "either/or" – either in brief or in more detail. Why? Because this Carrera 3.0 comes with two thick folders that tell a story like no other. Even in the comprehensive version – let's be clear – we won't be able to describe everything in every detail. A brief introduction to this special model, the Carrera 3.0: It was the link between the homologation model 2.7 RS and the early 930 Turbo. An unsung hero. One of only 479 Carrera 3.0 Targa models built in 1976. And the Carrera 3.0 we're offering here is – very likely – the only one in the world to be first delivered in the special color NATO green. The Short Version First delivered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany Original color: NATO Green (special color, code 99V according to the delivery certificate, and thus presumably the only one delivered from the factory in this color) Current paint: Grand Prix White (repainted in the 1980s) Interior: Original – black leather, perforated seat centers, dark blue carpet Mileage: 190,000 km, fully documented Ownership history: 1976–1984 in Germany, 1984–2006 in US officer ownership, then again in the USA, since 2012 back in Germany Special feature: Original color: NATO Green (repainting possible), complete documentation Note on pricing: based on current condition – return to the original color is left to the buyer. The whole story This 911 was delivered by Glöckler in Frankfurt am Main in 1976 – the first documented owner: a Hamburg advertising agency. Those familiar with the model know that it couldn't be sold directly to the USA because it didn't meet emissions regulations there. In 1984, however, a US Army officer stationed in Ansbach discovered the NATO green Carrera 3.0 for himself. With the mileage at 83,540 km, he bought the car for 23,000 DM, with the original purchase contract, of course. From this moment on, a story unfolds that reads like an archive on wheels: invoices, correspondence, documents – meticulously preserved. In 1985, the car was exported to Texas in the USA, more precisely, to Fort Hood, one of the largest military bases in the USA. Shortly before, the odometer had been converted – from 102,718 km to 63,826 miles. Mister D. and his wife maintain the car with passion and precision, as evidenced by well over 200 pages of paper in the form of invoices, personal correspondence, and notes. Two engine overhauls are documented – one of them in 2004 at 95,873 mls, costing $11,700. Shortly thereafter, the 911 is painted Grand Prix White. While we miss the 'why,' we learn everything and more about the quality of the work and the relationship with the painter over several pages... In 2006, the car changes hands quite suddenly and unexpectedly for the reader engrossed in the files, while Mister M. continues the documentation in the same manner. Again: invoices, notes, carpet samples, stickers. In 2012, German papers appear for the first time again: a TÜV report with no defects, a classic car appraisal, and the re-conversion to the odometer. Since 2013, the Carrera 3.0 has been back in the country – in Grand Prix white, with its original interior. Its condition: well-maintained, documented, and ready to go. The price reflects its current condition – with the option of one day restoring this special vehicle to its only known NATO green version. Some cars are simple, others charming. And then there are those with character. Our Carrera 3.0 Targa belongs to the third category – and is looking for someone to continue its story with it.
