This 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa is a desirable G Series example with documented early Australian history, tourist delivery provenance and factory tartan trim. Power comes from a 3.0 litre naturally aspirated air cooled flat six producing 147kW (200hp), paired with a five speed manual transmission, with the odometer currently showing 195,400 kilometres TMU.
The Carrera 3.0 occupies an important position in 911 history, bridging the earlier impact bumper Carrera models and the later 911 SC while using a 2994cc engine derived from the same broad architecture as the 930 Turbo. Produced for the 1976 and 1977 model years, the Carrera 3.0 combined mechanical fuel injection, naturally aspirated response and classic narrow body proportions, giving it strong appeal among collectors who value air cooled 911s with meaningful model lineage. The Targa body style adds open air usability while retaining the fixed roll hoop that has become one of the defining visual elements of period Porsche design.
This example is finished in silver with a black Targa roof section and black Targa bar, over a tan interior with factory tartan cloth seat inserts and tan trim. Equipment visible in the supplied images includes Fuchs style alloy wheels, a three spoke Porsche steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, manual windows, right hand drive configuration and a period style cabin presentation. The seller advises the car is a tourist delivery example built to Australian Design Rules. The supplied material does not confirm any major modifications, and no tyre brand has been provided.
The seller advises the previous owner held the car for three years, with the accompanying history file including early European insurance paperwork, a 1981 Goben's European Car Centre receipt, OSCA Automotive invoices from 1983 to 1986, John Newell Porsche records from the mid to late 1980s, Porsche Centre Willoughby parts documentation, Autohaus Hamilton paperwork from 1993, later inspection and registration documents, and T&D Automotive Specialists invoices from 2010. The documents record work across routine servicing, lubrication services, tuning, fuel injection and fuel system work, gearbox and driveline related items, brake work, steering repairs, Targa roof rectification, shock absorbers and general mechanical maintenance. Later documentation includes NSW safety inspection reports in 2002 and 2004, Queensland registration paperwork from 2005, T&D Automotive records in 2010, and Victorian roadworthiness and transfer documentation from 2021. NEVDIS records indicate the vehicle was written off in New South Wales on 27 September 1998 and subsequently inspected and returned to registration.
The seller reports the body is good and straight, and advises the interior is very good. The seller also advises the car drives well. The sale includes a red history folder, keys and the documentation outlined above.
