I remember 7 or 8 yrs ago a pt of mine sold his mint 75/6 for 20k, I remember passing on the deal at the time, DUMB!

I sure hope so. And short movies like this will help. I think Magnus has affected the way older Porsches are regarded, and prices are rising as a result of his moderate fame and love of the classic models.

You serious aren't you. The Long hoods and 356's were very collectible long before anyone heard of this guy.

Ahh,, yawn..

I keep seeing this emphasis on '75s being "hand built". All 911s in that era were still made with little robotics and most by hand.. Which at that time was becoming the exception and not the norm. The T-Carrera was the flagship model and every car was tested and built to higher standards than the 911. The early turbo Carreras had aluminum bumpers, fiberglass deck lid other parts which helped reduce the weight for homologation. There are difference between 75-76-77 cars but they're most cosmetic. Yes I'm aware of larger wheels and power assisted brakes on '77s. Still not a huge development.

When you start taking apart (physically) a Turbo Carrera as opposed to a later Turbo you can see the differences. I think all early 3.0 litre cars are true race specials.

I understand that. I just know that he has been the face of a lot of classic Porsche short films that have been watched by a vast amount of people that helped grow Porsche owners, collecters, enthusiasts. I never said he was the reason, I merely said that the interest in him, sparks interest from others, which may effect values.

It may help the continued negative vibes for the ’75-77 930’s in many magazines and price guides. The new Total 911 magazine rates '75-77 930's as 2 out of 5 stars (same as a 1973 911E) and the brand new Excellence Magazine price guide still has them as the lowest valued 930. We all know this is not true but Magnus Walker's video may help wake them up.

It just goes to show how little these magazines really know about the value and market for certain Porsches. Maybe some genius editor will come across this thread and rethink their 35k value for a turbo carrera

If you want a 930, buy one now. They fully depreciated about 8-10yrs ago and are going up about 4-5% a year. Compounded, thats not bad. In another 7-10yrs I believe they will cross their original MSRP. I bought my '88 in 2003 for $32.5k and have turned down $50k more instances than I can count in recent times. Thats a 66% increase in about 10 years. I foresee the same path in the future for all 930s older and newer.

356s spiked about 15yrs ago. Longhood 911s about 7-10yrs ago. Both never to return to old prices. I think the 930 is next. In fact, the 3.2 Carreras and even the 3.0 SCs are really starting to gain an audience.

That is unless the US economy finally hits the wall and our currency crashes. If so, disregard everything I just said!

Magnus is behind the making of ALL of these short films which are filmed by his pals in the industry. Magnus knows how to promote himself well and he has done a great job with these short films.....kudos to him !

Singer could buy up a bunch of the early 930s with high mileage, smokey leaking engines and sheepskin seat covers , recondition+ re-invent them as mid-6 figure cars. When I picked my '79 up new I knew it would be a keeper. I did spice it up a bit with subtle performance and RUF tweeks. Magnus' dialogue mentions that these early cars should be left to their original patina. That being said, I hope that he puts his signature on some of these new 930 additions to his early 911 corral.
The early 930s have always had an awesome lure to them, the recent upswing in market prices was long overdue. You don't need a Tony Robbins seminar to drive interest in this car, the early 930 genre speaks for itself. Sorry Barron , I've gone off your topic !

Hes obviously an entrepreneur w/his clothing line. Learning of this promotional cleverness would not surprise me.

I drove a 77 turbo carrera today, came away very impressed. The difference in weight is very apparent Vs a 79 930.

Well, after removing the spare tire, replaced and relocated the battery with a lithium 4 lb battery, removed headlamp washer components, ac components, replaced the flywheel with a lightweight model, 964 rear bumper, RUF front bumper, My 79 weighed 2671 with a half tank of fuel when it was cornered balanced. They list the 75 through 77 930 weight at 2670. So I feel good about that. Especially since my flywheel hp is close to 400.

Am I reading this right? $175k or is it $17,500
