Martin Donnon Posted 13March, 2016 Report Share Posted 13March, 2016 As shown in the intro thread I have my Aussie delivered Carrera 3.0 for sale. Its a 75 build car that was converted back in 1991 into a full Turbo S Leichtbau Replica. Its absolutely perfect in every way save for some light bubbling on the rear guards from when it was painted back in 1991. The shell is TOTALLY rust free and is the very first of the galvanised cars. I am chasing the closest offer I can get to $105K for it. Offer via message or ring me direct on 0414 437 356.SPECS AND HISTORY -Australian delivered 1975 Carrera 3 (has official recognition as being delivered by Hamiltons in 1976).Was originally a Talbot yellow car. It was one of 240 RHD models ever made. Chassis 91166000061 In approximately 1991 it underwent a full makeover by Perry Spiridis in Melbourne (all the Porsche guys know him)The body was converted to a 964 Turbo S Leicht-bau (super light) replica with all metal panel-work carried out by File Finish in Victoria.Guards were extra widened to accommodate the RUF BTR Speedline factory wide rims (17 x 10 on the rear).Shell is the first of the galvanised cars and totally rust free. Mechanically it is all turbo.Has a genuine factory 1987 3.3 Turbo engine with SC cams, stainless RUF extractors, K27 Turbocharger, and full exhaust.It is the factory (1987) intercooled spec engine and has the intercooler in place.The CIS Injection system is calibrated to the engine and it makes approximately 480hp (between RUF BTR and CTR spec)The transmission is a genuine RUF Turbo 5 speed (rare as unicorns)Brakes and suspension are factory turbo.Interior is all 930 turbo of the era and everything works.Seats are genuine Recaro A8 as used by RUF in their BTR and CTR cars.

Peter M Posted 13March, 2016 Report Share Posted 13March, 2016 Mmmmm, compelling proposition you make! What do you mean by 964 suspension? Doesn't it still have torsion bars all round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 13March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 13March, 2016 Yes that's an error - it has TURBO suspension. Apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 13March, 2016 Report Share Posted 13March, 2016 That is a very early production number 0061.Somewhere I read that 123 examples of the C3.0 came with a more powerful 210hp engine.l wonder if this car was one of those.GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 13March, 2016 Report Share Posted 13March, 2016 I shot of the car is in a garage in Surry Hills - is it here in Sydney, or with you in Adelaide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 14March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 14March, 2016 Its in Adelaide, where all the shots were taken. None of those shots were taken in NSW. The 'Garage' is the OTR BP Service Station on Glynburn Road in Burnside Its a very very early C3 - my figuring is that for the money got for the sale of the turbo bits it would make it a feasible backdate project if someone wanted to do that - or drive it around for a decade as is and enjoy the fact that its one of the quickest Outlaw cars out there.Took it for a drive this morning, no doubting its a proper muscle-car this thing!

ELSPORTO Posted 14March, 2016 Report Share Posted 14March, 2016 Hi Martin,do you have / know the whereabouts of the original motor?Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 14March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 14March, 2016 The original engine was apparently destroyed in a warehouse fire (I did some searching on it). The engine in it is a 930/68 late model intercooled turbo unit (1987 build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 15March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 This is what a totally rust-free C3 floor-pan looks like. It hasn't had any fresh under-body coating or anything put on it to 'hide' any issues. Its how it is, and a good representation of the condition of the rest of the car.

clutch-monkey Posted 15March, 2016 Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 neat. are there dyno sheets by any chance? the colour looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 15March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 Yes it has some purple in it. Even though I have my own Mainline AWD Dyno I haven't had it on there! If anyone is really interested in it then I suppose I can drive it into work and give it a run. SOTP dyno feels like about 240 - 250rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 14April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 14April, 2016 As part of my Porsche collection clear-out this one has to go. Make a sensible offer - closest to $89K will own this - its an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN at this price.It actually does get driven too. Cruising with the gang - Black SC, and Blue Carrera (76).

Martin Donnon Posted 19April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 19April, 2016 Where it lives. Will get it on the dyno in the next week or so as I have had some excitement from some wanting to know what power it makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 5May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 5May, 2016 Small mistake in the advert - sorry.Found out today after speaking with the original builder of the car it has a genuine RUF 5-Speed transmission in it........Ratios -1st: 2.792nd: 1.603rd: 1.154th: 0.835th: 0.63Final: 4.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 5May, 2016 Report Share Posted 5May, 2016 Now that's a nice surprise!Wasn't the shift pattern a giveaway? And maybe the extra gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 5May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 5May, 2016 GUT - No one, not the previous owner, or even the local Porsche specialist that has worked on it knew there was a 5th gear....it was the builder of the car that commented "Oh has it still got the RUF 5 speed close ratio transmission in it, hope so, I paid $25K for it back in the early 90s."And here I was thinking it just had a super-short diff which is why 110km/h = 3200rpm in 4th.All I can say is 'LOL' and of course - happy days He also pointed out that the RUF rims on the car had to be specially made by the factory for the rear at 12 inches wide - and that took plenty of time and money.

GUT Posted 5May, 2016 Report Share Posted 5May, 2016 How good is that!I would love that car. My hands are full though. GLWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Donnon Posted 6May, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 6May, 2016 I really think I might put this one in the 'keep' basket. If I can confirm its got the RUF BTR engine internals etc. which I believe it has - it wont be going anywhere. Simply too hard to replace or improve on really!

GUT Posted 6May, 2016 Report Share Posted 6May, 2016 GrrrMakes me even angrier that I missed this a year ago when they wouldn't bloody get back to me! Great outcome for you. Would love see it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskl60 Posted 7May, 2016 Report Share Posted 7May, 2016 For the un-initiated is there something special about 3.4 barrels, aside 100cc extra?Would definitely be a fun car! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
