In 1977 a friends dad bought a new one and he brought it to High Scholl occasionally. It was the pre-intercooler version and had considerable turbo lag but once it got spooled up it gave you a good kick in the back. It was ice green metallic with like a peanut butter leather. What a beautiful car.
The down side of these cars is that usually they have had the dog ***** run out of them. Have a leak down test done and take it to a good Porsche mechanic for a check up. Remember that these engines are fairly well tweaked from the factory so they aren't good for lots of miles before they need valves and more.

The Turbo did not go Motronic until 94. |
