In the heart of Joe Anselmo Motorsports, history has once again taken the driver's seat. Our latest arrival, a garage-find 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera, has become the talk of the town for all the right reasons. With its original Grand Prix White paint hidden under a layer of dust and grime, this classic beauty is not just a car; it's a living testament to the iconic Porsche legacy.
A Journey Through Time: The Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera (Type 930)
The Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera, part of the Type 930 generation, made its debut in the mid-1970s, introducing turbocharging to the 911 series for the first time. This innovation transformed the 911 into an exhilarating powerhouse, earning it the nickname "The Widowmaker." The 1976 model we have the privilege to host at our shop is a prime example of that era's engineering brilliance.
