I have a 1977 Carrera that was imported back to the USA in the 1980s Your assessment of the vehicles driving characteristics are spot on I’m lucky enough to own A few air cooled Porsches the 1977 is my favorite Raw and fun Please keep this content coming.
I owned a '76 Carrera 3.0 back in the early 1980s in exactly the same metallic ice green as the car in the video. Mine was a Sportamatic and originally ordered by the owner of AFN in Isleworth. Wonderful car . . . replaced after some three years by a '78 911 SC Sport. Happy days!
Great Review Lee. About time the C3 has been reviewed properly in length. It deserves more credit than what it’s given. There certainly different than a 2.7 and an SC and 3.2, I can attest to this as I have owned one for 2 years and a well sorted C3 like the one reviewed are amazing to drive and much more responsive due to the different Cam and light 6 bolt flywheel and weight . I own a 1976 Australian delivered coupe. Other differences from 76 to the 77, the 77 got an omega spring for the clutch and power assited brakes. 76 Being I think a little more raw than a 77 and a little more rare in numbers, either way the owner of that vehicle is a lucky Chap as you Brits say😁. Bar an MFI 2.7 G body and maybe a distant 1976 turbo 930 which I’ve been fortunate to drive in anger, the Carrera 3.0 is a Gem, a sleeper whicj will only go North in value, as MFIs and 930 Turbos are insanely expensive. Ohh also regarding restoration spot on, once you start It’s like opening a can of worms, minimum 100k-200k Australian dollars, parts and labour in that cost. Best Frank
Forse il motore delle 911 che gira a temperatura piu alta: fondamentale usare olio che abbia viscosità a 100°C almeno 21 mm2/s ...in tanti hanno sostituito l'originale ventola a 5 pale con quella a 11 ma senza ottenere grossi miglioramenti

I had a 77 Carrera 3.0 wonderful car. Wish I still had it. But you can't keep them all I suppose.
