Stuttgart Market Letter

[Tom]

My Fellow Carpokeans....

I wanted to bring your attention to a new(ish) free resource for Porsche fans. The Stuttgart Market Letter is a daily email report that summarizes online sales of Porsches, along with commentary on the market and noteworthy sales. I heard abut this from a friend a few months ago, and have been addicted to it ever since. If you are interested in seeing what's been selling lately, and for how much, it's definitely worth signing up. The Stuttgart Market Letter is a modern version of the old Porsche Market Report, for those who remember that, except with information that hours old rather than weeks or months old. We're planning to run a Carpokes ad in the market letter too, since we are both grassroots resources for Porsche enthusiasts! Please use the link to sign up below. It's free, with no strings attached!

Thanks for posting this Tom. Our region, Musik-Stadt, posts various articles from David Whitlock's Stuttgart Market Letter in the monthly newsletters and they are always interesting. (I've also used some of his quotes a few times on Carpokes .) His reports and info are very good.

"The 930 Turbo, Porsche’s first turbocharged 911, was developed to meet homologation requirements for Group 4 racing which required 400 units to be produced. Powered by a 3.0-liter flat-six engine with a single KKK turbocharger, it produced an impressive 260 horsepower, delivering exhilarating performance with explosive turbo lag that defined its character. The 930 Turbo turned out to be even more successful than Porsche had hoped, as it surpassed the required 400 units quite easily with over 2,800 units of the original 3.0-liters being built, and cemented the 911 Turbo’s legacy for decades to come.

This 1976 911 Turbo Carrera was one of the ~530 examples built for the US and came finished from the factory in Silver Metallic over a Brown leather interior. The previous owner acquired the car as a rolling chassis and went to work repainting it in its factory paint, but opted to reupholster the interior in a a beautiful Russet leather. A replacement turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six was installed during the refurbishment and received plenty of work after the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2023. Offered as part of Harper Porsche’s Collection, this example shows just 312 miles on the odometer since the original refurbishment and is in excellent condition.

Early 3.0-liter 930 Turbos have been on a run this year going from an average price of $117,000 in January to $192,000 today. Our Spotlight car last sold at Gooding & Co.’s Amelia Island sale in 2023 at a strong $190,400. This time around, it hammered at $224,000. Not a bad return for a little over a year."

Beautiful. Reminds me of the first 911 I ever drove in -- also a silver 1976 Turbo Carrera! It was one of the first in the US, owned by the (wealthy) father of my friend. In a land of Vegas, Pintos, Chevette's and Sunbirds, where fix-it tickets were the norm, that car was as other-worldly as it was unobtainable back then. It had mostly black interior, but with some (yet not all) carpets in a dark blue instead, for reasons no one could really explain. The joke was that they assembled it during Octoberfest....
