I bought mine specifically because it was the first year for the Turbo. If you like kooky, old, fairly low production cars, this model might be for you. If your looking for all out performance, look instead for a later model intercooled car. If things like Pop-out rear quarter windows, no consoles, 15 inch Fuchs and that beautiful Carrera whale tail appeal to you, a '76/'77 may be for you. I bought mine in need of a paint job and with some oil leaks that eventually required a rebuild. The total cost with me doing over 50% of the labor was in excess of 12K. I love my car and the quirks that distinguish it from the average Turbo, but if performance is what your after, a '78-on is much more suitable.
