Need some help in identifying this Porsche

[911SC Pilot]

I need some help in indentifying this Porsche, Its looks to be a Euro model, hence the orange side marker light, but what is it? Is it a 911, a 930, a twin turbo, a turbo, a Carrera ? Any guess of a year ?

Its a picture that is hanging in my den, of which was my fathers, but has no markings of what it is.

turbo

i think the built in fog lights indicate a '84 or newer ??

sorry the pic is so crappy.

My guess is a 1984 to 1989 Turbo Look Carrera or real Turbo. Integrated fogs, side marker light - looks like flares front and rear. Turbo tail

[911SC Pilot]

Was, or is there anything special about this type of Porsche ?

[MrKJBlue]

Why would it have European side indicators and the side lights in the bumper?

The turbo tail kind of looks to be of the "extended" DP nature. Otherwise, I agree to the '84 up turbo/look.

Bingo. I dont know either. Thats why I was a little confussed.

[Oh Haha]

I have the same picture in my garage.
Mine says "Porsche 930 Turbo" under it.
Doesn't state the year, though.

and a summer month (I cannot recal which) from a 1985 calender. It was not Porsche specific and included alot of eighties dream cars.

Every persons favorite dream car that year was the picture you have. That image was mounted above a restroom urinal in a bicycle shop that I worked in. I saw it often.

Hope that helps. Shawn.

Probably a gray-market car that had the bumper lights installed as part of federalization. Not uncommon at all. My guess then is that it is a '84 or '85 Turbo or Turbolook.

If you can see an antenna on the right fender, than it's an `84, otherwise, it's `85-`89 (turbo/turbo-look). Side markers indicate that it's a ROW (but not necesarily "Euro"?) car.
