76-85 - handcrafted, welded (vs. stamped) fender flares
76-79 - no electronic gizmos (no power seats, power locks, ABS, etc.)
76-79 - Jekyll & Hyde turbo kick, with a waste Gate spring set at 0.8 bars
76-79 - 3-spoke leather steering wheel
78-79 - 3.3 liter, intercooler, more power and larger fuel head than 86-89s
78-79 - heavier than the 76-77 but lighter than the 86-89’s
78-79 - leather dash
79 - only year Porsche won Le Mans with a RSR Group 5, 935 (homologated
930)
79 - last year of the true “930” VIN
78-79 - only 2 years Porsche built a Turbo with a Intercooler but no Catalytic
Converter. After 1979 the turbo did not pass US NITSA emissions.
78-83 - are a bit more torquier then other years.

78-79 - Sport seats are better than later ones
78-early 79 - Snorkels!
