A local shop here in Indy has recently acquired the first ever 930 imported into the US as a US spec car. I was just looking at it this past weekend. It is a '76, 15" Fuchs, driver's side mirror only, small rear bumperettes and fog lights. It also doesn't have center air vents. It has a beautiful (IMO) green plaid interior and dark metallic green exterior.

It is serial #14. After talking to the owner about it at great length, he explained to me that the first cars destined for the US were serial #'s 11, 12, 13 and 14. 11 through 13 were used for crash testing per us gov't, while 14 was used for EPA testing. #14 survived and ended up in the hands of a collector. It was recently purchased by the owners of the shop (Ooley-Blackburn). Apparently there will be an article about it in Excellence in the near future. When I inquired about it's value, the owner wouldn't give me a figure, but he did say he expected it was worth more than the '73 RS that he sold at Barret Jackson recently. I believe they sold that for over $200k, but not sure about that.

Sorry I can't offer any more information, but I found this to be very interesting so I wanted to share what I found.
