This important distinction means that the standard options were based off the 1976 base model 911 which for the German market included only a single mirror, clear class, non-luxury interior including both the rougher style carpets and simpler door trim without stitching or carpeting, manual windows, reverting to chrome trim as standard per base 911, etc .

Ryan,
Thanks for sharing your extensive research on this model. Seems it was not homologated for racing then. Seems unlikely though these were just a small group of coupes produced to use up parts or they ran out of 3L engines . I too think a 'Club Sport' type model makes sense. These may have been the first type of 911 like the CS or the 964 C4 lightweight that Porsche produced.
Do you know what these sold for when new and how they compared in cost to the other '76 models?
