"Equipment for Switzerland" - 1976 930

[76Turbo]

on my COA, it lists this as an option... anyone know what this package contained?

[bkreigsr]

Might mean A/C delete?
You also have no sport seats, plush carpet, passenger side mirror, or sound equipment listed.
What color was the metalic 'sample'?
How about a picture?

I'm just guessing...probably some minor country-specific differences like engine bay stickers, wiring/lighting, or license plate hardware.

Skis?

The Cap'n

[ThomO]

Cheese cutter

[timmy2]

A clock?

[Draden]

Swiss Army knife instead of standard tool kit?

[snbush67]

An Alphorn perhaps?

[dafischer]

Ricola in the glove box?

[timmy2]

Are the seats a Toblerone chocolate color?

[rlane930]

Switzerland may have required different lighting (fog light color or H-4 black-out wedges on the lens covers). Do you still have the ECE code decals on your door jam? Your Pirelli tires could have been P7's or CN36's but the only way to tell for sure is by your transmission type or if you have the original 300 kph speedo (different part # for RoW 930's equipped with P7's). Very cool that your car is both paint to sample and leather to sample.

Maybe Porsche hired this Swiss maniac (), Roland/proffighter, to drill the living **** out of each and every part on the car, and to make new, lightweight versions of the parts he couldn't drill?!

2 main things come to mind: smog testing and noise laws.

Starting january 1st, 1976 first registration date, cars have to be smog tested yearly (variable intervals for cat and non-con-cat cars)

The 930 had a difficult time passing noise regulation when first homologated in Switzerland. Might be worth to check if there are any specific part numebrs for the exhaust setup.

Last thing to consider is the equipment that the swiss importer put on all imported cars, for instance the right side mirror, which was an option in Germany until late 80's. Rear wiper? Leather seats?

[76Turbo]

Ha! Thank you for the smart-a**-feedback!

it appears to have an after-market AC since the PO removed the rear wiper to fit the condenser, so the no AC comment makes sense. Car does have rightside mirror and thick carpeting...

because it was asked - here is an early 80's pic of the car - currently she is in the body shop getting an ugly 'dark' blue the PO also had her painted, removed, so that she can go once again back to original (which has been tough to put a finger on exact paint match)

A 1976 RoW Turbo had optional A/C and the COA would have listed A/C as an option so it's not that. Additionally, it appears you tail is the version with the small secondary vent (without A/C) that is correct on '75 and '76 Turbos.

Or the most likely answer now a days - the COA is a POS and it contains information not applicable to MY or specific car
