Porsche Profile: Ken Ellaway 1977 Carrera 3.0 Coupe

Ken Ellaway's 1977 Carrera 3.0 Coupe parked on street

The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0, which was produced for only 2 years in 1976 and 1977, is a very special version of the inimitable 911. Due to its low production numbers, with only 3,687 units produced, it is also one of the rarest of the non-special edition 911s out there. But what makes it so special?

If you’re subscribed to Stuttcars, that means you already probably know the answer. For those that do not, the Carrera 3.0 married the lightweight and nimble body of the 2.7L 911 series with the die-cast aluminum crankcase that was developed for the Porsche 930 or 911 Turbo (as it is more commonly known).
