Why buy this 930? Real deal late 70's model 930 the most sought after variantCar is superb all around and is turnkey. Full documentation. The original color from the factory was T3/408/Bitter Chocolate (suppose to be a great color on a 911). I have yet to find pictures online in this shade of brown on a 930 so finding one ever for sale is highly unlikely. Thus the option to fully convert this 930 back cosmetically now or in the future would likely significantly up its value furtherPlease read on: Genuine 930 turbo widebody coupe 1978. One of approximately 400 or so 930 turbos produced for the USA in 1978 (not grey market or a regular 911 with a widebody and a turbo motor dropped in - be careful). This makes '78 the lowest production year for the 930. One of the few 70’s lightweight 930s built. Certificate of Authenticity. The low mileage is actual. Car is excellent top to bottom with top line upgrades and proper maintenance from day one (one owner for the first 33 years- car has only lived in CA, NV, and GA). Complete history and full maintenance/parts/upgrade receipt portfolio binder with original dealer sales receipt (from Niello Porsche-still in business today) from the day of delivery in '78 up to to the present. ***This is an important must have when buying a classic Porsche turbo. Everything done to the car has been top shelf, no expenses spared type of deal and it shows. This 930 is currently serviced up and ready for the next owner. The car's cosmetics are excellent and it has to be one of the tightest and finest driving and sounding 930s anywhere. It is not tore up like many that you see out there asking for top dollar. It will of course pin you to your seat. But, it is also a smooth 930 due to the updates and proper maintenance over the years which I believe sets this 930 apart from others. I would not hesitate to drive this widowmaker cross country. Engine fortified to 3.5 ruf specs. The engine has perfect compression and is free from excessive clatter that these air cooled motors sometimes have. Andial fuel management and intercooler, k27, ruf rsr 5speed transmission, updated clutch (smooth as butter), bilstein upgrade, hydraulic chain tensioners, polished 17 ruf wheels, headers, borla dual exhaust and more. COA/engine matching numbers. The interior is rich and exotic in cashmere and is the nicest one will find. Like the rest of the car, the original unrestored interior shows very little ‘patina’ that one usually finds in these classic 930s... those familiar with these cars will know exactly what I am talking about. It is like new(still smells new!) and all original except for the center console which was added but also trimmed in the same tan leather so it looks stock (935 turbo gauge installed and vdo clocked moved to console), ruf Momo 935 steering wheel, short shifter, upgraded rotary AC (blows cold). Stereo components and security upgraded 2013 high end spec(ipod, sat radio, amp, finished trunk etc). Unfortunately, I do not have the receipts (only ones missing) for the interior stuff, but it is all done professionally. All steel slant factory nose update. Exterior paint updated to one year avail only Porsche maraschino red metallic (again, the original color is 'bitter chocolate' – odd 70’s Porsche colors are en vogue (premium) and one could convert this car back to the original brown and have a $130k+ car flip. I contemplated doing this but decided the car is simply perfect as it is now. But, your choice to cosmetically set it back and I can help with resources (or even have it done for you after the sale) if you wish to do so. Mechanically, everything is way better than the way it came from the factory so I wouldn't change anything. All the original tools (never used), books present. Everything is up to date/serviced/sorted and it is turnkey. Recent PPI by a 30yr expert in these turbos states that it is "one of the finest examples of the 930 that he has ever inspected". An accident/rust free/very clean example. I cannot emphasize enough the high quality of this particular 930 making it a great value and investment. Note, insured via classic car insurance for $100k replacement for only $800/yr. Dash has some slight warping around the windshield vents and there is a small dime size paint spider noticeable if you look up real close on the rear decklid under the spoiler. Video avail by request. 100+ more pics here. I am terrible at taking pictures so expect the car to check out better in person...www.kizoa.com/slideshow-maker/d8969424k7950692o1/1978-porsche-930- Private sale. Will consider certain interesting 'equal+' value trades. Payment must clear before the pickup of the car and title.
