This is a wonderfully performing cabriolet Porsche with a rebuilt RUF 3.4 piston engine built by Supertec in California around 2002 with only 6k miles on it now. It has a really strong, tight engine that was obviously built well and at great expense. I actually purchased this car to use the engine in another car, but those plans were not possible to complete. So now its your turn to enjoy this car, it is strong, fast and solid with a 5 speed transmission, something sorely missing in an actual 930 Turbo until 1989. The Turbo up to 88 had a 4 speed with absolutely awful gearing and gear spacing, thats why my own 930 has and I had hoped this car's would be interechangable but was mistaken. The biggest problem with the car is the paint, all the mechanical functions as far as I can tell are fine and work well. I have included in the photos a copy of the Supertec billing showing all the work done, and some of the pics show the block as it was being built. Supertec has one of the best reputations for strong, solid, reliable 930 engines of anyone out there. This one is strong but not overstressed like some of those 800 hp monsters that are just grenades wating to explode. Reliable, fast, and powerful, AND a convertable - what more can one ask? Summer fun is just a "buy it now" away for you and yours to enjoy all summer long. I believe the car was yellow at one time, and as I have tried to explain the paint is the weakest point of the car, it has a lot of chips but no rust and no large dings or dents. This car as is would be perfectly good for a track car, but for the street you will want to consider some paint repair. I do not have the time or inclination to pursue making that aspect better. The boy racer look will appeal to some, but not to others, I understand that, but this is SUMMER and its time to put the top down and enjoy the rush of that wonderful turbo engine and with the 5 speed trans you will get the flexibility to make driving it a true joy. The flares are steel, but the front and rear valences, wing and scoopy stuff are fiberglass. Well done, but not to everyones tastes. A few replacement parts bought on ebay like the original Turbo wing, 964 rockers and valences will take this car from boy racer to really HOT! Car has what look like genuine Porsche turbo twist 17" wheels and newish high performance tires, and they work really well keeping it stuck to the road and making the twisties a joy to take on. Exhaust appears to be stainless and expensive, do not know the manufacturer but you know it did cost a lot. Headers for the 930 are notoriously pricey and this one looks practically new. The chassis might be an 85 but the rest of the car, the important bits are like new. I do not have the compression or leak down values, never checked them but they have to be good considering how healthy the car feels. I believe the history of the car will show it was originally sold in Florida to the fellow in CO I bought it from. Its a Euro delivery car which you can tell by the ZZZ in the VIN. ABSOLUTELY no rust since it went from FL to CO in the year 2001 and then went to Supertec in CA for all the modifications. A personal inspection is possible, car is located in northern Colorado west of Fort Collins in the foothills, but you must make an appointment to see the car. It is not insured to drive at the moment, I have used it very little since I have my own 930 cabrio with a speedster conversion, a really sweet ride. Car is sold as-is where-is with absolutely no warranty offered, implied or possible. The car is described to the best of my ability, it appears to be to be solid, I know its fast and feels really good in the twisties. Other than the paint I dont believe you will be disappointed. Condition of the Hartz fabric top (I believe) and rear plastic window is very good, and the car comes with a retracted top boot, also black Hartz cloth, like new. Take a look at the photos and let me know if you have any questions, I will do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible and answer your questions as honestly as I know how. Not a Porsche expert as such but have owned several 911-930 cars and know a good one from a bad one. I have a few records but not many, I did not get them with the car. Porsche has proven to me to be the single most reliable, least troublesome semi exotic car on the planet. Owned Mercedes, Porsches, Audis and other German, Italian and English marques and the Porsche is by far my favorite. Only reason this car is being sold is my ownership of a real 930 that I truly love. You will love this car too, I feel confident in that. Bidders with zero or feedback less than 5 must contact me before bidding for approval to bid. Your bid will be removed if you do not. This sale is a binding legal contract and all legal means will be untertaken to assure you fulfill your obligation to buy if you are the high bidder. If you dont have the money, PLEASE DO NOT BID. This is not a bid to inspect, full inspections are required before auction ends, payment in full is expected within 3 days of auction end, unless you are overseas as a wire transfer may take longer than that. Prior arrangements must be made before auctions's end. Email me if there is any question about bidding rather than just bidding and assuming we can work whatever out before payment is made. Transport is the buyer's responsibility altho I have a fellow I have used for years that can pick the car up at my home and take it directly to you with no onloading or offloading risking damage as on a multi car carrier. He just enjoys driving around the country in his pickup with a single car trailer and his prices are usually comparable with a large transporter. If you choose a large carrier with multi car carrier figure on adding around $170 to take it to the closest place a large semi trailer can go like Fort Collins or Masonville, CO. Car is inside and safe and can be kept for a period of time which is negotiable. Insurance becomes the responsibility of the buyer once payment in full is made, my insurance company will not cover it after my possession ends. So please figure on assuming insurance responsibility as soon as payment is made. Car is listed as 1980 because the eBay system will not accept the Euro VIN, but I can assure you it is legitimate, titled as an 85 with the VIN stamped on the panel under the hood, can provide photos of that if required. Not sure what happened since I bought the car on eBay a couple of years ago with the exact same VIN in the listing.
