European "special Wishes" Program 930s Imported To Us And Carb Qualified For Ca on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a unique factory slope nose 930 made in 1983. The car is a European 930S - this car has never been available for sale new in the US. A US market version of this car first shipped to the U.S. in 1986. This car was legally imported to the U.S. - it is not a grey market car. When I moved the car to California, it was qualified and certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for registration in California where it has been registered since 2000. Those who have dealt with CARB know it is a challenge to get them to certify a not-made-for-California car. The first thing you notice is the car's steel front fenders do not have the US production break vents on the top of the fenders. The car's nose came from the factory smooth like a Ferrari. The car is original and was produced on the Special Wishes production line in Germany and has many factory made custom "add ons" such as burl wood interior door pulls with inlaid Porsche crests, unique center console, etc. The car has 37,266 original miles and runs great. I have owned the car since 2000 and driven it about 4000 miles total. It spends most its time parked in a secured and temp controlled garage. After I purchased the car in 2000 at about 30,000 miles, I had Powerhaus Porsche in Phoenix go through the engine/transaxle and replace anything on the motor that was looking aged or tired. It was kept stock with the exception of factory design updates such as the timing chain tensioner system, etc. I have all receipts from the work totaling over $15,000. Powerhaus also installed a custom build oversized intercooler. The car has been maintained by BlackForest Porsche in San Diego for the last 14 years. They have preemptively replaced various ignition parts, fuel filters, injectors, etc, that were aging out. I have receipts and work orders for all. Mechanically the car is excellent. The interior of the car is beautiful and shows no wear. The exterior is very good but the paint is thin in spots from all the polishing the car has received. You probably cannot see any light spots in the pictures, but you can in bright direct sunlight. The car is sold as is. It is so unique and fun to drive I hesitate to sell it. The turbo makes this car a fun drive and it turns a lot of heads. It was on the cover of the SD Region Porsche Club magazine Windblown Witness in 2006. The correct VIN is WP0ZZZ93ZDS000695. EBay would not accept the VIN because it is a European manufactured car not originally destined for the U.S. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. I will assist in loading the car after payment has cleared. It comes with a few extra Porsche parts (including the original 930S three spoke steering wheel in perfect condition) I have acquired over the years, plus four 17" C-2 chrome rims with tires and spacers to fit the 930. |

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22
Sat, 12 Apr 2014While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Porsche has purchased longtime motorsports and tuning house ANDIAL.
The Fountain Valley, California-based tuning house ANDIAL has been around since 1975, when it was formed by the Arnold Wagner, Dieter Inzenhofer and Alwin Springer (the company got its name by combining two letters from each of their names). The three men met while working in a Porsche dealership in Southern California and then left to start a business that would put Porsches in victory lane all over the country.
Porsches prepared by ANDIAL won IMSA GT and Supercar Series championships, the SCCA World Challenge, four Pikes Peak class titles and the 24 Hours of Daytona six times. Alwin Springer left the company in 1997 to run Porsche Motorsport North America until 2004 and remains a consultant with PMNA, Wagner passed away in 2011 and Inzenhofer plans to retire this year. ANDIAL is still a going concern, Inzenhofer presiding over a scaled-down engine parts and restoration business. But Inzenhofer is retiring at month's end, making it a good time for Porsche to step in and take over the company's operations.
