This is a numbers matching, investment grade vehicle that you can still really enjoy driving. 

History

This is originally a German market car delivered to Frankfurt, Germany according to the Kardex. There are no records from this time.

The 930 was imported in the early 1980s by Eibell Performance and sold to a Tampa, FL doctor who owned it until 2000. It was then purchased by the previous owner and kept in Tampa until I bought it two years ago. The car now has 62,000 kilometers on it.

I've always been obsessed with the rare and interesting color schemes on 911s, such as the 1966 911 in Slate Gray with red interior I sold earlier this year. The color scheme is the best one for an early 930 in my opinion, I have enjoyed driving this car the past two years. However, a 1976 930 is next to impossible to smog in California, and I got a ticket recently for my out-of-state Florida tags. I have decided to try a Ferrari for a change and purchased one recently. It now has a California title and is on a “non-op” registration. Because the seller is held responsible for passing smog, the car will not be sold to anyone planning to register the car in California.

Interior
  • Original full leather interior with Tartan Dress plaid cloth inserts as noted on the Kardex.
  • It is in great shape for it's age, and the only wear areas are a small area on the driver’s seat cloth and a crack in the rear parcel shelf speaker hole area (see pics).
  • The interior condition confirms the low mileage of the car.
  • Original extra-thick pile carpet with "Turbo" script on the drivers side rear seat back. In good condition for its age, but faded some from its original color.
  • The 930 had floor mats when I purchased it, and you can see the original color better in the areas the mats covered.
  • Original Blaupunkt Bamberg cassette deck with all accessories
  • Recording microphone
  • Amplifier and four original speakers
  • Additional control module mounted under ashtray
  • Owners manual in German
  • Power windows work great
  • Blower fan and heat controls function as they should.
  • All gauges are functional and have correct date stamps except the tachometer, which has a 1.5 bar boost gauge and is stamped 10/76.
  • This was a typical upgrade for '76 930 owners who wanted the boost gauge introduced on the '77 models.
  • Headliner is in excellent condition
  • The previous owner had the dash and steering wheel recovered in genuine leather due to typical sun damage. While they did a nice job appropriate to a driver-level car, the recovering was not done to factory standards of leather and stitching.

Body

This is why I purchased this particular 930: Zero rust and zero accident damage. So many of these early turbo "Widowmakers" were damaged severely and endured a rough life. The underbody, rocker panels, and fender wells still have all of the original undercoating, and the virgin condition confirms the low mileage of the car.

Ten years ago the previous owner had it completely repainted due to the original metallic paint failng, which is typical for these 1970s metallic cars.
  • Repainted in the original Copper Brown Metallic.
  • Paint gauge shows two layers of paint (original plus respray), no filler on any part of the body.
  • There is some orange peel in a few spots if you look closely, but overall the paint is in excellent condition and shines beautifully. There are no rock chips due to the car not being driven much after the repaint.
  • Every window and body seal and rubber part was replaced with new, including all bumper pads, bellows, seals, and front spoiler. Rear spoiler rubber is the only one not replaced because it is NLA.
Documentation
  • The original German owners manual and an English version are included.
  • Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
  • Kardex report from Porsche Classic confirming tartan dress inserts.
  • Two 1976 color full line brochures in English featuring a non-sunroof copper brown 911 with tartan interior like this one!
  • One rare 1975 brochure from the introduction of the upcoming 930 to the US market.
  • I have a folder full of service and repair records from the doctor who owned the car from the early 80s until 2000.
  • Photo of the car from the 1990s when the doctor owned it. You can see its completely stock appearance. The previous owner took the photo of it around Tampa because he admired the car, and a few years later saw it for sale and bought it!
  • The previous owner unfortunately lost most of his receipts during his ownership from 2000 due to a divorce. However, he and the mechanic who serviced the car and built the engine are available by phone and can verify what is listed below.
  • All records of parts and labor done during my ownership.

Mechanical

The car starts, runs, and drives like a proper 3.0 930 should. Clutch takeup is excellent, shifting is smooth and crisp with no hesitation or grinding in any gear.

Car was completely stock when the previous owner bought it in 2000. He had the following work done to the car in the past 10 years:
  • Numbers matching engine was rebuilt by Porsche Master Technician Carl Register (formerly of All Pro Porsche, now Porsche of Ocala).
  • Rebuilt to completely original 3.0 stock specification.
  • Original pistons and cylinders were in excellent condition, so they were re-used with new rings.
  • All new engine hardware, clamps and brackets. Engine looks brand new!
  • Upgraded to Carrera oil-fed tensioners
  • New stock oil cooler mounted in front fender
  • The original 4 speed transmission was in excellent condition, so Carl just resealed it. It shifts like new with no grinding.
  • The troublesome original turbo and restrictive exhaust system was replaced with:
  • New K27 turbo
  • New GHL stainless exhaust system including heat exchangers for cabin heat.
  • New GHL muffler. It has two exhausts, but I am told the right side can be removed and capped to get the original single exhaust look without much impact on performance. I have the original single-exhaust under-bumper valance.
  • New Tial wastegate
  • New Bilstein B6 Sports shock absorbers (green) all around
  • The original date-correct 15x7 and 15x8 Fuchs are in good condition with brand new Pirelli tires

I had the following work performed since I purchased the car, and I kept receipts for the parts and service:
  • Completely renewed front and rear suspension
  • New original ball joints, tie rods, and all suspension bushings
  • New original sway bar links and bushings
  • Drivers side window regulator rebuilt
  • Completely renewed brake system
  • All 4 calipers rebuilt
  • New brake rotors and pads
  • New flexible brake lines
  • New master cylinder
  • Ride height set to Euro specification, then four wheels aligned and corner balanced.

Extra Parts Included (not installed on vehicle)

The previous owner was planning to upgrade to a rotary compressor and bigger condensers, which he never got around to doing. He also didn’t like the looks of the rear window wiper, so he removed the mechanism and filled the holes when the car was repainted.
  • Complete original A/C ducts, under-dash vents, and components except lines, compressor and condensers.
  • Compressor mouting brackets are all included and appear new.
  • Front condenser guard and grid cover is included but they need straightening and painting.
  • Metal brackets for mounting the rear condender in the tail is included.
  • Original rear window wiper motor, mount, mechanism, and arm are included.
  • Original German market under-bumper fog lamp with mounting bracket.
  • Original single exhaust outlet under-bumper valence.
  • Rare AutoArt 1:18 model of a 1976 930 Copper Brown Metallic, new in box similar to this one: http://hobbyfm.com.ua/ìàãàçèí/ìàñøòàáíûå/autoart_77973.html

Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
