1976 Porsche 930 non-sunroof coupe
VIN: 930 670 0418 Engine: 6760557 Asking $139,000 or best offer. Located in Loma Linda, CA (about 1 hour from LAX) Pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/107462596126098920364/1976930GermanMarket# 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
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.
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:
I had the following work performed since I purchased the car, and I kept receipts for the parts and service:
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.

Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Porsche 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 2013With 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 2013The 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.
