1982 Porsche 930 (911 Turbo) Vin WP0JA0935CS050089 Mileage is in kilometres In 1982 eighty nine 930s were imported to Canada, so this
particular car was the last one for that year.
They made less than a thousand in 1982 overall, and the Canadian cars
are Euro spec – 300 hp with a nice stance.
Paint to sample, limited slip, sports seats. Car was sold new in Toronto, Ontario. Particulars on the first two owners are in
the original owner’s manual and service booklet, which are in new condition. The third owner purchased the car in April of
1988 at 59.3K kms, and I have the invoice.
The original build sheet and service records from 1982 to 1988 are not
available, but the third owner maintained good records and plenty of regular
maintenance was performed, with most of the maintenance performed by Riegel
Tuning in Calgary, Alberta. In 1996 the
car was inspected by the owner’s insurance company and was showing 129.4k
Kms. There is an invoice on file dated
2000 for a windows out repaint - $6300 at 131K kms. The condition of the paint and panels is excellent,
with the usual stone chips on the hood and mirrors after 35K kms of
travel. I spoke with the owner who paid
for this work, and he has advised that it was done to spruce the car up for
sale, and not to repair damage or rust. There
are absolutely no rust, dents, dings. The
underside is solid with original undercoating and no corrosion. In 2002 the car changed hands at 136.3K kms and in April,
2005 an engine out service and reseal was performed at 141,416 kms – cost was
$6,892.51. Among the most significant
service items were a new clutch, new flywheel, and upgraded chain tensioner
kit. Compression was 130 in all 6
cylinders, and leakdown results were 3% for 1, 2, 3, 2% for 4, 5% for 5,
6. In 2006 the car was sold to the fellow I purchased it
from, and there are spotty records for the occasional service and minor
maintenance. Brake master and alternator
were replaced. When he had it appraised
in 2011 there were 155K Kms on the odometer, which was the mileage when I took
delivery in March, 2012. I interviewed 3 of the previous 5 owners who had owned
the car since 1988. This 930 has been
stored in garages during winters. The
car has an expensive Alpine period correct stereo system that includes a multiple
CD changer, amplifier, digital receiver, and 4 speakers. All
glass is perfect, and the front windshield was recently replaced. I have a detailed summary of the service I’ve performed
since taking possession (receipts are available) and have been fastidious about
the basic maintenance (new rear brake rotors and pads, fuel injectors, plugs
and wires, adjust valves, change all filters, cap, rotor, O rings, wheel
alignment, new tires, adjust clutch, etc….).
I keep the car in a heated garage
and have not driven it in the rain or on the track. All electrical and mechanical items work as
they should except for the power antenna.
The AC hasn’t been charged since before the last owner bought it in
2006, but all parts are intact. This car runs strong and quite remarkably, does not leak
one drop of oil. I may add up to 200 mls
between oil changes (I change the oil every 1500 miles), which for a 166K km
turbo motor (100K miles) is noteworthy – the motor does not smoke, even on
boost. If it sits for a week + there may
be a puff of smoke on start up. The car
pulls well through the entire rev range, the 4 speed shifts as it should with
no binding or grinding. I note in the
service history that the syncros have received work in the past. No mods – this car is bone stock except for
the stereo. The interior is in excellent condition for the age and
miles, although the bolster in the driver seat is getting tired. It is not torn, but the piping is frayed and
faded. Carpets are excellent. Two of the wheels have a smearing of minor
curb rash, and the tires are almost new.
Interior has a rich leather smell. The car includes the original tool kit and air pump, and
the spare. Includes Porsche 930 service manual on CD, as
well as all records, owners, and warranty manuals. I would not hesitate to drive this across
the Continent, it has been that reliable.
Don’t let the mileage dissuade you – this car has been driven an average
of 5K Kms per year over it’s life, and has been well maintained. I reserve the right to end the auction early. For the successful bidder a $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction closing. Payment is full is due within 5 days of closing. Local pickup preferred, and I will work with the buyer to arrange for transportation or shipping at the buyer's expense. |

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
Seinfeld takes Seth Meyers out in the perfect Porsche
Sat, 13 Jul 2013The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame riding shotgun in what is a very special Porsche from host Jerry Seinfeld's collection: a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Seinfeld chose the "no-nonsense" sports car because he thought it fit his guest's personality (Meyers thinks motorcycles "are like the cigarette of transportation"), but we enjoy the chance to see one of these rare, über-valuable Porsches being driven on city streets - and in the rain, no less! What we don't like seeing is the Carrera RS being parallel parked behind a pick-up truck, though, fortunately, it seems that Seinfeld was able to avoid any front-end damage to the comparatively fragile Porsche.
Once at the coffee shop, the two comedians have a candid conversation about Meyers' time with SNL, from his early days on the show when he didn't think he was good enough to be a cast member to some of the high points in his career, such as SNL's "Really!?" segment that he performed in and how he became a writer for the show.
After coffee, when they're back in the car and Seinfeld opens up the throttle of the lightweight RS 2.7, he manages to eke out a big grin from Meyers - or maybe it was a grimace at the thought of driving in the rain on old tires. Whatever the case, be sure to watch the video below (and stay tuned until the end for a surprise).
