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.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.

Porsche reveals new LMP1 racecar testing ahead of 2014 Le Mans debut

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

Getting ready for its triumphant return to the premier racing class of Le Mans, Porsche has released a handful of images showing its new LMP1 racecar testing. Porsche hasn't run a car in the Prototype class at 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2009, but this racecar - still veiled in secrecy - will be expected to battle against the Audi and Toyota LMP1 Prototypes to help bring Porsche its 17th Le Mans victory.
Aside from knowing that it will use a hybrid powertrain to meet LMP1 rules, there are no other details about the car... including its name or potential sponsors. In the meantime, Porsche has set up a microsite, called Mission 2014, to share its extensive history racing at Le Mans. Also, be sure to check out some of the past videos Porsche has released as it gears up for its reborn LMP1 program.
