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 911 driven by McQueen on Le Mans set for auction

Mon, Oct 19 2015

Another piece of Porsche memorabilia from the movie Le Mans is going up for auction with Christie's at The Exceptional Sale on Nov. 4 in Paris. This is a 1971 911 T that Steve McQueen used as his personal car during filming - it is not the 1970 911 S seen in the movie's opening sequence. It is one of the Porsches provided by two-time Le Mans winner and stunt driving double Jo Siffert. McQueen's production company CBS Solar Films bought the 911 T from Siffert, one of four 911s CBS Solar bought from the Swiss driver for use in and during filming. McQueen gifted the car to co-star and leading lady Elga Andersen. When she died in 1994 she willed it to her best friend, and the friend sold it to the current owner, who put it up for sale. None of them put the car to much use, as it has only 28,637 miles on the odometer, which is fewer than 55 miles per month for the last 44 years. The pre-sale estimate for this car is $284,000 to $397,000. By comparison, the 911 S used in the movie's opening sequence sold at auction in 2011 at Monterey for $1,375,000. In addition to being a relative bargain in that case, it comes with a scan of the original contract from Siffert to Anderson giving her the car, and a picture of McQueen and his son Chad with the coupe.

Mercedes-AMG GT vs. Porsche 911 [w/poll]

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz designed the AMG GT to compete head-on with the Porsche 911. It's a clear, singular purpose, and Benz brings a lot of money, technology and race-bred expertise to the fight.
The AMG GT is Merc's followup to the awesome SLS AMG, the retro-modern, gullwing-doored coupe that took us by storm half a decade ago. But this new GT coupe is a more focused sports car than the SLS, rather than an all out supercar capable of extreme performance. It's got a brand-new V8 engine, and state-of-the-art technology that help it to not only be a proper Mercedes, but to be a serious performer.
Mercedes will sell its new baby in two models. The GT S arrives first, in spring 2015, followed by the standard GT in mid-2016. Of course, there's room to grow from there. And while Porsche may have already expanded its 911 range to include a vast variety of models, here's how Stuttgart's icon stacks up against Affalterbach's bad boy.

Porsche offers design walkthrough of Panamera Sport Turismo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting brake from a full-scale clay model to the final product we saw on stage at the Paris Motor Show. In the video, Michael Mauer, Porsche style director, and Mitja Borkert, general manager advanced design style, both give a little insight about what went into creating the Sport Turismo Concept.
More than just a station wagon version of the Panamera, the Sport Turismo has a totally distinctive look nose to tail. Some of the key elements the designers touch on in the video include the Porsche-signature raised front fenders, the wide rear shoulders, the front wing inspired by the 918 Spyder, and even some of the car's unique touches, including the headlights and the three-dimensional "Porsche" lettering across the liftgate made from glass. One of the more exciting aspects of the concept - which is sadly just glossed over in the video - is the rear liftgate spoiler that features "variable aerodynamics" that sounds like it acts similar to the retractable spoiler on the current Panamera.
We still don't know if the Panamera Sport Turismo will make it into production, but if you want to see what went into creating this exciting concept car and see the different build phases designers went through to create the Paris show car, check out the video by scrolling below.
