Genuine 930 turbo widebody. Mileage is actual. One of approximately 450 or so 911 turbos produced for the USA in 1978 (not grey market).

Great model year and one of the few 70’s lightweight 930s built. Car is superb top to bottom with top line upgrades and proper maintenance over the years (previous was one owner for 33 years from new).

Complete history and full maintenance/parts/upgrades portfolio binder with original dealer sales receipt (Niello Porsche-still in business today) from the day of delivery up to to the present. This 930 is serviced and ready to go.

Car is stunning cosmetically at and is one of the most solid and finest driving and sounding 930s on the market.  It will of course pin you to your seat, and it is easy to drive for being a 930. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it cross country.

Engine fortified to 3.5 ruf specs, andial fuel and intercooler, k27, ruf rsr 5sp, updated clutch (smooth as butter), bilstein upgrade, hydraulic chain tensioners, polished 17 ruf wheels, headers, borla dual exhaust  and more.  COA/engine matching numbers.

The interior is rich and exotic in cashmere and is the nicest one will find. Like the rest of the car, the original interior shows very little ‘patina’ that one usually finds in these classic 930s.  It is like new(still smells new!) and all original except for the center console which was added but also trimmed in the same tan leather so it looks stock (935 turbo gauge installed and vdo clocked moved to console), ruf Momo 935 steering wheel, short shifter, upgraded rotary AC (blows cold) and more.… 

Stereo and components upgraded 2013 high end spec(ipod, sat radio,amps etc).

All steel slant nose. Exterior paint updated to one year avail only Porsche maraschino red metallic (original color is bitter chocolate – odd 70’s Porsche colors are en vogue (premium)  and one could convert this car back to the original mocha brown and have a $100k+ car or enjoy it as it is – a beautiful looking and running 930 for $67k).

All the original tools (never used), books present. Everything is up to date/serviced/sorted and it is turnkey.

Recent PPI by a 30yr expert in these turbos states that it is one of the finest examples of the 930 that he has ever inspected.  An accident/rust free/very clean example.  I cannot emphasize enough the high quality of this 930. It is a great value and investment at what I have it priced at.

Dash has some slight warping around the windshield vents and there is a small dime size paint spider noticeable up close on the rear decklid.

Private sale. I am selling because I have other cars that need my attention so no trades unless it is something that's worth more and also grabs at me. Payment must clear before the pickup of the car and title. I have listed many high end cars on ebay over the years and most got sold before the end of listing... BIN is $67k. I can assist with setting up shipping to anywhere including worldwide if needed. I am knowledgeable in these turbos and am easy to work with and will work with the buyer to make the transaction and delivery as pleasant as possible.  Serious buyers, please contact me via eBay messaging and include your voice/text phone number.

Are you the 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Targa?

Sun, Nov 30 2014

Our spy shooters have caught a strange, mash-up beast wearing a Porsche badge. Superficially, this is a facelift for the 911 Targa that features new bumpers, door handles and a redesigned engine cover, along with new light graphics for the front and rear lights. But have a look around back, and you'll find two inboard exhaust pipes; they aren't right up against each other as on the 911 GT3, but are spaced about five inches apart. The shooters said the first time they saw that arrangement was last winter, on a convertible during testing. We saw it again more recently in spy shots of what was thought to be the 911 GTS coupe prototype at the track. But when the production GTS arrived, it wore the traditional quad-pipe at the corners. The theory put forward by the spy photog: the current GTS has a naturally aspirated engine, but facelifted prototypes they've been seeing all have turbo engines, so this could be the facelifted Targa coming in 2017, after the 991-model 911 gets a refresh. In that case, the GTS coupe prototype at the track would have also been a post-refresh, turbo-engined GTS. It's only a hypothesis, but more than one outlet has reported that Porsche is going all-turbo for the updated 2015 models – the new exhaust position and those 911-Turbo-like vents could be their identifiers. We expect to find out when the lineup is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, possibly codenamed 992 instead of 991.2.

Best Convertibles for 2022

Thu, Jun 30 2022

The past decade has not been kind to the drop-top enthusiast. No matter which dealer you walk into, convertible models have been biting the dust left and right. Nissan Z? Audi TT? Buick Cascada? Volkswagen Eos? All gone. Remember the humble Chrysler Sebring/200? Well, you do now. Fortunately, though, the news isn't all bad. There are still plenty of options out there for those who absolutely must have a convertible. Whether you need something to haul behind your retirement cruiser, a performance car that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world or just something that allows you to sling the roof back after a long day of on-location business meetings before catching the flight back to your everyday hustle and bustle, there's at least one cabriolet out there to suit your needs. Here are our picks and starting prices for the top convertibles in several categories for 2022.  For the frugal open-top lover: 2022 Mini Convertible ($34,650) Let's face it; gas ain't cheap. But open-top motoring doesn't need to be a wallet killer. The Mini is cheap (at least by 2022 standards) and an absolute joy to drive, so there's really no downside here ... except for the roof. Get it?    For the hardtop lover: 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF ($37,260) / 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ($69,695) The number of hardtop convertibles has seriously dwindled due to weight concerns and the fact that fabric roofs have gotten so quiet, but there are still some options for those who prefer a more coupe-like look with the roof up. Our picks here are the delightfully Targa-like MX-5 Miata RF and literally any Corvette Stingray — even the hardtop has a removable roof!    For long road trips: 2022 Ford Mustang Convertible ($34,100) The first image that comes to mind for many who are told to visualize an American convertible is the classic Ford Mustang. It's not the only drop-top pony car out there, but thanks to the Camaro's tiny trunk, it's much harder to see the USA in a Chevrolet when a drop-top enters the equation. The Mustang has much more cargo space and a much larger opening, which is likely the difference between keeping your bags under lock and key or leaving them exposed in the back seat.    For towing behind an RV: 2022 Jeep Wrangler ($31,590) While many small runabouts make sense for towing behind a motor home (or nestled up inside a fancier one), the Wrangler has a serious advantage when it comes to RVing: it can easily be flat-towed.
