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.

Video avail by request.  150 more pics here:

Porsche gives Nick Murray exactly what he deserved [w/video]

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

The tale of Nick Murray and his lemon Porsche 911 appears to have come to a satisfactory end. As noted in the original story about Murray, he and Porsche Cars North America met and came to a resolution. However, we didn't know exactly what that meant, until now.
Murray has created a new video explaining that PCNA offered to buy back the car at full price or give him an exact replacement for it. This was exactly what he was asking for. Murray remains pro-Porsche in the new video. "I am definitely considering reordering a Porsche 911," he says.
Porsche also posted a message on its Facebook page that clarified the situation. "We at Porsche have always sought excellence in all that we do. We know you expect it of us. And when we don't meet that standard, we make every effort to improve," said a portion of the note.

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
