European "special Wishes" Program 930s Imported To Us And Carb Qualified For Ca on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a unique factory slope nose 930 made in 1983. The car is a European 930S - this car has never been available for sale new in the US. A US market version of this car first shipped to the U.S. in 1986. This car was legally imported to the U.S. - it is not a grey market car. When I moved the car to California, it was qualified and certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for registration in California where it has been registered since 2000. Those who have dealt with CARB know it is a challenge to get them to certify a not-made-for-California car. The first thing you notice is the car's steel front fenders do not have the US production break vents on the top of the fenders. The car's nose came from the factory smooth like a Ferrari. The car is original and was produced on the Special Wishes production line in Germany and has many factory made custom "add ons" such as burl wood interior door pulls with inlaid Porsche crests, unique center console, etc. The car has 37,266 original miles and runs great. I have owned the car since 2000 and driven it about 4000 miles total. It spends most its time parked in a secured and temp controlled garage. After I purchased the car in 2000 at about 30,000 miles, I had Powerhaus Porsche in Phoenix go through the engine/transaxle and replace anything on the motor that was looking aged or tired. It was kept stock with the exception of factory design updates such as the timing chain tensioner system, etc. I have all receipts from the work totaling over $15,000. Powerhaus also installed a custom build oversized intercooler. The car has been maintained by BlackForest Porsche in San Diego for the last 14 years. They have preemptively replaced various ignition parts, fuel filters, injectors, etc, that were aging out. I have receipts and work orders for all. Mechanically the car is excellent. The interior of the car is beautiful and shows no wear. The exterior is very good but the paint is thin in spots from all the polishing the car has received. You probably cannot see any light spots in the pictures, but you can in bright direct sunlight. The car is sold as is. It is so unique and fun to drive I hesitate to sell it. The turbo makes this car a fun drive and it turns a lot of heads. It was on the cover of the SD Region Porsche Club magazine Windblown Witness in 2006. The correct VIN is WP0ZZZ93ZDS000695. EBay would not accept the VIN because it is a European manufactured car not originally destined for the U.S. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. I will assist in loading the car after payment has cleared. It comes with a few extra Porsche parts (including the original 930S three spoke steering wheel in perfect condition) I have acquired over the years, plus four 17" C-2 chrome rims with tires and spacers to fit the 930. |

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Porsche Cayman gets a new face
Fri, 12 Sep 2014We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.
Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash
Wed, 26 Mar 2014When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
