The Original Supercar! Low Miles!!! Gold Exterior / Burgundy Interior VIN: WP0JB093XGS050835 2 Doors, , Coupe, 6 Cylinders, Automatic Inventory ID: 050835 Vehicle Description The first Porsche 930 was specifically built for Louise Piech, the daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and the mother of current Volkwagon Audi Group ("VAG") Chairman, Ferdinand Piech. This car was built in 1973, a full year prior to the 930s official release. Mass production of the car began in 1974 with the car being marketed as a 1975. The car was designed under the direction of Ernst Fuhrmann who took the turbocharging technology used on the 917/30 CAN-AM and adapted it to the 3.0 litre flat-six used on the Carerra RS 3.0. Hence the car was named the 930 Turbo - meaning (essentially) a 911 with a turbocharged 3.0 engine. In order to manage the increased horsepower from this engine (about 256 hp in 1975), Fuhrmann incorporated larger brakes, a much stronger 4 speed gear box and a revised suspension. Many Porsche enthusiasts complained (and still complain today) about Fuhrmanns decision to use a 4 speed when a 5 speed was readily available. However, to Fuhrmanns credit, he did not believe that the 5 speed gearbox then employed could reliably manage the increased output of the turbocharged 3.0. Therefore, Fuhrmann directed that the "stronger" 4 speed gearbox be used. It remained in use until 1989 when the 930 became equipped with a G50 transmission. In further recognition of the 930s increased power, Porsche developed and installed the infamous "tea tray" rear spoiler which was designed to both increase downforce to the rear wheels and to vent more air out of the engine compartment. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the car was its exaggerated front and rear fenders. These fenders, coupled with the tea tray spoiler, made the 930 an instant icon in the automotive world. Porsche debuted the car at the Paris Auto Show in October 1974 and badged it with the simple word "Turbo." In the United States, a very, very few cars were badged with the words "Turbo Carerra." In 1980, emissions regulations forced Porsche to withdraw the car from the U.S. market. However, owing to the great demand for the car and its ready availability in Canada, a huge number of "grey market" cars were imported to the U.S. In 1986, Porsche again offered the car for sale in the U.S. and continued to sell them until 1989, at which time the car was retired. Two years later, in 1991, Porsche replaced the 930 with the 964 Turbo. The cars sold in the United States in 1986 had the following performance characteristics: 0-60: 4.6 seconds 0-100: 11.6 seconds 1/4 Mile: 17.7 seconds Top speed: 173 mph Horsepower: 330 hp Over time the 930 has come to be seen as a very reliable supercar with few, if any, inherent defects. In fact, the majority of the 930s built remain in service today. The cars low weight, rear engine layout, high horsepower and short wheelbase make it a potent street racer. However, if the engines power is generously applied at the wrong time - say mid-turn - then the cars hindquarters tend to out pace its front wheels. This "spin out" effect is not due to a flaw in the car but, rather, a flaw in the driver. Once this flaw is overcome - through proper training at a DE event - then the 930 is really quite easy to handle. The car presented here is a 1986 Porsche 930 which was made for the U.S. market. It is NOT a grey market car and its gauges read in standard U.S. measurements. According to the maintenance records in my possession, this car was originally manufactured by Porsche in February 1986 and was subsequently sold on April 25, 1986, to T&CS of Ponca City, Oklahoma. The car was originally sold with the following option codes: C02 139 158 220 340 533 650 These codes are recorded in both the maintenance log book and on the white sticker on the bottom of the boot lid. Please note, the unmolested presence of the white sticker on the boot lid strongly indicates that this car has not been in a front end collision. According to the maintenance log book, the car has been regulalry serviced throughout its life at either an authorized Porsche dealer or an independent Porsche shop. As reflected by the maintenance log book, the following services were performed at the following intervals: DATE / SERVICE / MILES / SERVICE PROVIDED BY: 4/24/86 / Delivery Inspection / 37 / Porsche Dealer #0637, Wichita, KS 5/22/86 / Oil Change / 1,030 / Porsche Dealer #0637, Wichita, KS 4/18/87 / Oil Change / 5,362 / Porsche Dealer # 0643, Wichita, KS 11/30/88 / Oil Change, Maint. / 6,437 / Import Auto Center, Wichita, KS 11/30/88 / Oil Change / 9,404 / Foreign Affairs, Location Unknown 10/29/90 / Oil Change, Emission / 14,609 / Porsche Dealer #1120, Dublin, OH 10/24/91 / Oil Change / 16,623 / Classic Ferrari, Richardson, TX 9/11/92 / Oil change / 19,110 / Porsche Dealer #0626, Richardson, TX 11/9/92 / Oil change / 19,580 / Porsche Dealer #0626, Richardson, TX 2/5/93 / Oil change / 19,811 / Unknown 8/20/93 / Oil change / 20,104 / Unknown 2/24/95 / Oil change / 21,431 / Unknown The entries in the maintenance log book stop on December 24, 1995. According to the Carfax I was given for this car, the car continued to be driven on Texas roads until 2003 when it was reported as being serviced at a facility in Oregon (mileage 32,353). The Carfax shows no history of accident or damage and suggests that this car is worth $220 more than its counterparts. I have no idea how was this magical number was arrived at and please, please, please do not rely on any representations made by Carfax in connection with this car (I certainly do not). Rather, if you are interested in purchasing the car, please arrange for an independent mechanical inspection from a qualified Porsche mechanic. If you would like me to assist you in arranging an inspection then please simply ask. Returning to the cars maintenance history, the car was seemingly placed in storage from 2003 until 2012, at which time it was again registered in Texas. I obtained this information through a local mechanic who told me that the car had been warehoused roughly a decade ago. Based on the foregoing, it appears to me that the odometer reading is accurate and the current mileage - roughly 33,000 - shows that this car is a true, low mileage survivor from the 1980s. After I obtained the car, I performed an initial inspection which showed a few paint blemishes, some sun fading on the seats and very badly worn worn tires. However, for a 28 year old car that has been sitting idle for roughly 10 years, it was in very good shape, e.g., no rust bubbles, no dry rot, no sunroof leaks, etc, etc. After inspecting the car, I immediately replaced all tires 4 with new Bridgestone Potenzas (205/55R16s in the front and 255/50R16s in the rear) and installed a new Bosche battery. I then inspected the brake system which was in very good shape, i.e., no master cylinder leaks, good pads, good rotors. After driving the car, I heard a faint click from the front wheels and decided to replace the front wheel bearings as a precaution. This was not absolutely necessary but, as I planed on driving the car at faster than normal speeds, I felt it was worth the investment. I then changed the oil and air filter, recharged the A/C system (with R12) and fixed some minor cosmetic issues. In example, as a purely cosmetic improvement, I had the alternator fan removed and thoroughly cleaned. As shown by the pictures below, this greatly improved the engines appearance. As I was inspecting the car, I did notice a few minor rock chips on the front bumper, two minor chips on the hood and some small defects on the passenger side rear fender. These defects are not immediately noticable and, in my opinion, do not negatively effect the aesthetics of the car. Further, these defects do not detract from the overall beauty of the car and, in my opinion, the car does not need any form of paint work. After sorting through the mechanics and cosmetics, I replaced the stereo with a new AM/FM/CD/MP3/iPad compatible Kenwood head unit and installed a new set of Infinity door speakers. I do not have the original Reno radio but, if necessary, I can assist in sourcing one. As the car currently sits, it does not have any known mechanical defects and is a "buy it, drive it and enjoy it car." Please note, I do NOT sell concours level cars and I do not represent this car to be a concours level car. However, I do believe this to be an above average drivers car that can be used for show purposes.
