Vehicle Description
1979 Porsche 930 Turbo presented in correct Black (Code A1) over
Black Leather (Code 68) Interior. Only 70,926 original miles since
new. Factory optioned with Limited Slip Differential, Electric
Exterior Mirror, Sport Seats, Black Roofliner and Electric Sunroof.
Certificate of Authenticity, Numbers matching engine and
transmission. All original, unmolested, and non-restored condition,
absolutely rust free example.The 930 was unveiled at the Frankfurt
Auto Show in 1973 as the Carrera Turbo. Employing the now iconic
wide body and curvaceous body lines of the Carrera RS 3.0 but with
distinctive new front and rear spoiler design. The Carerra Turbo
became an instant sensation. The car was released in the North
American Market in 1976 as the 911 Turbo and featured a 3.0L
Turbocharged engine. In 1978 Porsche upgraded the engine to a 3.3L
Intercooled version producing 300HP and 304 lb-ft, endowing the
Turbo to reach a top speed of 165mph. The fastest US car at the
time. Also introduced on the 3.3L Turbos was a new rear wing to
clear the intercooler and a 4-piston braking system from the 917
racecar. The 3.3L Turbo was built for the US market for only the
1978 and 1979 model year before US emissions standards forced it
from the market until its reintroduction in 1986. Significant air
cooled Porsche's have seen a tremendous appreciation in value in
recent years, due in part to their analog driving experience and
genuine blue chip collectability. Early Turbo models in original
condition are virtually non-existent, and will continue to lead the
marque in value into the next decade.This particular example,
#729/1,200 built, had the same owner for 15 years. It was sold by
us in 2001, after we took it on trade from a gentleman in Oregon.
The car was sold new in Texas. A previous owner had the DP style
front bumper and 17" Porsche Cup Wheels installed. The car has had
a fastidious ownership, always serviced at Porsche dealerships (If
they had a technician familiar enough and skilled enough to
understand the car) or independent specialty Porsche shops. It has
always been garage kept, and never driven in poor weather
conditions. The vehicle is presented in its original Black (A1)
paint, which shows exceptionally well. Other than some slight rock
chipping as one would expect from the miles, the exterior is
virtually blemish free. The Black leather interior presents in
great shape with no rips, tears, or bolster wear. Headliner is in
fantastic shape, as are the carpets. This vehicle was also ordered
with the rare limited slip differential and factory sport seats.
Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is available. The vehicle
recently completed a rigorous pre-sale inspection with compression
check at Hennessey Porsche. The compression is as follows:
cylinder: 1=110, 1=110, 3=115, 4=110, 5=115, 6=110. They noted that
the vehicle checked out remarkably well and showed no signs of
rust. They were able to also verify that the engine and
transmission numbers match the COA.For more information on this
