In 1975, Porsche introduced the 930 model: a turbocharged upgrade
of the 911. It was ranked first as the quickest car of the 1970s
with a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds, which was almost a half a
second faster than second place. The speed the 930 could achieve
helped it earn the nickname the Widowmaker. Black Horse Garage is
proud to represent this 1978 Porsche 930 in beautiful Sienna Brown
Metallic paint and cork leather interior. It is not only attractive
color combination, but very fitting for the time period. This 930
is an original numbers matching car with under 14,000 original
miles on it. It is only one of 461 that were built for the United
States. It comes with the desirable options of factory A/C and a
sunroof. It also has a Blaupunkt cassette stereo and Fuchs wheels.
This is more than just an exhilarating driving vehicle; it is of
investment-grade quality. This 930 is sure to continue to grow in
value and worthy of the growing interest in the vehicle for years
to come. This 1978 model was the first of the 930s to have an
air-to-air intercooler. The engine bore was also enlarged by 2mm
for a total displacement of 3.3 liters for the turbocharged flat-6
engine. All of this increased the power output to 296 horsepower at
5,500 rpms. The famous whale tail was raised slightly to make room
for the intercooler and Porsche enthusiasts gave the spoiler a new
nickname, the tea tray. If you would like to make an appointment to
