This 1980 Porsche 933 is one of sixteen 924 chassis cars factory developed in Weissach and delivered to Holbert Racing in Pennsylvania in preparation for SCCA D-Production competition. This was Holbert chassis #2, serial number 92A0490002, which at the hands of its first owner competed in D-Production and when that class was eliminated it was upgraded to GT-3 specs. With its second owner at the wheel, the car became arguably the most successful GT-3 924 in history, with six track records, an overall NASPORT championship and 4th at the runoffs in 1991. A number of period pictures, articles, factory letters and race results are included. Although the car has only one test day on it since a complete engine, trans, and shock rebuild, it has been in storage since 2006 and needs freshening

These cars were designed by the factory to race in SCCA D Production Championship. The Porsche project number of these race cars was 933. Only 16 were built by the factory. If you had the right connections, you could buy the parts as a kit from Porsche to convert your street car into a fully race-ready 924.

Internal factory number: 933
- Launched on April 26, 1979, as Project 924/80.
- US SCCA Racers – 16 total (1980, 92A0490001-92A0490016)
- Designed and assembled at Weissach.
- Assembly and tuning finished at Warrington, Pennsylvania by Al Holbert.
Ownership history of 1980 Porsche 924 DP – #92A0490002 – “Holbert car # 2”
Stefan Edlis:
Originally purchased through, and built by, Holbert Racing in Warrington, PA and raced under Apollo Plastics livery (car #10 and #15) in SCCA D-Production and GT-3 classes. The car was heavily modified to compete in GT-3 by David Finch, owner of Raetech Motorsports Engineering of Ann Arbor, MI. The suspension and chassis were completely redesigned. Extensive lightening, gusseting and other custom fabrication is visible everywhere. (Finch is a 6-time SCCA GT-2 National Champion driving in a Porsche 944. Finch used the knowledge gained from the Edlis conversion for his own 944 GT-2 build.) Finch believes that Holbert only built 3 complete factory cars: One that Doc Bundy drove to the 1980 DP championship, Edlis’s car and a show car now owned by Tom Brennan.). Edlis raced against and ultimately with Tom Brennan (1981 SCCA DP National Champion in Holbert 924 DP # 1).

Don Meluzio:
Purchased car from Edlis in 1988. Meluzio ran the car under Porsche Model Club livery (car #53). Meluzio won NASPORT championship in 1991 (12 wins, 9 poles, 6 track records) and again 1994. Third in Runoffs in 1989, fourth in 1991 (continuous Runoffs in the 924 from 88-92). Meluzio finished 9th in 1991 Porsche Cup, 15th in 1989 Porsche Cup and traveled to Germany for the ceremonies. Letters from J"urgen Barth (Porsche Head of Customer Racing) and Bob Carlson (Porsche Manager of Racing) congratulating him on his success. The car held the GT-3 track record at 6 tracks, including Lime Rock Park for many years with a 0:58 second lap. It has dozens of SCCA National Event wins to its credit. Meluzio’ s crew chief was Vic Biser. Michael Stimpson did the head and cam work.

Tom Scheuren:
Scheuren ran the car under the Diablo Racing banner (car #53) in SCCA regional and national events from 1993 – 1998. The car was parked in favor of a GT-1 effort in the Rolex Endurance Series. In 2005, Scheuren had the engine, trans and shocks rebuilt and it only one test day at Watkins Glen. It has been in storage since 2006.

This 924 would be competitive in SCCA GT-3 today and would likely dominate the small bore classes of SVRA and PCA. Due to the extended storage, the seller suggests that the head will need to be pulled to replace valve springs, fluids changed, seat belts updated ect before taking it to the track. 

This car has been extensively modified, it doesnt have a vin number but the parts alone are worth more then the asking price and the history on the car is solid. It will be sold with a bill of sale.

The Engine is currently disassembled to a short block. The seller is willing to reassemble the body and or pack parts inside the car for shipping. 

I’m listing this car for a friend of mine, I’m not the owner. Please get in touch through Ebay messaging let’s have a brief conversation and then I’ll put you in touch with the seller. Buyer to pay me (Uplife) a non-refundable deposit within 24 hours then arrange final payment and shipping with the seller. 

This car is located in New Port Richey, Florida (West coast, North of Tampa).

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

Is Porsche planning a GT5?

Tue, May 19 2015

A trademark application filed in Europe suggests Porsche could be planning a GT5 model to slot at the bottom of its track-focused sports car lineup. The German automaker's GT skunkworks division in Weissach earned its reputation with enthusiasts producing the GT3 and GT3 RS versions of the 911, and previously offered GT2 and even GT1 models as well (although the latter was a limited homologation special). It recently extended itself slightly downmarket with the launch of the Cayman GT4, but this trademark application – already reportedly accepted in Germany and currently being reviewed by the European office – suggests an even more accessible model could be on its way, Autocar reports. Just what form a GT5 would take, however, remains a mystery. The numerical progression would suggest that Porsche is planning a hardcore version of an even smaller sports car, if such a project ever got off the ground to slot in below the Boxster and Cayman. Given that the 911 has bred both GT2 and GT3 versions, Weissach could alternatively be planning an additional GT version of the Cayman, or planning a hardcore version of the Boxster. The prospect of a GT5 version of the Macan, Cayenne, or Panamera seems unlikely as the alphanumeric designation has never been applied to anything other than a two-door coupe, but then we never really know what the future will bring: Before 2002 Porsche had never done anything with more than two doors altogether. These designations are typically borrowed from their corresponding racing class, and of course there is no GT5 category. But then most of these racing classes have been amalgamated into GT3 anyway, unless Porsche is planning on using the name for its own entry-level spec racing series. But at this point we're just spitballing. It's just as likely that the company has simply filed the trademark application to keep its options open for the future. Related Video:
