This is a numbers matching, investment grade vehicle that you can still really enjoy driving.

History

This is originally a German market car delivered to Frankfurt, Germany according to the Kardex. There are no records from this time.

The 930 was imported in the early 1980s by Eibell Performance and sold to a Tampa, FL doctor who owned it until 2000. It was then purchased by the previous owner and kept in Tampa until I bought it two years ago. The car now has 62,000 kilometers on it.

I've always been obsessed with the rare and interesting color schemes on 911s, such as the 1966 911 in Slate Gray with red interior I sold earlier this year. The color scheme is the best one for an early 930 in my opinion, I have enjoyed driving this car the past two years. However, a 1976 930 is next to impossible to smog in California, and I got a ticket recently for my out-of-state Florida tags. I have decided to try a Ferrari for a change and purchased one recently. It now has a California title and is on a “non-op” registration. Because the seller is held responsible for passing smog, the car will not be sold to anyone planning to register the car in California.

Interior

Original full leather interior with Tartan Dress plaid cloth inserts as noted on the Kardex.
It is in great shape for it's age, and the only wear areas are a small area on the driver’s seat cloth and a crack in the rear parcel shelf speaker hole area (see pics).
The interior condition confirms the low mileage of the car.
Original extra-thick pile carpet with "Turbo" script on the drivers side rear seat back. In good condition for its age, but faded some from its original color.
The 930 had floor mats when I purchased it, and you can see the original color better in the areas the mats covered.
Original Blaupunkt Bamberg cassette deck with all accessories
Recording microphone
Amplifier and four original speakers
Additional control module mounted under ashtray
Owners manual in German
Power windows work great
Blower fan and heat controls function as they should.
All gauges are functional and have correct date stamps except the tachometer, which has a 1.5 bar boost gauge and is stamped 10/76.
This was a typical upgrade for '76 930 owners who wanted the boost gauge introduced on the '77 models.
Headliner is in excellent condition
The previous owner had the dash and steering wheel recovered in genuine leather due to typical sun damage. While they did a nice job appropriate to a driver-level car, the recovering was not done to factory standards of leather and stitching.

Body

This is why I purchased this particular 930: Zero rust and zero accident damage. So many of these early turbo "Widowmakers" were damaged severely and endured a rough life. The underbody, rocker panels, and fender wells still have all of the original undercoating, and the virgin condition confirms the low mileage of the car.

Ten years ago the previous owner had it completely repainted due to the original metallic paint failng, which is typical for these 1970s metallic cars.

Repainted in the original Copper Brown Metallic.
Paint gauge shows two layers of paint (original plus respray), no filler on any part of the body.
There is some orange peel in a few spots if you look closely, but overall the paint is in excellent condition and shines beautifully. There are no rock chips due to the car not being driven much after the repaint.
Every window and body seal and rubber part was replaced with new, including all bumper pads, bellows, seals, and front spoiler. Rear spoiler rubber is the only one not replaced because it is NLA.

Documentation

The original German owners manual and an English version are included.
Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
Kardex report from Porsche Classic confirming tartan dress inserts.
Two 1976 color full line brochures in English featuring a non-sunroof copper brown 911 with tartan interior like this one!
One rare 1975 brochure from the introduction of the upcoming 930 to the US market.
I have a folder full of service and repair records from the doctor who owned the car from the early 80s until 2000.
Photo of the car from the 1990s when the doctor owned it. You can see its completely stock appearance. The previous owner took the photo of it around Tampa because he admired the car, and a few years later saw it for sale and bought it!
The previous owner unfortunately lost most of his receipts during his ownership from 2000 due to a divorce. However, he and the mechanic who serviced the car and built the engine are available by phone and can verify what is listed below.
All records of parts and labor done during my ownership.

Mechanical

The car starts, runs, and drives like a proper 3.0 930 should. Clutch takeup is excellent, shifting is smooth and crisp with no hesitation or grinding in any gear.

Car was completely stock when the previous owner bought it in 2000. He had the following work done to the car in the past 10 years:

Numbers matching engine was rebuilt by Porsche Master Technician Carl Register (formerly of All Pro Porsche, now Porsche of Ocala).
Rebuilt to completely original 3.0 stock specification.
Original pistons and cylinders were in excellent condition, so they were re-used with new rings.
All new engine hardware, clamps and brackets. Engine looks brand new!
Upgraded to Carrera oil-fed tensioners
New stock oil cooler mounted in front fender
The original 4 speed transmission was in excellent condition, so Carl just resealed it. It shifts like new with no grinding.
The troublesome original turbo and restrictive exhaust system was replaced with:
New K27 turbo
New GHL stainless exhaust system including heat exchangers for cabin heat.
New GHL muffler. It has two exhausts, but I am told the right side can be removed and capped to get the original single exhaust look without much impact on performance. I have the original single-exhaust under-bumper valance.
New Tial wastegate
New Bilstein B6 Sports shock absorbers (green) all around
The original date-correct 15x7 and 15x8 Fuchs are in good condition with brand new Pirelli tires

I had the following work performed since I purchased the car, and I kept receipts for the parts and service:

Completely renewed front and rear suspension
New original ball joints, tie rods, and all suspension bushings
New original sway bar links and bushings
Drivers side window regulator rebuilt
Completely renewed brake system
All 4 calipers rebuilt
New brake rotors and pads
New flexible brake lines
New master cylinder
Ride height set to Euro specification, then four wheels aligned and corner balanced.

Extra Parts Included (not installed on vehicle)

The previous owner was planning to upgrade to a rotary compressor and bigger condensers, which he never got around to doing. He also didn’t like the looks of the rear window wiper, so he removed the mechanism and filled the holes when the car was repainted.

Complete original A/C ducts, under-dash vents, and components except lines, compressor and condensers.
Compressor mouting brackets are all included and appear new.
Front condenser guard and grid cover is included but they need straightening and painting.
Metal brackets for mounting the rear condender in the tail is included.
Original rear window wiper motor, mount, mechanism, and arm are included.
Original German market under-bumper fog lamp with mounting bracket.
Original single exhaust outlet under-bumper valence.

China bans military license plates on luxury autos

Wed, 01 May 2013

Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.
