1978 Porsche 930 Turbo Coupe 2-door 3.3l on 2040-cars
Bonney Lake, Washington, United States
|
1. I’m selling my 1978 Porsche 930 turbo. I have owned the car since 1986. When I bought the car from a private party I was informed that the mileage on the odometer was not guaranteed to be accurate, mainly because the car is a “Grey Market” car shipped from Germany to United States. Currently the odometer reads 54,669, which most likely represents the miles driven in the United States. I drove the car about 15,000 miles. The car should be considered as a project car. It has been garaged since 1992. Back in 1992 it was blowing the fuse for the fuel pump and leaking some oil and I intended to get it fixed but one thing lead to another and it just sat there. Title is clean, and I own the car free and clear. It was inspected and approved by Washington State Patrol when I bought it and is tagged accordingly, Control number 57332. Here’s a list of flaws and defects I know of. There may be more that I’m unaware of. ·
Clutch does not engage, it was working fine
in 1992 but now when you push the pedal it doesn’t engage and feels “spongy”. ·
Car doesn’t roll easily; I think the disc
brakes may be sticking some. ·
Driver window stuck down, it blew the window
fuse when I tried to roll it up. Worked fine
in 1992 ·
Passenger door won’t open. Linkage seems to be stuck. Again opened fine in 1992 ·
Oil cooler, located near front right wheel is
leaking slowly. ·
Engine leaks oil or something leaking near
engine compartment. Car has been sitting
in the same spot for a number of years so I know its leaking by oil stain on
garage floor. ·
Front hood spring doesn’t hold up hood, must
place something to keep it up. ·
Engine did turn over fine back in 1992, but I
haven’t tried to turn over recently because I don’t want to cause any damage. ·
Car was originally light blue in color, was
painted charcoal grey before I owned it.
There are a few very small spots where blue is showing through. ·
Slight scratches on front right of car. ·
Crack in paint on rear left of car. ·
Front spoiler rubber shows wear. ·
Small rust spot on front right near
headlight. ·
Seats show some wear in places. ·
I’m missing one of rear floor mats. Feel free to contact me with any questions at fvsportsfan@msn.com

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible
Sun, 16 Sep 2012Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
Porsche 911 2.7 RS values up by nearly 700% in the last 10 years [w/video]
Thu, Jan 1 2015These days if you have a wad of cash to invest in a classic car, Ferrari seems to be the best option. Hagerty's price index for the Italian supercars was up 43 percent in 2014, and Prancing Horses made up eight of the highest-selling vehicles at auction for the year. However, if you really want to watch your funds grow faster than practically any other legal investment, it might be worth setting your sights north of Maranello to Porsche in Germany. According to research from the Discovery Channel, the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS is the quickest-appreciating vehicle in the past decade, at least in the UK. In 2004, prices hovered around 65,000 pounds ($101,350 in current money), but buying one today would set you back over 500,000 pounds ($779,600). Rarer lightweight models go for even more. More than just a solid investment, buyers get what is considered to be the ultimate expression of the early 911. Built as a homologation special for racing, Porsche used the classic tactic of fitting a larger engine to boost power to about 210 horsepower while simultaneously cutting weight. A lower front air dam, extended fenders for wider wheels and ducktail spoiler at the back made sure the grip, aero and styling fit the motorsports attitude. You can get a brief taste of what it's like to drive one of these rare Porsches in the video from The Telegraph below. This one is even for sale, with an ambitious price of around 600,000 pounds ($935,000), and it also features legendary racer Derek Bell's autograph on the ashtray. Hopefully the car's eventual buyer remembers that the RS is a fantastic piece to drive, too, and stretches its legs every once in a while.
