What you have here is an almost 100% original 1983 Porsche 930 turbo for sale (VIN WP0ZZZ93ZDS000708) which was imported from Germany in 1984. This car was originally imported to Portland Oregon in by the owner of an import/export business. This gentleman owned the car for years until he passed away and it was inherited by his nephew who held onto it in Portland for a couple of years. Eventually, it was purchased by Loren Beggs from 911design in Montclair CA. 911Design is one of the premier Porsche shops in California, just do a search on the Pelican Parts message board or look him up online. Loren was up in Portland for a race and was told about a car that was for sale and that he should have a look at. After reviewing the car he agreed to buy it and drove the car from Portland to his shop in Montclair CA 3 years ago. He said it ran like a top the whole way down. Loren bought it because of what incredible shape the interior of the car was in. Upon examining the car he noticed that the paint was in bad shape and he slowly began restoring it as a shop project (at that time it had 89,599 miles on it). I saw him post the restoration on his site and went to check out his shop because I knew I was going to be in the market for a 930 later in the year and I wanted to see what kind of work he did. That is how I was introduced to the car 1/2 way through the build when I realized no one owned it. I fell in love with it and purchased the car as it was being restored. This car has a fully rebuilt motor including rebuilt heads,
new bearings, timing chain tensioner, cams, and new fasteners. I
have the build list and you can see the process in the photos. The transmission was also rebuilt with brand new synchros
for all gears. The car was then fully stripped down to bare metal,
prepped/primed, wet sanded, and sprayed the original color in their state of
the art newly installed paint booth (no I don't work for them but their shop is insane). I took delivery of the car and had 911Design do the break-in
oil change and initial valve adjustment. As of this writing the car has 94,339
miles on it and I have changed the oil since the initial break in. The Good? The interior is in excellent shape. Very
minor wear to the leather and few scratches. Seat bolsters are in great shape
as well as the carpet, new headliner. It’s just beautiful on the inside and that Porsche smell
is still there. The engine is barely broken in as well as the tranny. The paint
as well is just beautiful. EVERYTHING WORKS. All switches, lights etc. It also
comes with 4 new tires with less than 2000 miles on them. It’s start on the
first crank and purrs like a kitten. The Bad: So what’s wrong with it? Nothing really. It tracks
dead nuts straight when you take your hand off the wheel on the highway. There
is a slight creak in the drivers door over bumps but that’s it.
Tranny synchros are not even worn in so 1st can be testy at times
but you just have to double clutch every once and while and it slides home.
There are 2-3 very small hits in the paint on the front bumper from small rocks
and a very light scratch in the hood clear coat which can buff out (it's about 5 inches long and only visible in sunlight at the right angle). So why am I selling it? Well, I’m remodeling my house and
the wife wants a back yard. What can I say? I have also discovered that I want
something a little more track oriented. The car is so nice and original I just
didn’t feel right strapping all the go fast goodies to it. There are tons of
cars out there like that but very few unmolested originals. I’m going to get
something a bit cheaper that I can thrash at the track and not freak out about
getting a scratch on. Also, I threw my knee out and am in physical therapy so
driving a clutch is not as fun as it used to be. So mostly original? What does that mean? It means the only non-stock item on the car is an aftermarket exhaust with no catalytic converter. I do have the catalytic converter that it was federalized with but understand depending on the emission laws of your state you might need to purchase an additional muffler to attach to the catalytic converter. This cat looks thicker than stock one so a stock 930 muffler won’t fit I don’t think. For CA buyers I will put the cat back on and get it smogged for you, but once it’s smogged I will have to put the non-smog muffler back on it. I am open to a pre-purchase inspection by a
reputable Porsche mechanic at the conclusion of the auction. This would be paid
for by the winning bidder and be a reasonable distance away (25 miles or so). |

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is one mean green machine
Sat, 20 Apr 2013The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper lightly."
Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, and that certainly makes for one quick sedan-hatchback-thing. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take just 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 167 mph. And while Porsche hasn't revealed specific powertrain details, the company says that the S E-Hybrid "improves upon the concept offered by the previous Panamera S Hybrid with a more powerful electric motor," which leads us to believe that the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine at the heart of it all still remains intact.
Fuel economy numbers (or estimates) have not been released as of this writing, but we expect to have that information closer to the car's on-sale date later this year. As for the new battery system, Porsche says that when plugged into a 240-volt charging station, it can be fully charged in just two and a half hours. When topped off, the Panamera S E-Hybrid should have an electric driving range of around 20 miles at speeds up to 84 mph, though, obviously, not at the same time.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Evo makes the case for the world's best driving road in Majorca
Tue, 05 Aug 2014What good is a sports car if you haven't got a great place to drive it? It's a common refrain that we've heard time and time again. But few are as familiar with the problem as they are in the UK, where the number of people, cars on the road and traffic cameras keep growing to conspire against the joy of driving. Leave it to Evo, then, to depart in search of the greatest driving road in the world.
It's a pursuit that's taken the British car mag across Europe, most recently to Romania's Carpathian Mountains where it added the Transalpina Pass to its short list. But its latest journey has taken Evo to the Spanish island of Majorca, where Henry Catchpole found not one, but two spectacular driving roads from behind the wheel of the new Porsche Boxster GTS. We could drone on about the smooth, empty ribbons of twisting tarmac with excellent visibility and panoramic vistas... but you really want to see the video for yourself. Don't miss Evo's previous trip to Romania in the Jaguar F-Type, which we've included below, as well.
