1987 Porsche 930

This is a nice driver condition car with low miles and some desirable options such as Sport Seats and a Limited Slip differential.  The majority of the car is stock with no modifications other than the addition of OEM Porsche Aero door mirrors (power of course).  I recently serviced the car and repaired a few items such as the rear emergency brake assemblies, window regulator, exhaust straps, A/C lines to the compressor and the accessory belts.  The body is very straight and damage free.  The paint is also quite nice and shows very well, but being black, there are multiple, visible small paint flaws, rock chips and swirl marks which are the result of average use and nothing out of the ordinary.  The interior also shows very well and has the factory, power sport seats.  

Leather condition is very good but there is normal wear and small, slight creases.  The driver's side bolster does have minor wear but it is in better shape than most (see close up pic).  Passenger seat is nice but does have a stain on the seating surface which may be able to be fixed by leather treatment or touch up specialist (see close up pic).  Headliner, carpets, rear seats, rear parcel shelf, dash, shift knob and boot, and gauges are also very nice with no damage or warping.  

Wheels are factory option 7" and 9" BBS with no curbing or scratches; tires are recent and are in great shape.  The wheels are straight and lips are bright and the clear-coat is nearly perfect.  The painted centers are also perfect.  I have the BBS center cap wrench as well.  

Engine starts up quickly and runs very well with no smoking, stumbling or erratic idle.  Transmission shifts well and clutch engages smoothly at the appropriate pedal height.  The motor is for the most part, dry underneath but it does drip a very small amount (a couple drops maybe) particularly if the car sits for some time.  Turbo is dry and does not smoke.  Undercarriage and floors including the front pan are straight with no indentations or gouges.  Glass is very nice as well as the exterior rubber trim.  

Car has the manuals, tool kit, spare and jack.

This is a perfect car to drive and enjoy because it has nice mileage and is stock.  It's not perfect but it looks and drives great.  If you plan on buying and registering this car in CA you will not pass emissions as the car runs with no cat...car is being sold without a cat.  You are welcome to come see the car in person or if you need photographs of anything specific I will provide them to you.  If you want an independent inspection, this is also fine but it will be at your expense.  There are several, very reputable Porsche independent shops reasonably close to me.

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
