Condition:

Exterior: 90% original paint.  Clean CarFax, no accidents.  When I acquired the car in December of 2013, the car was very original and solid, but was lacking the final "polish" to show well.  So I gave it to to my favorite paint/body guy with the brief to "brush this up this slightly where needed, but maintain the originality above all."  Work completed included full detail, blending some new paint around the flares (stone chips and the such only, no dents or body work) and front spoiler and rockers, the wheel lips were polished and any curb rash was repaired (all four 16" Fuchs are original to the car).  A couple door and sun roof seals were replaced as were a couple old cloudy light lenses and light gaskets.  But, this car is VERY original, no body work ever.  Total bill was about $3,400.

Interior: Like the exterior, the car just needed some polish.  I ordered and installed a new custom carpet kit from Classic Carpets in Belgium ($661 Euros + shipping), that looks absolutely Factory NOS, re-upolstered and re-clothed the driver's seat (wear from 27 years of an ass on that seat), cleaned the original leather and swapped the worn steering wheel for a NOS vintage Momo Prototipo ($1,000).  The headliner was also tightened in the few places it was sagging.  Total interior bill, about $4,800 w/ carpet kit and wheel.  If you PREFER the factory wheel, I'm having that restored in Florida, so you could have that instead when done, but then I keep the vintage MOMO/get it back.

Mechanical: The legendary Andial re-built the motor at about 101,000 miles (car has a little over 104,000 now), re-did the brakes, etc.  I will post the work order.  I let my mechanical guys at the car, and they could not find a thing to fix, short of replacing a light bulb in the left driving light and a couple other interior bulbs.

Known issues: A small stain on the cloth rear passenger side seat (see picture), slight wear on the leather sport seat bolsters (see pictures) and usual marks from 27 years of low miles used per year (averaged 4K a year driven).  The cassette player is also missing the dust cover door.

Overall: This car was owned by the same guy in Southern California from 1988 to December 2013 when I bought it.  It was his dream car and it was never parked outdoors overnight.  While it was used sparingly (to the average of about 4K miles a year), it is a VERY solid, very original, very well kept car.  I have the window sticker from the Porsche dealer where the 2nd owner bought it in 1988, they had it Federalized.  It's passed smog every year except for one year (pre-engine re-build) and it's currently registered and smog-cleared.  This is a no-excuses 930 that matches the window sticker and the Porsche COA I had ordered in every way.

So, you've got a car with a window sticker from the Porsche Dealer who sold it as a used Gray market car in 1988, a Porsche COA issued in December of 2013, an single owner history of 27 years, $40,000 in work receipts done over the last 3,000 miles driven, including an Andial engine rebuild (Google them, they are legend for Porsche engines).  It's also a very unique color combo, very period, very European, and not something boring you'll see ten of at the next Porsche owner's event.

VIN decode:

W = Germany
P = Porsche
0 = sports car
J = G model turbo coupe
B= G model turbo engine
0 = no air bags
93 = 911
9 = checksum digit
G = 1986
S = Stuttgard built (right plant for 911)
050065 = serial #

So, a "WP0" car was built for any market that was not the US or Canada.  Thus, "Gray Market" imported (again, not an issue at all as long as there is a clean title and smog, which there is).  Some collectors prefer US cars as they are "100% as intended" and some collectors prefer the Euro cars as they – generally – have more power (less smog stuff) and cleaner bumpers/turn signals.


On Apr-21-14 at 19:36:23 PDT, seller added the following information:

At 101,677, Andial rebuilt the engine, the front and rear brakes and did a number of small items for $19,013.46 and $2,756.77. The car also comes with all the service records and owners manuals going back to the 80s.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Porsche's Tesla-fighter could have 600 hp and 300-mile range

Sun, Feb 22 2015

Will this be the Ragin' Pajun? Some details on the all-electric "Tesla fighter" from Porsche have been revealed by UK's Car magazine, and, to put it bluntly, the model that has preliminarily been dubbed the 717 will be an absolute beast when it hits the road as early as 2019. With some technological help from parent company Volkswagen, Porsche is planning a model that will have about a 300-mile single-charge range, and a version that may deliver as much as 600 horsepower. The four-door will also be four-wheel-drive, with one electric motor per axle, and four-wheel steering, all for the sake of consistency, Car says. Additionally, unlike the Tesla Model S, with its battery packs running flat along the floor of the vehicle, the 717's battery layout will be far more complex, complete with bulkhead walls and 108 separate battery pouches. Last month, German publication Auto Motor und Sport reported that the Panamera's junior variant, aka the Pajun, was indeed going to be an all-electric affair. Still, beyond a few digital renderings and an estimated single-charge range of 250 miles, few details were revealed.

Porsche drivers escape this horrific VIR crash unscathed

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

There is no doubting the fact that it takes nerves of steel to be a racecar driver, but the same can also be said for motorsports photographers. Case in point: The American Le Mans Series Oak Tree Grand Prix at the Virginia International Raceway where two Porsche 911 racecars crash hard into the tire barrier, but the dedicated cameraman stays with the shot - diving away only at the last second just as the battered No. 31 car (shown above) comes to rest atop the tire barriers just feet from where he was standing.
The crash occurred when the two Porsches charged hard into a corner. Judging by the video, the white No. 48 car appears to not see the orange No. 31 and the two cars make contact, skidding off track hitting the tire barriers at a high rate of speed. Both drivers walked away from the frightening crash, but the video - posted below - shows just how bad things could have been. Hopefully the close call will serve as a lesson for the woman standing in the track marshal's post who has her back to the racing as the two cars barrel directly toward her.
