1978 Porsche 930 Turbo
VIN 9308800170 The VIN matches in the window and in the front trunk. I checked the engine code and serial # and I believe they match with the 1978 MY. California model This is the perfect weekend driver. The car is only driven on nice days, stored inside. It always runs and runs strong. No pulling or coughing. Hardly a rattle either. Brakes are amazing. It’s used mostly for dinners and running around town. I’ve taken in on 300 mile weekend trips with no issue. Repairs and upgrades: From the past owner: The original owner back dated the car to the early 70s style exhaust headers so there are no cats. I've got receipts for head studs, carrara chain tensioner, new clutch, ss oil lines, new bilsteins all around. Lots of other minor stuff too. Front seats are newly redone with Porsche leather. All done around 5k miles ago. Has an adjustable Porsche waste gate, set at 1 bar. New modern headlight from Pelican (still look stock to my eyes). Re-wired the fuel pump and stereo circuits to take the load off the fuse bar (very important). Added a new RarlyL8 straight-through muffler. I have a custom car cover. Performance: With the higher boost and straight through exhaust the car is a rocket. The sound is louder than stock, but is very nice. Car runs straight and true. Everything is very tight. 3rd gear acceleration on the freeway is ridiculous. Issues I know of: Re-spray of factory white There are a couple small marks on the panel under the door near the jack hole where I’ve had to touch up with paint stick. I noticed a small amount of rash on one of the wheels. The AC is non operational. Needs a new compressor at minimum. I removed the belt. Heating system works, but is simplified on/off. I don’t have the manual, but I do have one from 1979 that came with it. I don’t have the original tool kit or receipts from before 2000. Some trim/weatherstrip pieces are not quite centered properly The interior is very good condition, but shows some wear. If you intend to drive your car then what's the point of buying a $200K show condition 930? This is the happy medium; great looking, great running and priced in the middle of the pack. |

Porsche Cayman GT4 speeds back into view
Tue, 18 Nov 2014We're all familiar with the succession of numbers that follow the letters GT on a hard-core Porsche 911: the GT1 that was Stuttgart's Le Mans contender in the late 90s, the GT2 that packs turbochargers but without the Turbo's all-wheel drive and excess weight, and the naturally aspirated GT3 that's the enthusiast's choice. But a GT4? That's something new, and exactly what Porsche has in store.
Spied testing in Germany once again is the upcoming GT4 version of the Porsche Cayman, set to supersede the existing GTS and take the place of the previous Cayman R at the top of Porsche's junior sports car range. This latest batch of spy shots doesn't show us much more than the last crop, but gives us a much clearer view at what promises to be the most hardcore Cayman to date.
As you can see, the Cayman GT4 packs a much more aggressive aero kit and rolling stock than any version we've seen to date. It's got a lip spoiler, big air dam and GT3-style vent in front of the hood, deep air scoops along the flanks, a set of spindly alloys packing oversized brakes, a diffuser with twin central exhaust tips around back and a rear wing that's likely to be replaced with a sleeker unit before the GT4 reaches production.
Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?
Tue, Feb 23 2016Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:
