1982 Porsche 930 (911 Turbo)

Vin WP0JA0935CS050089

Mileage is in kilometres

 

In 1982 eighty nine 930s were imported to Canada, so this particular car was the last one for that year.   They made less than a thousand in 1982 overall, and the Canadian cars are Euro spec – 300 hp with a nice stance. 

 

Paint to sample, limited slip, sports seats.  Car was sold new in Toronto, Ontario.  Particulars on the first two owners are in the original owner’s manual and service booklet, which are in new condition.  The third owner purchased the car in April of 1988 at 59.3K kms, and I have the invoice.  The original build sheet and service records from 1982 to 1988 are not available, but the third owner maintained good records and plenty of regular maintenance was performed, with most of the maintenance performed by Riegel Tuning in Calgary, Alberta.  In 1996 the car was inspected by the owner’s insurance company and was showing 129.4k Kms.  There is an invoice on file dated 2000 for a windows out repaint - $6300 at 131K kms.  The condition of the paint and panels is excellent, with the usual stone chips on the hood and mirrors after 35K kms of travel.  I spoke with the owner who paid for this work, and he has advised that it was done to spruce the car up for sale, and not to repair damage or rust.  There are absolutely no rust, dents, dings.  The underside is solid with original undercoating and no corrosion. 

 

In 2002 the car changed hands at 136.3K kms and in April, 2005 an engine out service and reseal was performed at 141,416 kms – cost was $6,892.51.  Among the most significant service items were a new clutch, new flywheel, and upgraded chain tensioner kit.  Compression was 130 in all 6 cylinders, and leakdown results were 3% for 1, 2, 3, 2% for 4, 5% for 5, 6. 

 

In 2006 the car was sold to the fellow I purchased it from, and there are spotty records for the occasional service and minor maintenance.  Brake master and alternator were replaced.  When he had it appraised in 2011 there were 155K Kms on the odometer, which was the mileage when I took delivery in March, 2012. 

 

I interviewed 3 of the previous 5 owners who had owned the car since 1988.  This 930 has been stored in garages during winters.  The car has an expensive Alpine period correct stereo system that includes a multiple CD changer, amplifier, digital receiver, and 4 speakers.   All glass is perfect, and the front windshield was recently replaced.

 

I have a detailed summary of the service I’ve performed since taking possession (receipts are available) and have been fastidious about the basic maintenance (new rear brake rotors and pads, fuel injectors, plugs and wires, adjust valves, change all filters, cap, rotor, O rings, wheel alignment, new tires, adjust clutch, etc….).   I keep the car in a heated garage and have not driven it in the rain or on the track.  All electrical and mechanical items work as they should except for the power antenna.  The AC hasn’t been charged since before the last owner bought it in 2006, but all parts are intact.

 

This car runs strong and quite remarkably, does not leak one drop of oil.  I may add up to 200 mls between oil changes (I change the oil every 1500 miles), which for a 166K km turbo motor (100K miles) is noteworthy – the motor does not smoke, even on boost.  If it sits for a week + there may be a puff of smoke on start up.  The car pulls well through the entire rev range, the 4 speed shifts as it should with no binding or grinding.  I note in the service history that the syncros have received work in the past.  No mods – this car is bone stock except for the stereo.

 

The interior is in excellent condition for the age and miles, although the bolster in the driver seat is getting tired.  It is not torn, but the piping is frayed and faded.   Carpets are excellent.  Two of the wheels have a smearing of minor curb rash, and the tires are almost new.  Interior has a rich leather smell.

 

The car includes the original tool kit and air pump, and the spare.    Includes Porsche 930 service manual on CD, as well as all records, owners, and warranty manuals.    I would not hesitate to drive this across the Continent, it has been that reliable.  Don’t let the mileage dissuade you – this car has been driven an average of 5K Kms per year over it’s life, and has been well maintained.   


I reserve the right to end the auction early.  For the successful bidder a $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction closing.  Payment is full is due within 5 days of closing.  Local pickup preferred, and I will work with the buyer to arrange for transportation or shipping at the buyer's expense.

Porsche Macan teaser reveals unique quad-LEDs

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

In truth, all-but-undisguised prototypes for the upcoming Porsche Macan compact crossover have been spotted galavanting all around the globe for some time now, but even the least-camouflaged examples have been caught wearing eyepatches covering their headlights and taillights. A dark new teaser image from Porsche clues us in to why that is - the baby Cayenne is getting unique quad-LED peepers up front.
Porsche has been hinting at lighting innovations in its production cars through recent concept reveals, including the stunning Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo showcar from last year's Paris Motor Show. The wagonized Panamera also featured four-point LED arrays up front, as well is in the rear, so it seems likely that this lighting will become a Porsche design signature going forward.
Powerpoint slides leaked from a recent dealer meeting suggest the Macan S will arrive packing a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will boast a 3.6-liter force-fed unit, with both models receiving seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearboxes. Pricing is expected to range from $52,000 for the S model to $75,000 for the Turbo.

Paul Walker's daughter settles for $10m in crash lawsuit

Sun, Apr 10 2016

Meadow Walker, daughter of the late Paul Walker, has agreed to a settlement with the estate of Roger Rodas worth $10.1 million over the death of her father. The basis of the settlement is that Rodas, who was driving the Porsche Carrera GT when it crashed, killing himself and Walker, was partly at fault for Walker's death. Police officials ruled that excessive speed was the main cause of the deaths of Rodas and Walker. According to TMZ, quoting attorney Jeff Milam, who is representing Meadow Walker, this sum is only a small fraction of the amount Paul Walker would have earned over his lifetime as an actor, which is almost certainly true. Walker was 40 at the time of his death, and was in the midst of a highly successful Hollywood career. A lawsuit was filed in September of 2015 by Walker's daughter against Porsche, alleging that the German automaker is also at fault for the deaths. Through her lawyer, Meadow says she "intends to hold the company responsible for producing a vehicle that was defective and caused Paul Walker's death." A court recently found that Porsche was not at fault for the death of Roger Rodas. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Porsche 911 going all-turbo this year save for GT3 and GT3 RS

Fri, Jan 23 2015

The coming Porsche 911 GT3 RS will represent another high-water mark for the brand, and another milestone. Its 500-or-so horsepower and extreme aero are predicted to lop more than five seconds off the 7:20 Nurburgring lap time of the current GT3, making it "comfortably less" than 7:20. Beyond that, its naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter will form the basis of the turbocharged engines going into the standard range of 911s later this year as 2016 models. That's right – if you're looking for a sub-GT3 911 that gulps its air without compressed assistance, then you've only got a few months to get a new one into your garage. Emissions regulations are the reason, of course, with Porsche's R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz saying that, "Every new model will have lower CO2 than before," and "if you look at euro per g/km, then it's turbo." We don't know what the engine lineup will look like, however; a few months ago Car reported that the base 911 would get a smaller-displacement version of the engine, while the S would stick with 3.8-liter displacement and jump to 520 horsepower, which is the same as the current Turbo. After that, Hatz said, "at the end of the decade electrification has to be the next huge step." That means a hybrid 911 is being cooked up somewhere. Yet even as the brand leaps into the new, there's a chance it could dip a toe back into the old: the 911 GT3 RS will launch with a PDK, but Hatz's team is considering adding the option of a seven-speed manual. Elsewhere in the range, the Cayman GT4 is being engineered by Porsche Motorsport as an entry-level racer, with more power than the current Cayman GTS to go with some serious weight loss. They are also developing a track-only model for privateers. The standard Boxster and Cayman will get turbocharged flat-four engines, but there'll be a sporty Boxster that also loses weight and gets more power than the 325-hp Boxster GTS. And that mid-level supercar that's been floating in the ether for years and supposedly sent to purgatory again just last November? It's on the way by 2020 "at the latest," and will use a version of the new V8 that will eventually go into the Cayenne and Panamera.
