1982 Porsche 930 Canadian Car Euro Spec Excellent Driver Well Maintained on 2040-cars
Year:1982
Mileage:166400
Location:
Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia, Canada
|
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. |

Techart Porsche 911 Targa 4S is a tuner's attempt at being tasteful
Thu, Mar 5 2015We've not been terribly nice to the aftermarket tuners of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. That's largely because they don't deserve our kindness. Techart, though, is not going to be the subject of derision, largely because aside from painting this Porsche 911 Targa a particularly lurid shade of yellow (and finding seat upholstery and trim to match), the changes aren't particularly offensive. Hell, paint it black, silver or red, and it'd just look like a more aggressive Porsche. That's largely because it is. Techart has behaved itself, fitting a brand new body kit featuring a new rear spoiler, diffuser, front splitter and side skirts, and replacing the much of the interior componentry with carbon fiber and aluminum components. The tuner doesn't mention the exact name of the shade used both inside and out on this Targa, although those with more conservative tastes will rest easy knowing that "stylistic harmony with standard or Techart individual paint is guaranteed." Techart's deft aesthetic treatment hides a similarly light tweaking under the sheetmetal. This car features a new exhaust system, complete with four staggered exhaust pipes that have been finished in black chrome. And that's it. There aren't 17 turbos or a new intake manifold crafted from free-range ivory. It's the same 400-horsepower flat six found in a normal Targa 4S. Techart has fitted its own springs, although it doesn't tell us how much (or even if) the ride has been lowered. 21-inch alloys round out the more practical changes. Check out our full gallery of live images of Techart's latest creation, direct from Geneva.

Ferrari IPO may turn out to be good news for enthusiasts
Tue, Oct 27 2015Sergio Marchionne's strategy to spin off Ferrari from FCA and make the Italian automaker a publicly traded company has been met with ire from a vocal contingent of enthusiasts ever since rumors about the plan began to surface a few years ago. Some of these particularly pessimistic automotive pundits have voiced fears that with stockholders in the mix, it would not only spell the demise of the exclusive Italian supercar maker as we know it, but would in fact "ruin" the company. Call me dense, but I fail to see what the issue is. That isn't to say that I don't understand what's causing the fear. When profitability becomes a higher priority for a brand that's historically relied on exclusivity to keep its products in the highest echelons of desirability, there's a high potential for internal philosophical conflict. And then there are concerns about the sorts of products that Ferrari might develop that aren't the high-performance sports cars that the brand is known for. But individuals with those apprehensions seem to forget that Ferrari has already lent its name to a multitude of things that are not LaFerraris, 488 GTBs, or F12 Berlinettas, including clothing, headphones, and even laptops. But let's assume for a moment that the core anxiety is about future vehicles – including the unspeakable notion that Ferrari might develop an SUV. Why wouldn't Ferrari build an SUV, especially after seeing how incredibly successful that endeavor has been for Porsche? I think it's likely that Ferrari will put engineers to task creating some sort of crossover or high-rolling cruiser with room for the whole family at some point in the near future. And why wouldn't it, after seeing how incredibly successful that endeavor has been for Porsche? After all, the Cayenne accounted for more US sales in 2013 than the Boxster, Cayman, 911, and 918 combined, and it only gave up about a thousand units of sales last year to make room for the Macan crossover, the latter of which Porsche sold nearly as many of as it did Boxsters and Caymans. People want these vehicles, and they're willing to pay quite a bit of money for them. If we use Porsche's recent trajectory as a foreshadowing metric for what's in store for Ferrari, the future actually looks pretty good. After all, those SUV sales keep plenty of cash in Porsche's coffers for the low-volume projects that we enthusiasts love, like the 918 Spyder and the 911 GT3 RS.
