1979 Porsche 930 Turbo
Chassis No. 9309800105
Ernst Fuhrmann adapted the turbo-technology originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM car to the 3.0 litre flat-six from the Carrera RS 3.0, and created what Porsche internally dubbed as 930. For the 1976 production year, a new model, called the "Turbo Carrera" was available (type 930, but officially titled "Turbo Carrera"). The car was a 911, but a very special one. It was turbocharged. This new model had the 3.0 liter engine, modified suspension, fender flares, and the most well-known trademark of all, the whaletail. It developed 234 hp and 246 lb-ft torque. It could go from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds, and cruise to 156 mph. The car was fast, powerful, and extremely tail-happy.
However, the 1976/77 Turbo Carrera was simply an intro to the "big" 930, of the 1978 model. In 2 years of further development, the car was upgraded into a 3.3 liter, intercooled, turbocharged monster that could go from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, and allow the speedo needle to soar past the 165 mark. The 930 was now just titled "Turbo" on the rear deck lid. Sadly, 1979 was the last year for the 930 in America. The 930 was discontinued in the US due mainly to emissions requirements.
With only 59,000 original miles, this Turbo remains in fantastic survivor condition. The entire interior is very much original, including the factory radio and working sunroof! The car has had a quality re-spray over the years, and shines quite well. All exterior rubber and plastic is solid and free of dry rot, including the tires. Mechanically the car is very strong, the engine pulls as it should, and the turbo spools up very nicely. A truly preserved example!
· Last year production 930!
· Only 59,000 original miles!
· A beautiful survivor!
Only: $35,250.00!!
