The 930 has been a dream car of mine so when I found this unmolested, air-cooled model just north of me in Hilton Head, I could not believe it. From what I hear the previous owner has been through a number of Porsches, his daughter would not let him sell this until she was in college. He does promotional work for Bosch and the 24 hour race at Le Mans, along with other large sporting events, which is how he got turned onto the Andial guys some time ago. The one downside to this is he lost the paperwork documenting this motor work during one of his moves. I thought it was going to be a deal breaker but after a test drive, I was sold. If it helps at all I can provide his number along with the mechanic who did the work for him (he is still working at Andial) if necessary. I realize this does no justice so I put her on the dyno to see what kind of numbers she is producing (video and curve below).

It kills me to sell but it was poor timing. Shortly after the purchase another dream car came about locally, a 1972 BMW 2002 (featured on the Cars I See shorts). It is taking a lot of work to get her prepped for this race season. Almost all of my time and money is now spent on the 02. The 02 stays at the house while the 930 is in a unit under cover at a storage facility I own. The previous owner kept her in his climate controlled garage. Overall, she is not getting the attention she needs – the car needs to be driven – more than the 2-3 times a week I can pull off.

On to the issues: (1) The number one issue I have with this 930 is the paint. The previous owner sprayed her ten years ago and it looks great from 5-10ft but it is by no means perfect. I did not want to hinder funds for the 02 project to get it corrected. (2) There are some spots of the interior that need to be dyed. (3) The ac blows but it is not cold. (4) The fuel and oil level gauge look clear at first, but when air gets moving it does tend to fog up a little – readings are still visible. (5) Passenger mirror is somewhat loose – it can still be adjust from the switch inside – hope to address this before sale. (6) Radio and antenna work however it seems only 1-2 speakers are playing on passenger side – will try and get this addressed as well. I believe that’s it, if I think of anything else I will be sure and update the post. Overall, I just take it as it is. I do not have to ‘worry’ about her as much as I would a concours car while on the road – I enjoy the hell out of it.

To wrap up – I am a Coastal Empire PCA member and have driven the 930 to Brumos in Jacksonville to view the collection along with day trips to Charleston, SC with no issues whatsoever. On one drive to St. Simons for a Dine and Drive, I was sure it was going to overheat considering it was the middle of Summer – sure enough it did not even make it to the half way mark! It is an absolute pleasure to drive and needs NOTHING. I have never tracked the car, as badly as I wanted too - I am too tall to fit with a helmet and the factory seat in place - it has been a perfect date/weekend/PCA meet car for me. All major maintenance has been completed in the last 3,000 miles. It is ready to drive and enjoy worry free!

Located in Savannah, GA. Pre-purchase inspections are more than welcome and will be happy to assist in any way.
