1978 Porsche 930 Turbo Coupe 2-door 3.3l on 2040-cars
Bonney Lake, Washington, United States
1. I’m selling my 1978 Porsche 930 turbo. I have owned the car since 1986. When I bought the car from a private party I was informed that the mileage on the odometer was not guaranteed to be accurate, mainly because the car is a “Grey Market” car shipped from Germany to United States. Currently the odometer reads 54,669, which most likely represents the miles driven in the United States. I drove the car about 15,000 miles. The car should be considered as a project car. It has been garaged since 1992. Back in 1992 it was blowing the fuse for the fuel pump and leaking some oil and I intended to get it fixed but one thing lead to another and it just sat there. Title is clean, and I own the car free and clear. It was inspected and approved by Washington State Patrol when I bought it and is tagged accordingly, Control number 57332. Here’s a list of flaws and defects I know of. There may be more that I’m unaware of. ·
Clutch does not engage, it was working fine
in 1992 but now when you push the pedal it doesn’t engage and feels “spongy”. ·
Car doesn’t roll easily; I think the disc
brakes may be sticking some. ·
Driver window stuck down, it blew the window
fuse when I tried to roll it up. Worked fine
in 1992 ·
Passenger door won’t open. Linkage seems to be stuck. Again opened fine in 1992 ·
Oil cooler, located near front right wheel is
leaking slowly. ·
Engine leaks oil or something leaking near
engine compartment. Car has been sitting
in the same spot for a number of years so I know its leaking by oil stain on
garage floor. ·
Front hood spring doesn’t hold up hood, must
place something to keep it up. ·
Engine did turn over fine back in 1992, but I
haven’t tried to turn over recently because I don’t want to cause any damage. ·
Car was originally light blue in color, was
painted charcoal grey before I owned it.
There are a few very small spots where blue is showing through. ·
Slight scratches on front right of car. ·
Crack in paint on rear left of car. ·
Front spoiler rubber shows wear. ·
Small rust spot on front right near
headlight. ·
Seats show some wear in places. ·
I’m missing one of rear floor mats. Feel free to contact me with any questions at fvsportsfan@msn.com

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Wed, 04 Sep 2013A Wicked-Fast Street Legal Multi-Tool
Walter Röhrl was carving up the circuit in the Porsche 911 Turbo S like a skilled Jedi Master - and I was sitting next to him, mesmerized by the breathtaking show. I had strapped myself securely into the front passenger bucket of the all-new coupe less than a minute earlier, expecting nothing more than a few quick laps around a track at the hands of another celebrated race driver. Been there, done that. Many times, actually.
Yet this was different. Röhrl was not only calculated and methodical in his approach, but his rally-tuned cerebrum appeared to be actively reading available grip levels while effortlessly tossing the all-wheel-drive Porsche into each corner at gut-wrenching speeds. His hands were moving rapidly, sending tiny steering corrections to the front tires, and he was using every inch of the track to extract more speed. We launched over a curb, dropped a wheel in the dirt and then drifted around a wide off-camber turn. His human precision and focus was astounding, and the performance he was extracting from the machine was just short of breathtaking.
Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time
Wed, 04 Jun 2014You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.
