Listing Description

1979 Porsche 930 Turbo. Equipped with all the factory goodies including sport seats and limited slip differential, mildly sweetened with stronger and lighter clutch and flywheel assemblies, Billy Boat Performance headers and a period correct set of aftermarket Kinesis K19 forged three piece staggered alloy wheels. There's a killer three spoke leather wrapped steering wheel to wrap your white knuckles around. But the real streusel on top of this rouladen is a 5-Speed G50 swap. Endowing this Turbo with an extra gear is a revelation, one that took the factory 14 years to share with us mere mortals in the final edition 1989 model.This car has had its share of engine out rebuilds and reseals, all to its current benefit. No, it has no file full of service records or documented ownership history. The proof is in the driver's seat. It has likely served a variety of owners, some as a dutiful daily driver and for others a capable weekend track car. Today, it will deliver acceptable compression and leak down test results. It starts right up, steers, stops and corners like a Porsche should and of course accelerates unlike any Porsche made before or since. The paint looks fantastic, a likely respray. There are no signs of collision damage or rust anywhere. The interior is also in excellent unrestored condition. All of the lights and instrumentation work including an annoying aftermarket LED stochiometer. The sunroof and window lifts work as they should and the glass and weather seals are all in good condition. There is an aftermarket stereo and a multitude of 6x9's in the back for some reason. If you drive this car like its meant to be driven it requires your full and undivided attention. And of course, the bonus is that it is drop dead gorgeous. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or CallDoors: 2
