Slant Nose Conversion vs Standard 930 Front
 

I've been lurking and reading for awhile in an effort to gather as much information as I can before taking the 930 plunge.

Found an extremely nice slant nose conversion that's pretty much in my price range. It's about the same $$$ as a pretty nice "standard" front. Similar miles, but the slant's had lots of recent work (rebuilt tranny, brakes, tires etc) while the other one is a well-maintained, two owner car (current owner's had it since 85). Both are real 930s with essentially stock drivetrains.

Here's my question; if everything else is equal (of course, in the case of the cars I'm looking at, things aren't - the converted car is nicer) how does the value of a 930 with a very well done slant nose conversion (steel) compare with one that hasn't been altered?

Thanks,

Depends on who did the conversion and when and with what parts. OEM parts?
Generally, a slant conversion is worth less than either a real slant or a regular 930.

Be weary! There are a lot of hacked up cars out there. Check for documentation on who did the slant nose conversion. When I bought mine I was luke warm on a slant nose. It was the nicer car though and I figured if I did not warm up to it, I could always go back to the stock look for around $3-5k.


I have grown pretty fond of it though. It seems like there are a lot of them for sale on auto-trader at any given time compared to the stock nose cars given how many were converted. Looking at auto-trader, there does not seem to be much of a difference in price between slant and stock for similar mileage cars.

When you check the records, take a look at driving frequency as well. How did those miles get on the car. Did it sit for years at a time. Given the age of these cars, even a 100k miles car is really a low use vehicle if you look at miles per year.

They are a blast to drive!!

Good Luck!
