My 1st 930

[dporsche74]

Hey Guys.

I just scored my 1st 930 this evening. very excited!!
.. It is a ROW 1977 930 # 67
imported in 85 to the US. and us body specs to US DOT paperwork. but engine excluded
and the dreaded 90's slant noise "KIT" "AIR "
Seems to be Ice green metallic underneath as well.
Really would like to make right and any help and parts would be most appreciated
front end parts
rear tail bumperettes reflectors etc... thanks!!

rolled home this evening... dont judge yet. lol

Congrats on the 930! I suggest you keep the Slantnose look, because like my Slantnose, it would catch more people's curiosity, which makes it more special, though every once in a while I have at least one person asking if it's some kind of kit car However, if you really don't like the look, you can get regular 930 front fenders, but keep the Slant fenders if you ever want to go back to the Slant look in the future.

Thanks !!!
I haven't popped the wheels off yet. But i think they are 7 x 9 /16 fuchs.
But that wouldn't be correct for a 77 i dont think..
.. would it have had the RSR 9 x11 15 fuchs stock ?

Since the slanty nose came so much later MY .. I REALLY want them off ASAP
and make back to correct for MY77

Does anyone have a totally stock factory pictures or links to early 930 websites for reference and inspiration....

Will it just have the same front bumper and valance fogs etc.. of a normal 911S to replace with
from the 76-83 SC???

Nice find. The early ones are getting harder to locate. Stock wheels would be 7&8x16s. There is a 100+ page thread devoted to the 3,0 liter 930s on ferrarichat and there is a fairly new 930-turbo registry/ that is a good resource.

The front bodywork is pretty similar to 911s of the same vintage. The tail may be a challenge to find. How much of the original drivetrain is intact?

Have fun with it! -John

Thanks for the tips. Will have to learn about this car .
. The engine is original 677xxx no intercooler.
36K miles on the odo and records show about 1000 miles since 2006 .
it is quite the beast once the turbo kicks in .. looong lag tho needs tune up .
it does have the CIS idle bounce cold .. stalls once and and while once warm
Love CIS ... not... not bad for basically barn find

Congrats !!! Nice 930, it'll nice to find an original lid/tail for it...

[quattrorunner]

Great car! I'd love one.

[Tilikum Turbo]

Nice find...either in slant or 'regular' form.

Porsche's in general attract WAY too much attention. I personally wish my car was as invisible
as my Corolla.

I'm pretty sure you can still order front fenders from Porsche. Then you need to get some H4s and trim rings.
- snorkel washers can be ordered from Konradsheim website
- US bumperettes are fine, but keep a watch on Pelican for Euro bumperettes
- correct wheels would be 16x7x8
- turbo rockers can be found on Pelican
- the really difficult item is finding a correct whaletail with good rubber lip

[dporsche74]

h4 are correct not H1

[WPOZZZ]

Another hard to find part would be the turbocarrera badge.

[dporsche74]

This one is ROW..so just turbo ..... turbo carrera was the USA model i have learned

[krasuskyp]

welcome, congrats

tell us about how you found the 'barn find' - love those stories

where in CT you at? I'm near UCONN...

[Robbbyg]

Mine had a 964 front end conversion i got lucky and found a complete front bumper etc for $500
which was less than i sold the old 964 bits for

dporsche74,

You mentioned here you wanted to see some original pictures, here is one of my 1977 Turbo Carrera, there are some more here in the Owners Turbo Pictures thread.
Good luck !

[clexton1]

Great find!

Correct front fenders would be narrow body with flares welded in at the factory. My '76 came with only a driver side mirror, may have been the same for '77, not sure on that one. Finding a correct tail with all the right parts is going to be the hardest thing to find, they pop up from time to time.

Good luck!

The right (passenger) mirror; same for my 77, I understand it was an option....

[unclebilly]

Awesome find! You can always convert it back.

I'd be interested in the slant fenders etc...
