Slant nose 930

BTW the standard 930 is still a site to behold IRL. One of the most "macho" cars ever made!

Aussie Orange, if you ever make it to the Dallas/Fort Worth area of TexASS, you are more than welcome to take mine for a whirl and get your macho on (no homo! ).

lol... Thanks Raunch.

I might just take you up on that when this pandemic BS is over.

Let me know if you come to Denver in the warmer months and you can take the RS for a spin.

A friend of mine who collects mostly exotic cars had an '89 Turbo slant nose. I think he said it was orginally ordered by the guy who played Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies. I was sort of surprised at the build quality on some of the areas such as the rear fender slats. I guess Porsche got away with that sort of thing back then. It was like a prototype.

From memory the rear fender slats on the special swishes cars were made of wood.

I agree.
The black one in the first post is gorgeous.

There was a time in the 1980s when I lusted after a DP935 . . . then I saw the Ruf CTR! I wouldn't want any slant nose now.

Thank you. That's very generous.

This is my friends 964 Turbo slantnose. This is #5 out of 10 that Porsche built in all aluminum. Pretty cool.

We have one local PCA member that has one of the prototype Genuine Porsche built 930 Slant nose cars, and the documentation to prove it. It was a very early prototype, and Porsche built it, and realized there was no good place for headlights the stuck them in the bumper and lower valance. It does not have pop up headlights. Personally I think it is ugly, but it a rare car. I was never a fan of the Don Johnson era of slant nose 911s. Just my opinion.

The silver car just above is pretty cool Aluminum body slat nose and late enough in the production that the car looks finished and not a hack job.

Taken long ago at my parent's house a few years after I got the car. Still have it. Yep, I agree, cab just don't look right with Slant nose.

LOL, the standard bodied turbo cabs are much better than the slant nose, IMO.

Very cool. I'd not heard of those. So Al is the color or what many of the body parts are made of (I'm assuming the latter).

I actually prefer the lights either down low in the valance like a 935 (like the DP935 above) or as pop-ups.

I'm not a fan of this look with the lights in the bumper.

Yes, it's amazing that you remember that. It's like a light soft wood.

I love mine. I get more thumbs up in that car than all the rest of my cars put together.

[WPOZZZ]

My FrankenPorsche. Kinda sorta.

Slant nose was my dream car back in the 80's. Still have a picture hanging on my office wall from back then

Yes all aluminum body. This one was actually built for the Japanese market then imported to the USA. All interior script I could see in it was in German, less a couple of jamb stickers that were in Japanese, assuming required for original import. Porsche only built 10 of them and this is #5. I am not sure any of these were originally built for the US market.

I love the Slant Nose. Always have...always will.
