What to look for when buying a Porsche 930?
I need a guide from you guys
The car is a 1976 turbo look

[Steve@Rennsport]

Is this a factory '76 930 or a 911S thats had 930 flares welded on?

Check the VIN.

[Fatandre]

It should be factory.
What would it be called in the vin if its factory?

Porsche did not make any Turbo-look cars in '76 which is why I recommended looking at the VIN to see what you have.

Read that off to me and I can tell you whether its a real 930 or an aftermarket job.

[Fatandre]

I will then ask the seller for the vin and send it to you

[Steve@Rennsport]

Don't make ANY commitments to the seller until this number is verified on several places on the car!!!

Due to the high value of a '76 930, the amount of fraud is now staggering.

[Fatandre]

930 is a turbocar, right?
This is a turbo look car

[Steve@Rennsport]

930's are turbocharged; Turbo-look cars are not. Further, there are MANY chassis, engine and transmission differences, too.

The factory never made a Turbo-look car in '76 so this may not be a factory built car. if thats the case, you don't want to pay too much $$$$ for something that may not be done very well.

You would never believe the junk I've seen in 40+ years at this.

[Fatandre]

maybe its just better to save up for a better car.
This is the case for 17k euro

[emac]

That's not a turbo

[Steve@Rennsport]

Ernie is right.

Thats the kind of thing I was talking about. Its a "Frankenstein" comprised of a collection of old and new parts and likely, its worth the sum of its parts.

Unless you have very deep pockets, I would not pay very much for this car as it has all the potential to wind up costing a LOT of money.

Now I have seen it all. Scary place with presumably scary cars.

That's $20,018 USD. Average price for mid condition '76 coupe is... shall we say $17,000. For Concourse condition, maybe $35,000. I'd say once modified from stock as that definitely is, resale value takes nose dive. Only someone enamored with modifications will pay for them. FAT, if you love that look... buy it for whatever (I'd offer 8,000 euro as it appears in photos) and enjoy it.
