The Porsche 930 Turbo was given substantial changes for the 1978 model year. A new 3.3L version of the turbo engine was introduced that gave 265hp in North America spec with the addition of an air-to-air intercooler and a 7.0:1 compression ratio. A new rear spoiler, known as the 'tea tray' replacing the 'whale tale' was also added providing considerably more downforce at high speeds. 0-60mph was now available in 5.0 sec., 0-100 in 11.9sec, and a top speed of over 160mph. Also tires were widened and larger brakes that were developed for the 917 race car, and were shown on the 1975 prototype, greatly improving the stopping power. This revised and improved Porsche Turbo car went to model year 1979 and then discontinued for the North America Market until 1986 due to EPA regulations. The early Porsche Turbos are in high demand for collectors and welcomed in all major concours throughout the world.
This particular Turbo on offer is a USA delivered car new to Rusnak Porsche-Audi in Pasadena, Ca. The first owner was a Dr. Jerry Malleus who lived in S. California. He maintained the car to perfection for nearly 16 years driving the car for only 3,125 miles! The car sold to another Porsche aficionado who lived in Spokane, Wa. He retained the car for 4 years and then sold it in August of 1998 showing just over 8,400 miles to the last and final owner who resides in Washington State. This owner showed the car in numerous PCA Concours and provided lavish care for the next 16 years driving the car for only additional 2,165 miles! He kept the car in a climate controlled garage and took loving care of the car which is in evidence of the car and its condition today.
Paint and Interior are as new and the only modifications to the car were the removal of the USA thermal reactors (included in the sale of the car) and the period popular polishing of all four wheels on the car. Showing absolutely no signs of any accident damage the car is still prepared for National level concours or spirited driving.
Original C.O.A. and all paperwork/service records accompany the sale of the car including a copy of the original window sticker. A full service is in the process at the local Authorized Porsche Dealership here in Carmel so the car needs nothing other than a new and spirited owner.
Finding low mileage original Porsches, especially Turbo Porsches, is becoming more and more difficult so therefore being in very high demand for collectors and enthusiasts around the world. They are now eligible and welcome in the majority of all concours events internationally.
Please contact me for further information regarding the purchase. I look forward in hearing from you.
