Should be INSANE fast... 1989 Porsche 930 S Slantnose Turbo black The original title of this automobile shows it to be a one-owner vehicle.

69Sman..
Nice find dude.. I want to say I've seen that car before on the market but not 100% sure. Wheels said OZ in the ad but they look like Alesio by Speedline. Good luck with the PPI And you have a PM Paul

Paul - the car was listed and did not meet reserve on ebay a few years back, and was also advertised a few other places so perhaps you did see it. I was lucky to be the first to call the current owner, courtesy of a fellow Pelicanite who let me know that the car was available. Thanks again Scott!!

There have been a lot of questions as to what I paid. I really don't want the thread to degenerate into a (always opinionated) VALUE thread. I think it was commensurate with market value for a low mileage '89 with Factory SN option and some VERY expensive mods that would be impossible to duplicate for anywhere NEAR the price. The seller thought he left money on the table, and I thought I paid a little too much - so it was probably perfect.... Many thansk to Scott (pauvalon) for pointing me to the car which was never advertised.

Update
Hi Steve, YES!! I got it back from TLG a few days ago. Funny thing, literally EVERYTHING worked. Very nice. I needed new tires (18" Speedlines, 335/30's in back = LOTS of $$$$$), fluid change(s), just minor stuff and the thing ROCKS. I've never owned a Turbo before and I LOVE this car. It's SICK fast. WAY faster then my (now gone) GT3. I can putt around town and it's a little kitten....until 4000rpm. When it's on boost, it's amazing. Adjustable to 1.6 bars. I also spoke to the guys who did the mods (MODE) in Arizona, and altho the work was done in '90-'91 they remember the car. Anyway, the bottom line is: I'm hooked....
OH yea, I'll try and take some pics this afternoon and post 'em....

Beautiful car!
1.6 bar?! Have fun, but watch that dial-a-death boost knob! |

Like everyone said, nice car!
Just don't get too greedy turning up the boost. May I suggest to put your car on a dyno with a wideband so you'll know what its safe boost limit is? Until then I'd stay below 1 bar or even .9 bar.
