1978 930 FOr Sale

I'm putting my 1978 930 up for sale so I can resurrect my race car.

This car was owned and prepared by Michael Benet of ImaginAuto. It makes 440 HP at the crankshaft and 373 at the rear wheels. Michael christened it "Big Bad". I considered renaming it to "Holy ~&%@$^!#)(*, Batman" but that seemed undignified.

The list of mods is extensive, so I'll forward it as a word doc to interested parties.

The car is Grand Prix White with red leather interior.

I'm selling the car, a set of Kumho Victoracers (unused) and an electronic boost controller that I never got around to installing. (with this much HP it didn't seem urgent).

The car is in San Jose, CA and just passed it's first California emissions test today.

One suggestion as it appears you are new to here-
Copy and paste the contents of the word doc here and save yourself the hassle of having to do it umpteen times to individuels who WILL ask you for it.
There are plenty of keen Turbo searchers currently here lurking including ME!
Price and details, plus more pics PLEASE!
Ben

Exactly the reason Noah has to ban all comments in these for sale posts . Leave the ad alone . Or email him your offer directly . His starting price seems fair to me . It says "asking $31k" not firm.

Good luck selling it. My 993 is an ex-Benet car too. Bought it in near mint condition two years ago. I'll buy another one from Michael in a heartbeat.

1978 930 "Big Bad" For Sale

This is Michael Benet's personal car, Big Bad. Engine work was driven by Michael to the best of my knowledge.

However, I suspect that it was a joint effort between Steven & Michael.

Best of luck...I am sure it will go, damn.......
