Mr. Mocker, would you like pictorial evidence of non-droopage, as well?!?! Nice, butt take care - pNutz is the jealous type! :eek:

Seriously .....

that looks ridiculous if it's in fact born like that from the factory.

That 930 won at the 2015 porsche parade.

I’m not sure but there are a lot of early 930s with the sloping down bumper.

Bumper bellows look messed with in some of the previous photos.. Hood gap off on some also. Those judges need to look closer to restoration details. If not original and restored they seldom look like original and many restored ones I have checked out but did not buy, do not drive that great either. My thoughts are if not original everything when built @ the factory it's not museum original anymore so enjoy using it.

My only thoughts are a museum quality 930 is going to be $175,000 to $200,000

You know a museum level 1989 M505 cabriolet sold at bonhams for $456,000

Interesting. I never knew there is a slight slope in the front bumper. Here's another example: https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/MO18/Monterey/lots/r0016-1979-porsche-911-turbo/681157

That was actually an ‘88, and believe it or not - it’s a flip! :eek::eek::eek:

So is there really a slight slope on 930 bumpers from the factory? I would really like to know the answer.

Only on the ones assembled by techs that were either hung over, drunk on the job, or had voted to include the various browns and puke greens as Porsche color options.

The bumper shocks only fit one way and the bumper attaches to it. Everything fits straight. In my opinion it is the bumper bellows that give the illusion of a slope.

I’ve dealt with this and was asked to correct it before. With all adjustments maxed out it is still not level. Holes need to be enlarged and other minor modifications to get bumper to be level but it’s completely doable

Thanks, my mind was seriously being tricked. Now that I study the pics...

Ditto. I have been able to get mine closer to flat, but the slight downward slope is still there.
I have not enlarged any holes yet. <-- Slow pitch for ya Raw. :D

It requires a special tool to do that, and not everyone is so equipped (poor them)! :eek:
