BHCC may have a decent 930 for sale

[1979-930]

I normally see junk for top dollar from these guys. But this one looks like a decent buy. The condition and miles seem to fit. The paint looks original. The front looks to have minor damage in the bumper and valance area. And there is what looks like a weld burn in the left front Frunk area. Maybe a oil cooler was added improperly? What am I missing?

Mandatory thorough PPI with these guys. Risk means 's**t happens' or 'good luck'

That short, thick weld on the right front, that you mentioned, is very odd - wonder what's up with that?

No belt on the a/c compressor, so no way to tell how fubared the system is (other than the fact that it still has the York compressor - fubared right there in terms of weight, vibration and engine power consumption).

That model year still has the lame, and low quality dash - looks like the top is severely warped in pics.

Ouch. Kick me right in the dash.

That was an unintended dash shot, Derrick - pretty bad when I sling shart and didn't even mean to!!!

Wow, a real stunner there....
These guys and decent don't belong in the same sentence.


Besides the 25+ issues clearly seen in their out of focus pictures, what ever numbskull put this car on the hoist needs to be questioned. Look at the rear lift arms... it probably fell off the lift, which might explain the bent lower panels.

What's up with the hole cut in the pan to run a cable (boost gauge?) into the cockpit?
That's a new hack job I've never seen.
Who ever put it on the lift just dropped 10k off the value. I'm sure up close it's likely a turd.

Bet it's been at a salvage yard, where they move cars with long forks like this



From front underside damage you can see where they placed the forks. They do it all the time, even for stolen recovered's and driveable cars, easy to move cars about in and out. For most cars if you do it carefully there is no damage at all, perhaps just little dime-sized marks on wishbones from where forks touched.

Yes it is a rough 930, but will make a good car with a little work.

I've been to BHCC quite a bit - to check out cars for buyers - local and non-local. Pan damage would have happened elsewhere. They are pretty careful with cars. Their business model has changed. I've seen a few engines being overhauled on site. Do not assume anything about functionality, engine originality, etc. I've seen in person paint separation that you can only see standing next to the car; rust bubbling in unheard-of places... There is a reason these cars are sold to BHCC instead of a local buyer for more money.
