1978 Porsche 930 RSR/934 Re-creation

$This is a rare opportunity to own an incredibly special car with a fantastic history for a fraction of the price. This car was an unrestored concours original 1978 930 with only 4,500 miles in a storage facility in Nevada up until 7 years ago when an accomplished fabricator who had worked with Dan Gurney got hold of the car. This 930 was then transformed into a tribute to ‘70s Porsche race car icons . There are many unusual details on this turbo that are done with the highest level of quality. Originally, this 930 was delivered in Cashmere Beige. We had it in a “pink-pig” style livery to soften the blow of such a strange color. However, after many years, we had to do a change. So, we had the car stripped down to the bare metal and repainted factory Leaf Green. As some of you know, this color and code is no longer available and very tough to match. So, we got the help of the best…John Wilhoit of 356 fame. John was able to provide us with a perfect paint sample match. (note: John did not paint the car). The only part of the car that has the original Cashmere Beige is the frame rails of the engine compartment. We thought we should show what it once was. Furthermore, the car just went through a complete service by the father and son team of Tony and Marco at TLG Auto ( HYPERLINK "http://www.TLGAuto.com" www.TLGAuto.com). They are very familiar with the current condition of the car and can give anyone an honest opinion of how nice this car really is. Recently (August 2004), the car was a feature cover story in Excellence magazine. I have copies of the article I can email to you. Excellence wrote a 5-page article that goes in depth with the builder of the car and his motivations/thought process in developing this beast. Furthermore, 911 & Porsche World magazine just featured this car in a their latest issue. All in all, this car has appeared in over a dozen magazines as well as several TV shows. Well over $120,000 has been invested into this car in just the past couple of years. And, much of the work was hand fabricated by the prior owner with no specific dollar figure assigned to his time and expertise. Here is a list of all the details/work done to the car: Body/Exterior: Filled in mirror holes, sunroof, antennae hole Custom fit 934 front and rear flares RSR rear bumpers 934 custom front bumper with splitter RSR Oil Cooler with cut out in engine area to fit RSR trunk floor Custom fabricated duck tail to fit over 930 intercooler Concours level repaint that was color sanded Custom aluminum 917 centerlock wheels with custom centerlock adapters 911R plexiglass rear side windows Plexiglass rear windows with custom WWII fighter plane vents Personalized California blue plate “Mad Kuh” Vintage F1 style side mirrors RSR license plate lights Interior: Completely redone New RSR style bucket seats with custom sliding brackets RSR lightweight carpet kit Backdated door locks RS lightweight door panels with custom speaker perforation and leather wrapped handles Delete back seats Rear speakers hidden under carpet covered parcel shelf Custom RSR roll bar Custom matching Coco floor mats Delete center console, heater box to give an earlier look Momo Prototipo steering wheel Hard wired V1 radar detector (V1 not included) Hard wired Ipod connector to Factory Blaupunkt stereo Suspension/Brakes: New 917 floating brake rotors and Mintex pads 935 monoball coilover suspension Corner balanced and alignment by Johnson Alignment Dry weight is 2,565 lbs New control arms New upper and lower shock mounts New spring plates New Bilstein shocks Engine/Exhaust: Twin plug conversion by Andial: Updated Tensioner Kit New injection lines New cam and oil lines Intake manifold work Cylinder head work Valve job Modify scavenger pump New sport valve springs Port and polish intakes Cut valve seats Bore intake blocks to 36mm Bore Plenum to 36mm Ollies rocker arms Powdercoat fan Further engine/turbo work by Vision Motorsports: 964 cams New custom Borla exhaust New BTR clutch and pressure plate Modify wastegate Devlar head studs Kolken ceramic bearing turbo Passes California’s strict smog test Runs on 91 octane. The motor is detuned to 0.5 bar of boost. Designed to run at 1.1 bar of boost. Even so, the car recently dyno tested at 315hp and 287 lb ft of torque to the rear wheels. At full boost, estimated crank hp is nearly 500hp!! As you can tell, a lot of time, thought, and money went into this 930. It is a very special car with a well-documented history. It is a true head turner. This R Gruppe hot rod is becoming very well known in the Porsche world. Here are a few comments from people in the Early Porsche community who are very familiar with me and the car...enjoy: This car of Paul's has been a 'show stopper' in our community since it's 'debut' at the Concorso about 6 years ago by the fabricator who built it… We were all amazied at the detail...  In Paul's care it's been reliable enough to attend almost every early 911 event in SoCal, Central Coast, and NorCal for about the last five years....  AND, it's fast enough to pass me like I'm tied to a tree... ... and I go pretty damn hard ...   So there'ya'go....  Cheers, and luck on the sale Paul.... This post is from Marco at TLG who has performed service on the car: I have quite a bit of personal experience with Paul's car - both from the driver's seat as well as under the hood.  First and foremost, the workmanship on the car is pretty f-in fantastic; it's got old-school Andial written all over the engine compartment. The time I spent in the engine compartment was for routine service work; aside from needing a tune-up the worst thing I found was a couple of hose clamps facing the wrong direction. It has been my experience that Turbo cars (in particular hot rod turbo cars) are usually pretty bastardized and tend to suffer from being put together in a ham-fisted manner with no attention to detail or ease of maintenance ... THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS CAR. Everything with this car was as it should be - clean, neat and servicable - and it was A PLEASURE TO WORK ON.  The view from the driver's seat tells the other side of the story - the car handles like no other 930 I've driven ... by that I mean that it's on rails. The suspension is very well set up and there's so much tire (read:grip) that the car goes around corners like something half its size. Once you get used to how the car makes boost it's so easy to drive fast that it's almost like cheating. My only complaint is that the car is limited to .5 bar of boost; that's like showing me a 16oz filet and then serving up a McDonalds burger ... just plain mean. If this thing were allowed a full 1.0 bar (or even the factory .8 bar) it would be BLINDINGLY fast ... as it sits it's merely blisteringly quick. In its current state of tune this runnning gear will outlast the Sun ... it's totally unstressed, very powerful and stone-reliable.  Here's the bottom line: This is a SERIOUS turbo car that's VERY WELL BUILT and has ALL THE GOODIES. The current price is a HUGE DISCOUNT ... you couldn't build this car with these parts for anything near the asking price.  Personally, I think Paul's an idiot for wanting to sell the car ... but who am I to pass judgement?
