Anyone ever heard of a '72 model like this before ?...

A friend of mine owns #11 79 930, he was provided with a letter from Porsche stating the first 10 were crash tested and his would of been the first US 79 930. Don't know when this started.

The first 10 VIN's were reserved beginning with 1970 model year. A few we know about were earlier cars that were renumbered; primarily updated race cars. How many of these VIN's that were actually used is unknown, and the purposes for which the cars were used is also not known. Some could have been used for crash testing though.

. . . believe it is a 1972 car and believe it is the 11th one built when they decided to change the VIN from the 1971 VIN's to the 1972 VIN's . . .

. . . had at least three coats of paint, original color was a special order I think, a pink red, never could decode the paint plate, I asked on Pelican, nobody could figure it out . . .

Any üpdates on this car?



Wild color!

"My temptation is to build it into an ST with a short stroke 2.5 motor, put on steel arches but keep the Fraise colour and maybe even the sporto box "

nick - i say go for it, that would be a killer car for london traffic

Happy to report that's pretty much what I'm doing with the car I ended up with: short stroke 2.5, keeping the Sporto box. Also going to keep it narrow bodied, however.
