Ok, many of those on this board know me and probably a lot has to do with this car. In fact, sometimes it feels like you get so close to these toys that they become part of your identity (I know it's sick).
Anyway, I've had this car for about 4 years which is probably tha a record for me. And, almost everything I have is usually for sale... I just don't actively pursue selling some of my toys because I get a bit attached. However, I am actually motivating to sell this car. It really is something special to me and I have put a lot of money and effort into this car. However, a unique opportunity has come for me to get something else that you will hopefully hear about soon enough.
Over the years, many of you have contacted me about selling the car and I wasn't really interested. Now is your chance to do so. I will be listing it on ebay today as well because it seems to attract the international market where most of my cars have been going lately. These buyers act quickly and usually snap up my cars before the auction ends. So, if you are serious, please call me right away. I will always give a fellow Early S or R Gruppe member priority.
I will consider serious offers over $80,000 U.S.
Thanks.
Paul

Less than 10,000 miles since complete restoration.

Well documented records and history.
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 racecar icons . There are many unusual details on this turbo that are done with the highest level of quality.
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:

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.
