In 1975, Porsche released its first production turbo-charged 911 and the world was changed forever. Well, perhaps it wasn’t that dramatic. The 930, as it was also known, remained in production worldwide until 1989, though US production ceased from 1980 to 1986 due to emissions regulations. Aesthetically it remained largely unchanged throughout its model run. The greatest change came in 1978 when displacement was increased from 3.0 liters to 3.3 liters, and then in its final model year the car was switched to the 5-speed G50 transmission (all previous years utilized a 4-speed manual transmission). For many Porschephiles, the 930 remains a hallowed car; the first car that really began to set our hearts afire through its aggressive styling and brutal wars with the laws of physics. Quite simply it is fantastic! The example featured here has undergone two major transformations from its original nature as a 1976 Porsche 930: first, the original 3.0 liter turbocharged flat-6 has been replaced with the 3.3 liter motor of the post-1978 930. Second, at some point this was converted to a Slantnose, a factory option that was unavailable during this car’s original production year.

A 930 Slantnose Coupe is one of my favorite looking cars of all time. Everything about it works for me and here it looks stunning in Red with Black trim. In that regard, I don’t mind the lack of originality, nor do I mind that this car has the later 3.3 liter engine. This car will never see the insane prices for which some pristine original 930s are capable of selling, but that’s ok. And the seller recognizes that fact because the Buy It Now, while not low, is not set stupidly high either. This is a fairly-priced car all things considered. With that said, there are certainly a number of things that any prospective buyer will want to understand with regard to the engine swap and the Slantnose conversion, but if the details of those projects are readily available and the car comes through with a good PPI, then I’d think this would make for a fine 930 to use as a driver.

Did the european models have those same ugly bumper “accordions”? If not, one of these would be fun to import from overseas as they’re well past the 25 year mark.
All received the accordion (bumper bellows), The difference is the size of the rear bumper-ettes. The MOW cars had thinner vs bigger rubber bumper-ettes of the US cars.
A fake is a fake. If you can’t afford it, don’t pretend like you can.
