1984 Porsche 911 Turbo

I’m going to turn my attention to another modified 911, though this time one that has moved in an entirely different direction than the RSR backdate featured earlier this week. This 911 also should come with a much more reasonable price tag. At least, that is the hope and should be the case barring some extremely aggressive bidding on this auction. There’s kind of a lot to review here so let’s get to it: here we have a 911 that began its life as a 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe fitted with the M491 Turbo-look package. It is very well traveled having covered a reported 236,211 miles over its life. At some point (we can probably assume recently, but the seller does not say when) the Turbo-look moniker became more than just appearance as the engine and transmission from a 930 were fitted. Again, we don’t have precise details on the engine; there is some suggestion that it is actually the engine from a 3.3 liter 964 Turbo, but again we lack some clarity. Given the mileage I assume this 911 has also been painted and the interior refreshed (or perhaps redone altogether). I’m not sure about the name of this exterior color, but it looks quite good. The interior I’d guess is Cork and it too looks in really nice shape. There are a host of other small aesthetic changes to both the exterior and interior, but other than the wheels, which I don’t care much for, most of these additions are minor and could be changed without issue should someone so desire. Those are the details, and the questions all come down to the engine, transmission, and body.

As should be clear from everything above, there are a lot of questions needing answers here and given the nature of any auction like this that’s going to make this 911 difficult to access properly in the time allowed. It is located in Palm Desert, California and I would imagine the interested audience will be limited to those in the near vicinity who can get a look at it in the flesh or those who know someone who could handle such things. It looks in good shape with a really nice color combo and if everything has been done properly it should perform quite well too. As stated above, ideally it can be had at a nice price. Regarding that price, bidding has reached $40,201, which is beginning to enter territory where I might lose interest, but it’s certainly not insanely high given the price of an actual 930. Nonetheless, I do think this 911 should be worth further investigation.

    so if I understand the disjointed description..
    what we have here is a 911 Carrera with the M491 Wide-Body (930 look), that was then converted to a 930 with the engine from a 964?…is that correct??.
    if so…WHY?….a M491 is a great car in and of itself….

    Frankinporsche… Unfortunately this car has been well shopped around the Porsche community and we still dont have many of the real details on the car. The wheels are a poor choice but are a snap to correct. The Devil is in the details and we dont get to know them. It would have to be pretty inexpensive compared to a real 930 even one in “driver” condition for me to get involved with it.
