This car provides a nice contrast with yesterday’s Ruf BTR. While the Ruf wasn’t completely original, and thus a bit less expensive than we might expect, it still provides captivating performance that any standard 930 would struggle to replicate. It also was quite a bit cheaper than the car we see here. Each illustrates the unique variety available in the ’80s when it seemed as if automotive excess was really beginning to hit its stride. The Slantnose, derived from the Porsche 935 racer, was offered as a factory option for the 930 through Porsche’s Sonderwunsch Programm beginning in 1981. They have developed a very love/hate following among current enthusiasts, but their strength on the market seems fairly secure. As the 930 in general continues to rise in value, these rare variants lead the way commanding significant premiums over the standard model.

We’ve come across a decent number of low-mileage examples of the 930 Slantnose so it appears there were quite a few owners who decided early on that these cars would spend their lives in the garage. Like most of those this one appears in the sort of condition that we’d expect and the addition of the sports seats is always a nice perk. It definitely would be worthwhile to investigate the reason this car had its quarter panel repainted to insure it was, indeed, purely for cosmetic reasons. I am counted in the group that has a particular fondness for a 930 Slantnose Coupe. They aren’t subtle by any means, but they fall within the category of the poster car and really nice ones always send a little shiver up my spine. That’s really what this car and the Ruf BTR are about. They are excessive, in appearance and in performance, though each to its own particular degree.

I dont think the 505 cars command much of a premium if any these days. The rising tide has lifted all boats and a good clean low miles 930 like this one has roughly doubled in price and more over the past 12 to 18 months. There was a time when I would have opted for the 505 package but times change.
I am not a slant nose fan at all but these cars are clearly white hot at the moment. As an aside, the seller Alex Wald is well know over on Rennlist and Pelican, and not in a good way. Google “Alex Velocity Motors” and there will be plenty to read.
