1979 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera Coupe Listed on behalf of Monte Shelton Motors Located in PORTLAND, OREGON. VIN: 9309800336 Engine Number: 6890250 Transmission Number: 7790679 This 1979 Porsche 911 ("930") Turbo Coupe was produced in December of 1978 and sold new by Carrera Motors in Bend, Oregon. The original owner lived in the small town of Sisters, Oregon and revered the car, keeping it parked in his living room. He rarely drove it, preferring to admire it inside of his home. In a financial downturn in 1983, he sold it to a gentleman in Portland, Oregon who kept it for the next 33 years (although not in his living room!) He recently made the car available and it is now being offered for sale. The car is numbers-matching with a certificate of authenticity from Porsche. The current mileage of 20,400 is correct and verified by the file of service records that accompany the car. Over the past 30+ years it has been maintained by the same Porsche specialists. Outside of oil changes, belts, batteries, wiper blades and other minor maintenance items, this car is original throughout. The Minerva Blue Metallic paint is as it left the factory 37 years ago. Other than a few very minor touch ups on the nose, (no doubt from driving on gravel roads in central Oregon during the first few years of its life, and barely show in photographs) the paint is completely original and impeccable. The interior is incredible. Factory-fresh, orignal "cork" colored leather, reflecting its storage indoors from day-one. The carpets look as-new. A non-smoking car, it smells fresh with no mildew or odors. All of the rubber is excellent (and original) again attesting to the quality of storage. All accessories work, including the original Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo cassette player. The factory air conditioning blows cold. Mechanically, this 930 is excellent. Again, it has always been serviced by the same Porsche specialists throughout much of its life. It runs and drives without fault, as would be expected of a perfectly maintained, 20,000 mile car. Great power and when the Turbo kicks-in you get that distinctive sound that is unmistakably "930." Shifts easily. Stops smooth and straight. Truly as good as new (because it nearly is.) The undercarriage is exceptionally clean and shows no signs of damage. Needless to state (but I will) the floorpan is original. Please see photos. Includes original owners manual, service receipts and ownership records, original factory tool kit, fitted "bra" for the nose of the car, original floor mats. I can state without hesitation that this is one of the finest, original 930's available today. "They are only original once" is really true, and in this case, the care of the car throughout its life shows. If you are seriously interested in this car I would suggest you see it in-person. Bring any Porsche expert in the world with you. They will be impressed. A reserve has been placed on this car in keeping with its quality, originality and low actual miles. It cannot be duplicated by any restored car. Please bid accordingly. WE WILL HAPPILY SELL TO BIDDERS, WORLDWIDE. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS, SHOWN BELOW THE LISTING.
