1983 Porsche 930 Special Wishes Slant NoseVIN: WP0ZZZ93DS000695Engine: 67D0722Mileage: 38. 00Location: Loma Linda. CA (about 1 hour from LAX)Pictures: https://plus. google. com/photos/102381976421756816409/albums/6071049766188936401This is a numbers matching. investment grade vehicle that you can still really enjoy driving. I will be driving it to the SoCal All-Porsche Swap & Car Display in Aneheim on Sunday the 8th. Please contact me if you wish to examine the car at the event. I am a lifelong Porsche enthusiast who buys. enjoys. then sells unique 911s occasionally (1 or 2 per year) as a part of my hobby. Here are links to the two 911s I sold last year: 1976 930 Copper Brown with Tartan plaid interior1966 911 Slate Gray with Red interior featured in Excellence MagazineVehicle HistoryMy 930 slant nose was invoiced in March of 1983 and delivered to Mahag Porsche in Munich. The EPA and DOT paperwork indicate that Bruce Canepa imported my car in January of 1985. I’ve spoken with Bruce about my car. and he asked me if the rear spoiler grill and rear air intake slats were painted body color (they are). He added these touches to the factory slant noses he imported as well as body colored wheel discs for the BBS wheels. Bruce then pointed me to a car he had recently sold that he imported for racer Rick Mears around the same time as mine which had very similar Special Wishes work done to the exterior and interior: http://www. canepacollection. com/detail-1985-porsche-911-turbo_slantnose-used-11725640. htmlBruce does not recall whom he imported the car for. and I do not have any records (other than Carfax info) before the previous owner who has owned it since 2000. The previous owner was a perfectionist when it came to maintaining the car’s appearance and mechanics. but only put about 4. 00 miles on it during his ownership. I have enjoyed driving it for the past six months. About the Special Wishes Slant NoseThe Special Wishes factory slant noses made before the official option package M505 and M506 in 1987 were very interesting to me. They were made to order for Porsche’s weaIthiest clients. and usually contained a lot of “cost-no-object” customizations. I did a lot of research on the Special Wishes slant noses. OK I was obsessed with them! I obtained very rare Special Wishes brochures. books. and magazine articles and learned everything I could about them. The downside to the pre-1987 M505/506 slant noses is that the factory kept no records of the work done. so it will not show up on the Kardex build sheets or the Certificate of Authenticity. This is because the Special Wishes work was invoiced as a work order by the Werk I repair workshop. not a line item on the Kardex build sheet like the M505/506 slants. Most owners did not keep these invoices. so one must look at other paperwork and body features for telltales of a Special Wishes slant. For more info. review this thread on Pelican Parts which contains a wealth of knowledgeI compiled everything I’ve learned. and scanned the period articles and brochures. into a . pdf file downloadable here. InteriorFeatures from Special WishesCashmere full leather covered interior. including:upper and lower dashignition key rosettesteering column covercenter consoleheater control boxround door lock platessun visorsdoor panels and arm restsall rear upholstered panels. Center Console with VDO outside temperature gauge and clock (with 1983 date codes). plus A/C and fan dials. Factory Rootwood dash measuring ¼” thick (see pics). Rootwood door handles on each side. I have not been able to verify if Special Wishes supplied these. but they are of very high quality so I would not be surprised. VDO boost gauge with maximum boost indicator needle. which can be reset with a special key. This replaced the clock next to the speedometer. Early 930S Steering wheel by Italvolanti with raised hub. date coded 2/1983 (another clue that the slantnose work was done at the time of manufacture)Original cashmere carpet is in excellent condition. and is representative of the low mileage and care given to it. A set of cashmere Lloyds “Turbo” floor mats are included. Original Blaupunkt cassette deck is includedPower windows work greatAll gauges are functional and have correct date stamps except the speedometer. which is dated 1984. The speedometer was changed to MPH when imported to the USA in January 1985. Headliner is in excellent conditionThe previous owner had the sport seats and dash top recovered in Porsche OE quality genuine leather upon purchase in 2000. Work was performed by Tony Garcia. then working at Autos International. known to be the best restorer of Porsche upholstery. Receipt included. As noted in the PPI by Powerhaus. the original seats were in good shape but showed some wear (typical for Cashmere). and the outer beading was worn. so the previous owner had them reupholstered to make them perfect. Body930s The underbody. rocker panels. and fender wells still have all of the original undercoating. and the excellent condition confirms the low mileage of the car. Original Special Wishes paint to sample color. Paint gauge shows two layers of paint (original plus respray). no filler on any part of the body. The paint is in excellent condition and shines beautifully. The body was inspected by Powerhaus when the previous owner purchased the car in 2000. and was found to have no accident damage (see PPI report). Car has 5000 miles since then and still has no evidence of accident damage. Every window. door and body seal were replaced with new in 2001 (have reciept). All of the slant nose body work indicates a Special Wishes produced slant nose. No slats behind the headlights. This was done on only a very few Special Wishes slants. No evidence of welding insert panels on the underside of the steel front fenders. Round popup headlight system from the 944. Single 944 headlight motor. mounted in the center under the hood latch. rotating both headlights via a large rod. The mounts used to attach the 944 Headlight rod. and the through-fender bearings are Porsche Special Wishes parts. Uses factory wire harness and relay board for headlight motor. Shock supports appear factory quality. not cut and welded to make room for the headlight buckets. Jack extensions welded to the rockersRearmost edge of the rear air intake follows the curve of the wheelwell opening. BBS 3 piece 15x7 and 15x9 wheels with "uprated" suspension.

Limited edition Special Wishes/Exclusive 25th Anniversary book from the Porsche Museum.

California Smog compliance paperwork from 2000. There are no records prior to 2000 other than the EPA and DOT importation documents. however. the Carfax shows regular mileage increases in the 1990s. Photos of the car from 2000 when the previous owner purchased it. PPI results from Powerhaus from when the previous owner purchased it in 2000. verifying that it checked out as a low miles factory slantnose with the 330hp power kit parts. and that it had no accident damage. Records of parts purchased and installed during my ownership. MechanicalThis 930 runs. shifts. and drives as you would expect from a low mile. well maintained example. Starts and idles great. no grinding in any gears. boost comes on smooth and strong. Original numbers matching "power kit" engine (cost $16. 95 extra!) and limited slip transmission. Showed good leakdown numbers at the PPI in 2000. In preparation for power upgrades. the engine was disassembled and resealed with new head studs in 2000. Have photos and receipts of the work done at Powerhaus. Upgraded by Powerhaus to K29 turbo. full bay intercooler. and Powerhaus stainless steel heat exchangers and muffler to run safely at 1 bar of boost. See receipts for other work done by Powerhaus. All the parts to convert it back to the Special Wishes 330hp "power kit" were kept and are included (see photos). with the lone exception of the #7006 K27 turbo itself which are readily available. Air conditioner does not work. It is still R12 but has an upgraded rotary compressor. Needs conversion to R134A.

You may subject the car to a Pre Purchase Inspection (flatbedded both ways at your expense to a reputable Porsche specialist shop within 60 miles) within 3 days after winning. You may cancel your purchase if the PPI reveals anything major that I did not already disclose in the auction and I will re-list the car. Payment by wire transfer or cashiers check only. Title will be given immediately upon payment. but funds must clear my bank before the car leaves my possession. I have sold cars overseas before (I have references) and will be happy to work with foreign buyers. I may be able to deliver the car to one of the export companies at the port of Long Beach.
