  The example on offer here, is a 1988 Porsche 930 Turbo which was produced for the North American market. It is a well ordered and delivered wearing Paint to Sample Diamond Blue Metallic paint (F5) over Marine Blue Leather with Leatherette red Beltline upholstery (TP). A rare and seldom seen combination, very unique, which only adds to this vehicles design features and curb appeal. This vehicle has had the stewardship of three owners, covering a mere 48K miles since its delivery in April of 1988. However, there should be emphasis placed on this fact- the car presents inside out and underneath as an extremely well kept example, in the care of a meticulous stewards with all of the right little items pertaining to its care indicative of proper ownership. Service documentation shows thousands in maintenance over the years intrinsic to the proper operation of this performance automobile. Additionally, it is accompanied by a clean CARFAX and clean Autocheck.

  Cosmetically, this car shows very well. The unique paint-to-sample color is rarely seen and most of it appears to be original throughout. Through a visual inspection, we feel that the front of the car including the doors is most certainly original paint along with the rear deck lid and roof. However, we have noticed that the rear quarters have had some paint work and through confirmation via use of a paint meter have figured out that there was a dent that was tended to which required paint work and so both s were done to match and blended. The work completed was incredibly well done as there are no noted tape lines or remnants of the work completed at all. Unless one knows exactly what to look for and is likely educated on the matter, there is virtually no way to figure it out. Otherwise, the only other blemishes noted are 3-4 small chips that were touched up on the passenger quarter, and a small chip on the drivers door edge. Of which, both are absolutely not worth tending to and hardly noticeable. Otherwise, the car is dead straight down the sides with perfect gaps, rubber, and related trim. The glass is free of any imperfections, and overall the car is excellent with a very consistent presentation that could be considered show worthy.

  Upon entering the interior, the jams give evidence to the care and cleanliness that the rest of the car boasts. The jams are very clean with no signs of any issues of any kind, original stickers, finishes, and hardware still present throughout. The seats and other parts of the interior are a version of Dark Blue with the Red piping provides a fantastic contrast. The interior overall is superb with no noted blemishes retaining consistent patina for that of a low 48K mile example, though it could easily pass for a lot less. All of the surfaces, panels, carpets, dash fascia/top, rear shelf, headliner and other surfaces are all consistently in excellent condition. No flaws of any kind can be noted and the consistency matches that of the rest of the car/interior to the effect of matching the mileage. The only item noted that is perhaps out of place from being correct per factory standards whilst still being period correct is the addition of a K40 Radar system along with an aftermarket radio head unit. All of the knobs, switches, pulls and accessories are in correct working order and function as they should including the seats, gauges, lighting and other items. There are no real complaints to be made and overall the interior is representative of both the mileage and a very well cared for car.

  Consistency continues in the front trunk where one can find a nearly untouched environment from new. All of the factory markings, spot welds, stickers and coatings are all still in place giving way to the fact that this car has never been rusty or involved in any sort of accident. The spare, jack, tools, compressor, plastic gloves etc are all as they were on day one. The only exception or modification to the front trunk is the addition of a 6-disc CD-Changer that has been added. This is easily removable and from our inspection there was no modifications made that will affect originality. The underside of the hood still shows its original options sticker and cadmium plated items throughout still have an uninhibited finish on them. Overall, the front trunk shows as one would expect in a well preserved 930.

  The engine bay is clean overall, matching the mileage, with signs of use and service over the years but without modification or unjustified wear. The previous PPI has shown excellent compression and leakdown numbers, and the vehicles performance is indicative of that. Again, as with the rest of the car, it is easily show worthy, highly correct and well cared for. It shows to have always been stored properly to preserve factory finishes throughout. The underside matches the engine bay exactly, signs of use, but quite obviously highly original with traces of Cosmoline still covering nearly every part of the car underneath. All factory coatings, marking, spot welds etc are preserved and evident throughout, showing that 100% without a doubt this car was never rusty or hit; beautifully presented and incredibly original.

  The Porsche 930 is a 911 perfected, and this example embodies everything one seeks in a fantastic original example of the first generation turbo cars. Any enthusiast looking for both an investment and a car they can enjoy may look no further than this excellent example. Unique colors, low mileage, completeness and originality throughout, right down to matching VIN stickers on the panels. This exceptional vehicle is a fantastic opportunity that is worth your consideration.
