THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

One of the most raw and unbridled cars available on the market in its day, the 930 Turbo has rightfully earned its place as a legend, and it is quite rare to find an example that has been as carefully maintained and unfettered as this.

Finished at the factory in Zuffenhausen on October 22, 1987 and delivered new to El Paso, Texas, this 930 is trimmed in the Cherry Red (it should be noted that the Certification of Authenticity notes the original color as Carmine Red but the label on the car indicated CherryRot/G4) over Champagne Special Leather with Leatherette beltline, and was ordered from new with a full complement of factory options including alarm system, Blaupunkt 'Reno' radio, steering wheel with raised hub, limited slip differential, stone guard foil, and power sunroof. Spending the first few years of its life in Texas, it moved to California in the mid-1990s where it remained until heading to the Northeast in 2015. Meticulously maintained, it comes with lots of receipts documenting regular maintenance. It is as clean on the top as it is on the bottom.

Retaining its correct Fuchs wheels, and showing under 46,800 miles -- a figure corroborated as original by its clean CARFAX report. The seller reports the car to be a strong running, well sorted car that is just as happy cruising at triple digit speeds on the highway as it is burning up the twisties.

This largely original 930 Turbo in a unique and special color scheme will no doubt continue to thrill and excite. The experience at the wheel of this beast will provide the closest thing to a time machine, taking you back to an era when electric nannies like stability control were barely wisps in the burnt rubber emanating from this Turbo's massive rear tires.
