The production model turbo charged 911 came about when Porsche originally needed to produce a car in order to comply with homologation regulations intended for FIA?s requirements to race the new 911 Turbo Carrera RSR in 1974. Porsche had to build at least 400 street cars, so production began and in 1975 the first 911 Turbo (internal reference 930) rolled out the doors at Zuffenhausen. The Porsche 911 Turbo is the most iconic of the 911 series production cars. It set the benchmark for all other production supercars to follow. This nimble and potent teutonic missile could hold its own on any road course, street or race with the more powerful and larger displacement competitors. Initially offered with a 3 litre flat six was coupled to a bulletproof 4 speed and rated at 250 horsepower, and after two years, in 1978 Porsche raised the displacement to 3.3 litres and added an innercooler thus increasing the horsepower to 300 in full European trim. In 1979, the 930 ceased coming to the USA due to emissions, after a 6 year hiatus, the 930 reappeared on the order form for the US market.
This two owner, low mileage Porsche 930 was a special-order car purchased new at Sunwest Porsche Audi Volkswagen in St. Petersburg Florida by a local car aficionado and collector. It was ordered in March of 1986, built in May of 1986 and delivered in August of 1986. This highly optioned Porsche is finished in rare factory Prussian blue with a corresponding dark blue full leather interior. The factory options included factory semi power sport seats, sunroof, stereo cassette radio, right hand mirror, limited slip differential and special order platinum painted center Fuchs wheels. The car was lowered at the dealership at the time of delivery and has been pampered ever since. The first owner owned the car up until 1999 and sold the car with only 12,000 miles on it. The car was garage kept and driven mostly on weekends and to various PCA events around the state of Florida. Here is an opportunity to own a legendary Porsche in a rare color combination that would stand out and be a conversation piece at any Porsche event.
