Vas Posted 28March, 2013 Report Share Posted 28March, 2013 Interesting story behind this car. If true it would make a nice collector. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/porsche-930-1975-14567082?base=&vertical=Car&cr=19&page=2&eapi=2&__N=4294963765%204294959259%201247%201282%201252%201246%201216&num=15&silo=Stock&sort=default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 29March, 2013 Report Share Posted 29March, 2013 That is very cool. I wonder if the other one was Alan Hamiltons? Owning a car that was owned by AJ is about as good as you could get down here. I am super impressed he is a Porsche guy. Makes sense and can you imagine the story's that car could tell, of him behind the wheel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 29March, 2013 Report Share Posted 29March, 2013 Interesting. Cleary it kills bugs fast as they are plastered all over the front of it. The interior would need to be put back to original spec as it is not correct. The seats appear to be later watercooled recaro's. There was another 1975 one for sale with half the K's and the tartan interior, but that was 140k. I nursed a semi over that one. This car, however would be a worthy investment regardless of its history and provenance. Any pre 78 930 is a very astute choice as a special Porsche. The beginnings of a schnell-luft empire.

withers Posted 29March, 2013 Report Share Posted 29March, 2013 How would you confirm that story tho? Service manual with the owners details in it? Via the VIN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 29March, 2013 Report Share Posted 29March, 2013 Interesting, black anodised pop out side rear windows !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 29March, 2013 Report Share Posted 29March, 2013 How would you confirm that story tho? Service manual with the owners details in it? Via the VIN? Though. You would contact Porsche and also have a look at the owners manual as it should have Alan's name in there. Also you could contact Alan himself and confirm the story. Interesting, black anodised pop out side rear windows !!! Yep. 911's had them until 1978. Mine has black pop outs, even though its not a 930............

OZ930 Posted 30March, 2013 Report Share Posted 30March, 2013 So they are available in black !! What am I saying. Mates Carrera 3.0 has them in black...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 30March, 2013 Report Share Posted 30March, 2013 That right there is my idea of Porsche heaven, right color, provenance and a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smule Posted 31March, 2013 Report Share Posted 31March, 2013 Not to shoot the car down, but no boost gauge under tachometer.. And 16 inch wheels in 1975 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 31March, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 31March, 2013 The first 930s had no boost gauge under the tacho. They seem to have started in late 76s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smule Posted 31March, 2013 Report Share Posted 31March, 2013 The first 930s had no boost gauge under the tacho. They seem to have started in late 76s. I didn't know that vas, my old 930 was a 77 model 3.0 had the gauge and many early ones that I've seen where the same.. Always good to learn something new with these cars. However the 75 definitely was not delivered with 16's and I believe they didn't have the stone guards on rear quarters, being a 75 would be pre-gal body with no brake booster, also flag mirrors where not introduced till 76/77 and the 75 didn't have a center console Putting all this aside, if the numbers are indeed for a 75 it would make for an interesting car regardless of history or modifications, with only 273 delivered ROW new there can't be many survivors left.....

Vas Posted 31March, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 31March, 2013 The 16s may have been special order, I dont know. Yes, the 75 had no stone guards, this may have been part of the special story. In the end, its a car you would need to do some research on. I think its the real deal, it may have been painted at some stage. If its not true, the guy will be found out in a phone call or two, so why would he bother. But you never know. "I didn't know that vas, my old 930 was a 77 model 3.0 had the gauge and many early ones that I've seen where the same.. Always good to learn something new with these cars." Late 76 and 77 cars had the gauge, not the early cars. I don't know anyone here, in the US or europe that has a gauge in the 75 or early to mid 76 cars. Here is a pic of an original 75.

SteveT Posted 3April, 2013 Report Share Posted 3April, 2013 No relevance to the thread but I remember reading an article many years ago about a guy that was obsessed with 930 Porsches. He used to set his alarm to 9:29 twice a day so that he saw the 9:30 come up on his digital clock etc. If I remember the story correctly he went to Germany for a factory tour etc and ended up buying one somewhere and shipping it. It was a great read at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
