Ben C3.o Posted 10April, 2013 Report Share Posted 10April, 2013 So, don't tell my misses but I am considering dipping into the renovation finds (who needs a swimming pool this time of year) and going for a 930 over a 76 C3. Why, well to be honest I found the C3 I drove the other day a little lacking in power to what I thought would be under the right foot. Mind you I couldn't really get into it as it was raining, I was contending with Sydney streets and traffic, I had Scott in the car with me and we were only out for a quick run so I didn't have time to feel comfortable behind the wheel. I have another 76 C3 lined up to test drive on the weekend and will make a decision which way to go from there. In the mean time, does anyone know either of these cars? Black ones in SA and the Red ones in Vic. Both ads are lacking is detain, neither owner answered their phones or return the messages I left today. At least they look clean unlike many ads for cars online. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/porsche-930-1981-14647307 http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/porsche-930-1982-14382676 Any feedback (whether you know the cars or just from the ad or 930's in general) is greatly appreciated. Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 10April, 2013 Report Share Posted 10April, 2013 The red one looks good! 2 very different cars though, best get a proper drive in a C3 before you disregard it - they can be a very quick car in the right hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 10April, 2013 Report Share Posted 10April, 2013 +1 on the red one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C3.o Posted 10April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 10April, 2013 I have no doubt it was the driver (me) not the car. I thought the black one looked good too except for the rims. Would put original ones on it. They were the best looking original 930s I could find on carsales today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 10April, 2013 Report Share Posted 10April, 2013 Can't offer much going by the Ad's other than I put more detail into the Ad for the Hilux I just sold for $1500! Holy smokes Batman crap work! +1 on the Red car. The Black car would look 11ty better with stock wheels back on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 10April, 2013 Report Share Posted 10April, 2013 Ben, I know both those cars. The red car, I went and had a look at and test drive not long ago. If you are interested in 930s give me a call. Vas 0418501400. Anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpunky Posted 11April, 2013 Report Share Posted 11April, 2013 was liking the red one till I saw the silver, wow ! V nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 11April, 2013 Report Share Posted 11April, 2013 Do we think the silver one has a busted handbrake? I love red impact bumper cars, and turbo-fying it just makes it better all round. The black ones wheels are barf-worthy. I can't imagine doing that to a fantastic car and stepping back and saying 'oh, now that is soo much better' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C3.o Posted 11April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 11April, 2013 According to the current owner of the black one (owned it for 15 months) it's an import from the UK, comes with no history, service wise or any other. It's paintwork looks 30years old up close and that was about all he could tell me. Still no return call about the red one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 11April, 2013 Report Share Posted 11April, 2013 For those that don't know, the silver car is mine. The brick is just for safety to reverse back up the hill. Nothing wrong with my hand brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smule Posted 12April, 2013 Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 Woah!!! ... Love your ride Vas, looks very original right down to the finish on the fuchs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 12April, 2013 Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 Thanks, mate. That's the way I like them, Bad. The car looks original inside and out. Even the engine looks stock from the outside. All the mods are inside apart from the exhaust sytem and IC. A stock looking 930 that goes like a rocket, a nice combo I think. I love this car. Looking at 930 prices and the cost of getting one I would want, I came up with a few facts. If I was to buy a stock 930 for $70k it would cost me another $70k to end up with what I have now. Body and paint, engine, suspension, gearbox and all the other parts. Crazy ? Yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdc911 Posted 12April, 2013 Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 If you are considering non-Australian delivered cars (and the fact that it isn't even in Australia) and it can be established that it is a genuine LE and ticks all the right boxes: http://www.pcsa.asn.au/PorscheClubs/pc_southaustralia/pc_main.nsf/web/76874AD296AC6C9AC12578BE003728A3#pagetop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 12April, 2013 Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 I doubt that Kiwi one can be imported because it's manufactured after 1 Jan 1989, which is the cut-off date for personal imports unless you own them for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 12April, 2013 Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 I'm going to stop looking at this thread now because Turbos are out of my budget and I do love them so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 12April, 2013 Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 I know I just said I was going to stop looking at Turbos but I found this one on that PCSA site http://www.pcsa.asn.au/PorscheClubs/pc_southaustralia/pc_main.nsf/web/A49AE4931F9F3814C12579C600480703#pagetop Tired but priced to move. Correct year of 76 which I think the OP is after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C3.o Posted 12April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 12April, 2013 Hi Coastr, I did see that one in my original search. I contacted the owner thinking given the price it might be a fixer upper but it was already sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonk Posted 13April, 2013 Report Share Posted 13April, 2013 I just saw a white one in the window at PCB. Doesn't seem to be advertised on carsales so may be worth a phone call whoever is interested. Vas, your car is my favourite on the forum. Just love it.
