Those are great cars, though now they are 20 years old, and the air cooled motors are clearly in demand, the guys who really know how to work on them are not cheap, and thus keeping these older beasts running can be quite expensive.

GREAT cars though!

Perfectlap, I can't tell if you're kidding or not.

Ha ha Ha! I am kidding! You don't see those whale tails anymore...
This car is a real throw back. I'm sure if your friend dumps ALLOT of money into it, puts the Fuchs wheels back on it, etc. he could flip it for a pretty penny. Turbos are always the most coveted.

Perfectlap, I almost posted to explain what it was, then I figured ( hoped ) you were kidding

DJ, didn't get to go for a ride, but it sounded pretty sweet when he took off.

Chills, I think he said it was a 1986...

( I know it is older than a 1989 because it has a four speed )

BTW - He told me he is looking for Fuchs to replace the BBS rims.

All 930s have turbochargers, so you don't call it a '930 Turbo', you just call it a 930.


Badass ride!
