3/10/2014 Update: This Porsche has been sold.

From 2/27/2014:

This 1987 Porsche 930 (chassis WPOJB0939HS050956) was purchased by the seller in 2005 and is finished in the attractive original Diamond Blue Metallic. The car has 3,000 miles on a complete stock engine/trans rebuild performed by Bob Grigsby of RMG Enterprises in late 2008, with a receipt for $24k.The seller says the car runs and performs as-new, and is very smooth. He maintains it very well, and says that “My garage floor does not have a single drop of fluid anywhere under the car. As far as Porsches go, that speaks volumes about the maintenance level of the car.” It is now available in San Jose, California for $58k.

From the seller: “I have the paperwork for all of the mechanical work done to the car under my ownership. I have a few of the receipts from the previous owner that show some small tune-up type work that was done prior to his putting the car up for sale. The background on the car, as far as I know – originally purchased/owned in Pennsylvania. Purchased in 2004 and shipped to Michigan, where I purchased it from the owner in Ann Arbor in late 2005. I was told that the car had been in storage for ~10 years when he bought it. The car had been driven for 7-8 years by the original owner before being garaged.”

The car has been partially painted. When the seller purchased the car, the paint behind the right rear wheel, below the bumper line, was chipping, and it appeared that there was overspray in that area. The seller took the car to Cecil Beach in San Jose in 2007. Cecil confirmed that the fender over the R/R wheel had body work done to it. He repaired the R/R fender, and that area was properly painted. The rear valence below the rear bumper was replaced and painted. The driver-side door also did not close properly. Work was performed on the door hinge mechanism and the door was painted. All is correct now. Most of the rubber parts on the body exterior have been replaced, and the seller notes the chipping across the front of the car as shown in the gallery.

The interior is in very good condition. All interior buttons, switches, gauges, functions, lights, sunroof, etc., are operable. The car came with a Ruf speedometer that currently reads 38k mi. It also came with the stock Porsche speedo that has 27k miles on it. At the time of his purchase, the seller says that the CarFax history suggested that the combined mileage of the two speedos made sense, hence the 65k total miles. The factory speedo is included in the sale. The car also has a genuine Ruf steering wheel installed.

When purchased by the seller in ’05, the car had a hollowed-out catalytic converter and a MSD ignition system. Both have been replaced with OEM parts. Other than initial service work performed by Stevens Creek Porsche, the car has been maintained exclusively by RMG Enterprises. The motor was fully rebuilt in late 2008 by Bob Grigsby of RMG Enterprises. The clutch was replaced along with much of the transmission being rebuilt. Receipts are included. In 2010, an aftermarket MSD ignition coil (the only non-stock engine component) caused a small engine compartment fire. This required a replacement of the electrical harness, which was said to be the last new one that Porsche AG had. Bob Grigsby did some wrangling with the folks in Germany to get them to sell it. While the “engine fire” sounds scary, the seller says that it was very minor and a quick spray with a fire extinguisher put it out. The engine bay was thoroughly cleaned afterwards. The replacement of the MSD ignition coil with factory parts fully restored the motor to original.

The seller lists the following as the car’s faults:

1) The wheel center-caps are not original. The painted original caps were replaced with black, non-painted caps by someone before me.

2) The wheel lips could stand to be polished. There is a small amount of curb rash on a couple of the rims. Overall, the wheels are in very good condition, just not showroom quality. There are a few chips in the painted wheel centers.

3) The front end paint could use some restoration work.

4) The stereo is an aftermarket Sony. I think that I have the original blaupunkt in the garage somewhere, but, I am not 100% sure of that.

The owners manual is included, and the car has a Lojack system on it that is not active.
