🧰 Description Overview

This 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo is a two‑owner, matching‑numbers example with 42k miles and long‑term enthusiast ownership since 1993. Powered by the desirable 3.3‑liter turbocharged flat‑six paired with a 4‑speed manual gearbox, it represents the sweet‑spot 1978–79 930 specification—benefitting from key mechanical upgrades while retaining the pure, analog character that defines early Turbos.

The 3.3‑liter flat‑six, derived from the 3.0 RS/RSR race engines and built around a magnesium crankcase, has been treated to a concours‑level engine and transmission rebuild performed by a first‑generation 911 specialist. The work included a thorough examination of the entire car, a brake system fluid flush and refresh, and attention to the windshield and headlight washer systems. There are fewer than 1,000 miles on the post‑rebuild engine inspection and less than 5,000 miles on the transmission rebuild, with receipts documenting all work. The engine is currently fitted with headers; the original exhaust system is included. An upgraded A/C compressor improves cabin comfort.

Factory‑optioned equipment adds both performance and luxury: limited‑slip differential, leather sport seats, black headliner, electric sunroof, power windows, power mirrors, rear window wiper, and headlight washers. The brown leather interior and Casablanca Beige exterior create a striking and period‑correct color combination that complements the 930’s iconic “tea tray” spoiler, introduced with the intercooler on the 3.3‑liter cars.

The owner is a certified auto mechanic and describes the car as meticulously maintained, always garaged and covered, never smoked in, and mechanically flawless. Everything is said to function perfectly, with the car running, driving, and presenting inside like new. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the matching‑numbers drivetrain, and the car comes with the owner’s manual, tool kit, air compressor, jack, and spare tire.

Enthusiasts value the 1978–79 930s for their increased displacement (3.0 to 3.3 liters), higher output, and added intercooler while preserving the robust, highly mechanical driving experience that made the original Turbo legendary. This example, with its documented specialist rebuild, long‑term careful ownership, and rare, attractive color combination, stands out as a particularly strong representative of the breed.
