Thank you for your interest in purchasing "Doc," my 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo (930). If you are indeed shopping for a 930, and not just kicking tires, I don't need to spend time telling you how truly amazing and timeless the 930 is. So I won't. What I will spend time doing is detailing the history of this particular 930, along with sharing more pictures of one particular car than you ever wanted to see. I'll also include a few videos for good measure.

Why are you selling if you love this automobile so much?

You might be wondering why I am selling. In short, while I have dreamed about owning a 911 Turbo since I was very young, my wife and I have decided to purchase a home. With that said, please do not contact me trying to haggle in any way, shape or form. I am not interesting in trading a motorcycle or boat for my 930. I am not interested in negotiating. My price is fair, and my price is firm. You are looking at an incredibly fine example of quite possibly one of the greatest Porsches of all time. The Porsche that set the standard for supercars in it's day. A 27 year old car, that will give modern day, technology loaded sports cars a run for their money. A 27 year old car that has 300hp, and sprints from 0-60 in about 5.0 seconds. A 27 year old car that turns the heads of both young boys (and gals) who drool as it passes them, and old men who remember dreaming of this car in their youth. The timeless appeal of the Porsche 930 will ensure that depreciation is a word that will not enter your mind if you purchase this car. This is not true for ALL 930s, but for those who have been cared for in such a way that the originality of the car is the appeal. This is one of those 930s. While it is not 100% stock (period correct tape deck, and R-134 A/C conversion, see pictures below), it is as close as you will get, with low low miles, without paying upwards of $50,000.

Why European spec?

If you question how this is a European spec 930, when you know they were not imported from 1980-1985, you should know there was a "gray" import market taking place during the time the 930 was not officially imported to the U.S. by Porsche. Individuals would purchase the cars from European dealership, bring them stateside with a quick trip to a shop for an air pump and catalytic converter, and they would be approved by the EPA for use on American roads. The problem with purchasing gray market Euro 930s today is that you might not know when it was imported. That is, it might be a 1982 930, however, it wasn't imported until 1989 and they swapped out the speedometer with one that essentially reset the mileage on the odometer. Of course, that is not the case with my 930. I have all the documentation which proves it was imported directly from the dealership, brand new, in 1982. You will of course receive all documentation, books, and records if you purchase my 930.

You might ask, why I spent all this time putting together this page to sell my 930. Well, I understand with the internet, alot of purchases, including cars, are made sight unseen. If you don't have the ability to come see the car before you purchase, I wanted you to have the peace of mind that everything there is to know about this Porsche is listed on the page you are reading now. I have 100% feedback on eBay, and two of those were the sale of two different Porsches (personal cars, I am in no way shape or form a dealer). One was the sale of a 17' Bayliner Cuddie. All three were sight unseen, the buyer drove or flew in to pick up, and drove home (or in the case of the boat, towed).

So with me, what you see is what you get. Enjoy...

HISTORY

This stock, 300hp, 3.3L horizontally opposed 6-cyl, European spec Porsche 930 has a very unique history.

My 1982 Porsche 930 was first owned by a Mr. Richard Camputaro, a CPA from Daytona Beach, Florida. It was purchased and imported for Mr. Camputaro by Mr. Anthony Schimenti, founder of Eurosport Daytona. Eurosport Daytona is one of the leading manufactures and importers of fine and rare automotive accessories, including the "Europlate" their one-of-a-kind flagship European style license plate for European automotive enthusiasts.

As a potential buyer, you will be pleased to know the importation took place immediately after purchasing from Pon's Automobielhandel B.V. Porsche dealership in Amersfoort, Netherlands.

The purchase took place on May 16th, 1982, the 930 was imported on May 24th, 1982, and certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency on June 7th, 1982, by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on August 27th, 1982, and by the United States Department of Transportation shortly thereafter. From the documents I have, it appears the U.S. DOT was behind the power curve (as noted in a "third" letter from Tony to the DOT, showing the EPA's findings on the modifications to the car). The federal government behind the power curve? No possible... :-)

After the purchase took place in Amersfoort, the 930 was immediately shipped to Frankfurt, Germany (see above), then to JFK Airport, New York. Automotive Compliance Lab, Inc. performed the "Motor Vehicle Emission Test" in order to certify the 930 for use on American roads due to the fact it was a European spec car. The emission control modification was performed by Sports and Imports, based out of Pittsville, Massachusetts. The "conversion" was limited to an evaporative canister, and air pump, and a catalytic converter. Since the age of the car no longer requires these items, the air pump has been removed (I think the catalytic converter is still on the car).

The car was cared for by Mr. Camputaro until 1991, when it was sold to Mr. Tom Selby. He owned it for a very short period of time, until my friend's dad purchased it in early 1993, with 54,984 miles. My friend cared for it from 1993 until the end of 2007, when he sold it to me with the grand total of 62,276 miles. If you do the math, that's about 520 miles per year.

I first laid eyes on this 930 when I was in high school, in 1997. The car sat in my friend's father's garage collecting dust mostly, being driven on occasion just to keep the fluids moving. It was well taken care of, and maintenance done was performed mostly by the Porsche dealership in Orlando, Florida, as well as Zotz Garage, one of the top independent Porsche shops in Central Florida. I told my friend's dad I would buy his car some day. That day came at the end of 2007. This Porsche is truly amazing, and I am very disappointed to have the need to part with it. Sometimes life has different plans for you though!

DESCRIPTION

What you are reading about is a 1982 European-spec, Porsche 911 Turbo, or commonly known as "930". This 930 is Platinum Metallic over tan leather seats, with dark brown dashboard and accents. The tan and dark brown is as classy as it gets. Below is a list, in detail of the condition of the interior and exterior of this 930. If there is something you do not see listed, but you would like to know the condition of it, please email me and I will post it.

DASHBOARD
The dashboard is near flawless. NO CRACKS OF ANY KIND. The dashboard is the old style Porsche dashboard, that is, when it was leather covered. The leather has not been cut or cracked in any way. It is supple and soft, as it is kept moist with high dollar leather conditioner, as is the rest of the leather in the car. The dashboard is kept covered any time the car is in the sun (which is rare), to protect it from the sun. Generally speaking, I cover the entire car with the factory cover, if it will be in the sun for more than an hour.

CARPET
All the carpet is near perfect, with no major defects or stains. The floor mats are original, however, I do have a newer set of Porsche tan floor mats that I keep over the original ones for the obvious reason of protecting the original floor mats (both front and back). The carpet sections of each of the two door panels are flawless.

FRONT SEATS
Quite possibly the most looked at part of a purchase such as this, because you cannot hide the wear and tear from a seat. Seats show time and use, however, these seats truly show neither. The driver's seat shows ever so slightly a bit more use than the passenger seat, which is reasonable. However, up until a year ago they had sheep skin covers, so the leather was rarely touched. The sheep skin covers were very old, and I drive the car so rarely I have not yet replaced them. The seats are all original, soft Porsche leather. The same conditioner used on the dash is used on the seats (along with the rest of the car). I literally rub the leather down with the conditioner using my bare hands, and then buff with a microfiber towel. They look incredible for being 27 years old.

REAR SEATS & REAR DASH
Much like the front seats, the rear seats are near perfect. They show virtually no sign use, let alone 27 years of existence. They fold down to show the "turbo" script embroidered. The leather on the rear dash shows no sign of sun damage or fading.

EXTERIOR
Platinum Metallic over camel leather is a gorgeous, gorgeous color combination. The platinum metallic color looks beautiful in all settings, from sunrise to sunset, or with the sun behind the clouds (as seen in the snow picture).

NOTE: The car has NEVER been driven in the snow. I merely pulled it out of the garage to start it and move the fluids around, and thought I'd get a shot of it in the snow. Again, it has never, ever been driven in the snow. Furthermore, only once in the last year was caught in a mild rain shower, and of course after pulling in the garage the rain water was cleaned off.

Overall, the paint is a 9 out of 10, with a 10 being Porsche Factory Museum quality. The paint is in very, very good shape. It is mostly original with only minor paintwork on the driver door and quarter panel to correct for a few stone chips and one door ding from a very, very inconsiderate citizen. No expense was spared when undertaking the job of repairing the paint. I have full receipts and documentation of the work. The match on the color is perfect, and even under indoor florescent lighting, there is no sign of repaint.

WHEELS & TIRES
The tires are only the SECOND SET of tires to go on this 930. That shows two things. First, the miles are very very low, and the car has been driven "kind" -- i.e., this car has not been tracked or raced, or driven hard to the point of needing new tires every 10,000 miles.

Second, the car has always been garaged. The tires show no sun damage, and no cracking. Why haven't I replaced the tires, you might ask? Well, I doubt there are many 930s out there who can say they are on their second set of tires, so I thought it was pretty cool.

The wheels are in near show car shape. They are perfect, straight and true. They show no wear that you would expect from a 27 year old car. They look like they just came out of the box. I keep them treated with Vaseline, per Porsche's recommendation from the '80s for the care and feeding of Fuch aluminum forged wheels.

The wheels are 7x16 in the front, with 225 wide Dunlop tires, and 9x16 in the rear, with 245 Dunlop tires. This is quite a stout wheel for 1982, and even measures up to the race wheels of today's standards. The 930 Fuch wheels are truly the pinnacle of the Fuch line of wheels, and at the time (and still might be) Fuchs were the lightest weight production wheel on the road. You will see 930 Fuch wheels in various marketplaces for upwards of $5,000-$6,000, without tires.
