Those are two separate intercoolers. The engine bay photo is of a bone stock '79 Euro 930 with 22k miles.
930 article in the July '84 issue of Pano, interesting color. I wonder of its whereabouts... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ironically the car was for sale in Pano, April of '84, 9309800752. Assuming the car is all original (7500 miles), interesting mix of early and late '79 930 changes; early York compressor, later center air vent, early 150mph speedo, later flush washers, later blaupunkt knobs. Delivery date was Sept '79, built date probably August '79? Interesting how this car has some of the later '80 changes in a production year '79 build. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Three to four years ago, I remember communicating with a PCA member who had a blue/blue PTS/ITS '78 930 for sale along with a video, mid-east coast if I remember correctly. Part of the story told of it being purchased new by one of the PCA Officers who, after buying it, was contacted by Porsche because they liked the color. Supposedly, Porsche copied the exterior color into one of their more popular blues in the later years.
No Affiliation, but someone has just posted a working Blaupunkt CR on Pelican, US spec. Pricey but these are crazy hard to find, much moreso than the Bambergs FS: Blaupunkt CR Stereo Typ US - Pelican Parts Technical BBS Affiliation: i have a Webster compressor on ebay

Video entitled; Porsche at Le Mans: The Definitive History, by XCAR. Great history of Porsches successful (and some not so successful) attempts at winning the 24 Hour race. Informative 2 to 3 minutes, starting around 12:00 when it begins speaking of the Le Mans 911 Turbo attempt started in 1974 which later morphed into the mighty 935 project. It finishes around 14:10 enthusiastically noting the Le Mans overall victory in 1979 by a 935 K3. This was a sensation, a GT, Sports Car, 911 was an overall winner over the prototypes at Le Mans. What a sensation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0lQLPUTFa8#t=857 .
Great Video, thanks. You forgot to mention it was a a 935 "K3" built by Kremer GMBH, not at the Porsche factory. That makes it to some a Modded car, not a real Porsche. Some "purist" think only if built at the Porsche production factory is a Porsche a real Porsche, common, can't have it both ways. Yea for Porsche Kremer ( Andial, also now part of the Porsche brand built a fewsuccessful Porsche 935's) for continued 935 racing successes. NART Ferrari comes to mind.
Porsche licensed poster showing the overall winning #41 935 K3. Secondary to this achievement, are the not often mentioned additional 935's and a 934 that followed this car to victory at Le Mans in 1979. Impressive overall and class victories for some special machines and drivers that would never have happened without the homologation of the 930. In 1978 and 1979 the Factory Werks 935's carried 10 digit VINS starting with 930, followed by 8 for '78 and 9 for '79 just as the variants they were based on, the production '78 and '79 930 Turbos.

That is what seems so be so easily forgotten with many. The 930 was designed, engine,trans suspension to handle tons of HP with the same basic stuff that is in every 930 built and was designed to be Modded. Some say Porsche would frown on any 930 unless as it was as built at the factory .From the beginning it was modded by privateers with great success and Porsche participated and proudly considered the wins as a Porsche win just as if if they had built the car as noted in the video. No wonder as they had developed the 930 from the beginning and some made it more reliable, more HP , etc with further development. John Starkey has a excellent book 930 to 935 " The Turbo Porsches" which will dispel any who put forth that a Porsche is not a Porsche unless built in Stuggart, noting Porsche Kremer as a premier 935 Porsche builder. A few other Privateers used parts and technology developed by them to build similar cars both for race and street use for many decades.

Mike - I was told $325K. I was also told that this was among the nicest '79 930 that they have inspected by someone that knows Porsches as well as anyone. I'll let everyone make their own judgement on where it should be priced.
Being discussed @ $325, also on Pelican " notable recent sales". A rare gem for sure. With prices being achieved in that area or above for the top few % of other great 930s, maybe not so much. Only pick I have is red cellophane dot missing in rubber brake pad.
Here are a couple of my 79 930s with the original dot intact. Oak green with 9600 miles and Silver with almost 30K miles. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
No, pulled it from the market. A few folks expressed interest and then faded. I haven't spoken about the market much lately, because I just can't pull it off the way others can, but still have insight - gonna share anyway . Awhile back I predicted all these valuation increases and mentioned the effect it has on people...brings out greed, jealousy, and every other man drama imaginable, lol. I got a cyber beatdown for mentioning $100k..then I went further and predicted always lower, but 'dinoesque' valuation beyond that, seems $325k is approaching that. Everyone hated on me...whateva. I was sick every day looking at my car sit unloved and even uninteresting (zero folks still have seen it - believing in conspiracy theories at this point) at $109k. It's worth more, so yanked it...the polarizer car! I went through the same exact thing with my Countach, sat unloved at a price that would sicken everyone here, it was a pretty nice one too. Oh yeah, ditto Mangusta... I AM putting the finishing touches on a project car that I am going to offer here and eBay soon because I still have to sell A car, and I haven't yet. It's a really COOL ride, leave it at that. Won't be long. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Mike, You had the 930 market identified before there was tick in the uptick. It makes me cringe when I think of the many masqueraded pseudo 25-45K mile 930's with asking prices higher than yours.
I study this stuff like a freak, especially the cars I personally own as I have left a ton of $$ on the table for others and I'm kinda over that The discussion of valuation on cars is one everyone is engaged in these days and it is offensive to many, so chillin on it for a while has been good, the market is going where it's going. I appreciate everyone's insight too, that's what these boards are for. I get help with my own car all the time, right here. Folks with insane knowledge about these cars, I love it. I just fall for 'em one after another and then learn everything I can while steward. I participated in the late 80's/early 90's rise and fall of collector car world too...many of the same freakin' cars. It's 30 years later, for sure some of them are collectible now.
