Ran an errand took a small detour and stopped by this very small specialty car dealer and this was newly arrived from an estate.... A "Widowmaker". One owner, sub 50K mile 1979 930, 4 speed. Absolutely as original as it could be down to its Blaupunkt cassette radio, new but period correct Pirelli Cinturato P7's and original dot matrix printed window sticker. Absolute true time warp.

Good grief, it is even in my favorite color, I was awestruck. The car has some curb rash and scuffs, but otherwise fine with no bodywork.

It just hit the market and though it wasn't advertised, it will probably be gone by the time I head back over just for fun, but this just isn't in the cards for us now....no way, no how.

Gottta go, hosting an auction on the dark web for a kidney:ROFLMAO:

What a beautiful car! Stunning.
I remember reading about the first 2 Turbo Carreras. As I recall, they had so much power they used a 4 speed gearbox.
 
Awesome. When I was a kid we used to look at the 930 as the pinnacle of sports cars. I had a friend who when he graduated from graduate school got a great job in California with Anheuser-Busch. He could work on the bottling line any time he wanted for extra money, and being single he did that a lot. He bought a '79 930 with the extra money and I was able to drive it once. It was like the fulfilment of every teenage car dream I ever had :)
 
Beautiful car and uncommon color. In 1983 I was coming home from work when my friend and I saw one on the highway in my 1980 L82 Corvette. I thought it was a regular 911 as I wasn't aware of this model as it was way above what I could afford. My friend owned a 1979 450 SEL 6.9 which was quite a car itself. Needless to say all I saw was tail lights.
 
A few more pics, I just had to drive her...... This vehicle is a true time warp, few scuffs and chips, crazed paint on the fibreglass part of the tail, but you wouldn't want to touch any of it outside of a good clean and compound.

She's a hellblau metallic Siren calling me to the rocks.

Magnificent! The equivalent of not many cars. Porsche was ahead of the curve with the big tail, Fuchs rims and this is a gem. I love this, but would be okay with a 928s or 911 Carrera. Heck a 91 Honda CRX Si-R with J35 would be okay too. Great pictures of Ferdinand Porsches' forward of its time creation 👍
