Is there anything more classic than a Guards Red 911? When the car in question is a mint as this ’78 930 with 29k miles, it really is hard to imagine making a case for anything else.

This 930 came to us fresh from a mechanical restoration & respray, however it needed a little help to make it just right. We call this process our Classic Porsche Preservation program. The goal is to keep these classic Porsches preserved for a lifetime(s) of driving. We’re proud to be a small part of conserving Porsche’s history with this program.

Jen and her team from Carsmotology took the lead on correcting the fresh paint. The results speak for themselves and will provide the owner with peace of mind while driving this nearly priceless 930.

The car was delivered to us with it’s iconic Fuchs wheels in a polished finish. Clearly this look is not desirable, especially on a car of this caliber.

The wheels are in the process of being refinished to their original state thanks to the experts at Wheel Enhancement. Since this process can take upwards of 4 weeks, Ryan lent the owner his set of factory Fuchs for the time being.

One interesting tidbit about this 930 is it’s history with Andial. It was serviced by Andial back in the 80’s and eventually had it’s turbo & intercooler swapped with their awesome piece. The car still retains these pieces today.

Since the car was fresh from an engine service, our role in that department was limited to clean up and correcting a few components. The end result is a perfectly preserved engine bay that runs better than it did when new.

Interior-wise the car was in fairly nice shape. Again we leaned on Jen and her Carsmotologists to bring out the best of the factory interior. The car looks, feels, and most importantly smells just like it should for it’s age.

The finished product is a ’78 930 that is ready to be enjoyed for years to come. This one was a treat to work with. Please contact us to schedule your Classic Porsche Preservation consultation, we’d love the opportunity to preserve your Porsche.
