Full Restoration: 1979 930 Turbo 3.3.L

Posted by PATRICK MOTORSPORTS on

PORSCHE 1979 930 TURBO FRONT
 
The 1979 930 Turbo was one FAST car ahead of its time. With a 3.3L Turbo flat 6, pushing 0-60 MPH in 4.9 seconds, and 13.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile. (For reference, Corvettes ran the same in 15.7 seconds back then)
This restoration now looks and feels like Day 1 off the dealer lot, and we love it!
