Odd - doesn't look like a 78. It has a 3rd brake light, which I don't think was available until 86 and the turbo script on the engine lid is in a chrome finish when 78 was matte black. Need a pic of the front bumber to see what type of head light washers are on this car. Also this question would be settled if the seller posted the VIN

Asking $115K. Is that really what 1978 930 are going for now?

I thought the leather dashes had a seam on top. My 81 had it.

Wasn't there a guy from Las Vegas on eBay who used to sell some dubious 930s under various seller names? As I recall though, he could spell better.

* 3rd Brake lights get added to these vintage cars
* Anodize on the early cars can fade to light purple making it look bright in photos
* Front snorkel washers could be changed to flat style or perhaps turn out to be a build delete?
* Ad lists this '78 930 as 12/451 which would make the VIN 93088000023, but yes, agree, would be nice to see it posted in the ad.

$115K is certainly inline if ad proves accurate and car checks out.

By seam, do you mean the stitched one that runs across the right front edge and then behind the dash bump? Looks like this 930 has a correct leather dash (in pretty good shape), but would need better pictures to be sure. Early cars had 2 plastic dash vents like this one has. By this age and mileage, most are distorted like the right side vent in the pictures. The Center Vent in the Dash is incorrect.

Are you thinking of someone with a name like, Lowmiles? Never heard anything good or bad, but do remember seeing low mileage 930's with super clean bottoms in the ads.



ONE INTERESTING THING - What's up with the throttle lever? These were on the 3.0 930's not the 3.3's. This is a very early car and maybe an option or carryover?
