Fake 930 for sale alert
Hi all. For the UK based among ourselves please be advised of a fake posing as a 930:
http://www.themodernclassiccarco.com...930guards.html
The ad has been changed since i last contacted the dealer to enquire. He had the chassis and engine numbers as part of the ad at the time (moron or provocative, ur choice).
For starters, notice the complete lack of VIN & options stickers. When I asked Stephen Boag, the dealer in question, he said the door pillar VIN sticker perished during his refurbishment (the word is used liberally here) and the bonnet sticker was never there as in his extensive experience w air-cooled Porsches, late 70s to early 80s did not always have the telltale sticker
He even asked another Scottish dealer specialising in used air-cooled 911s who confirmed that the stickers were hit and miss -maybe in Scotland alone?
Now, the VIN and Motor ID Stephen Boag let slip were:
Chassis : 9119303197 Engine no 6394816.
It doesn't need a sleuth to realise these are SC codes (no Stephen the 930 in the chassis is not for Porsche 930). If anyone has a different view I will humbly stand corrected but this stinks.
Finally notice the complete absence of the a/c compressor (can be removed) but also cabin controls etc (less likely to totally delete the a/c to this extent). Stephen obliged by saying you don't need a/c in the UK anyway
I almost got stung and luckily escaped. Handle w care.

It looks like a 930 but the chassis number tag and aluminum spec tag both in the trunk would tell the story. A 1979 930 would not have the option sticker in the trunk.
It has some features that are incorrect; no snorkel headlight washers, electric seats, lack of rear wiper motor, etc. The lack of an A/C compressor could be legit since A/C was optional for RoW.

Bet this car has some interesting stories.
