There is another Petrol Blue turbo running around the DFW area. You might ask Al Zim (Zim's) as I believe the owner is a Zim's customer.

my apologies but I am not sure who Al Zims is? Do you know how I can get a hold of this person? Is the petrol the same as light blue metallic? All and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks a bunch!!! =)

Keep working the deal, with the aim to buy it asap. You've got the seller to $25k pending the PPI, that is great. When the PPI comes back with a rough estimate for the repairs, try to work with the seller on meeting half-way on only the essential repairs (head studs). Deal with the shifter, valve covers and exhaust yourself some other time.
I think if you can get the car in the current state for $21k or $22k, you are in good shape.

I would argree with CT44 above...
- Agree that the price appeared to be on the light side for the work being done.. new exhaust would eat-up almost half of the 5K alone.
- Good luck on your price negotiations, hope it all works out...
Also, I would think that car to be Minerva blue as that was the "light blue" metallic offered in 79. Believe any other "light Blue" to be special order during 78-79 model year.
I know that the car is not Petrol Blue for sure.

In 1979 there were three metallic Blues: Petrol Blue , Light Blue and Minerva. The 930 that you are considering looks more like Light Blue metallic or possibly Minerva Blue metallic as Petrol Blue had more of a deeper Blue in it.

agreed. Petrol is a very deep blue. I believe I am looking for glacier blue or light blue metallic.
Can anyone point me to a 930 or even 911 coupe with this color in low miles?
Thanks,
Jim
