Default FS: 1979 930 Turbo in Kirkland WA

No affiliation, etc...

Hello all. I was thinking about buying this car and decided to pass. Not enough room for it... I've driven it and its drives nice. Has the normal Turbo lag of this model but that's to be expected. No leaks from what I can tell and it has a huge stack of receipts from day one. The car has been well taken care of over its life. My quick cursory look at the receipts shows at least $30k in work done to the car.

Yep. Its charcoal grey metallic. Entire car has been repainted to the original color. Not sure when, but I think it was around 02-04. Its part of the documents included with the car. I spent about 15 minutes looking at the documentation and I only made it 1/2 way through. Its an impressive pile of docs. If anyone is interested send me a PM and I can put you in touch with the person I talked too at the dealership. He knows the owner (its consigned) and knows a bit about the car and its history.

Why does the Landmark ad state that the car is "Prussian Blue" ? ?

What am I missing?

That's a good question. It looks grey too me. In fact it looks like Seal Grey Metallic in person. Maybe I'm incorrect but it sure looks dark grey too me. From the looks of the original window sticker on their site it doesn't show what color it is either but the color code on the car will tell the story. Not sure where they got Prussian Blue. Maybe they're right maybe not. I think anyone interested in the car should check that out further. They did tell me the car had an entire re-spray. So, hard to tell... The engine compartment, which wasn't repainted does match the outside of the car. I did check that out...

I bought a 79 in Metallic black, it's really a very dark grey, a stunning color on a 930. I have not seen too many other 930's in that color.

Brand new compressor in the box according to the dealer. Also, I asked about the color. Its Prussian Blue based on the color code. But the car looks seal grey to me. Its an original color respray based on what I've been able to tell. The engine bay wasn't painted and its a perfect match.

The ad says they are original turbo wheels. It would be interesting to know if they really are. There is also an ad on craiglist with pictures outside, and the car looks a bit more blue in those pictures. did you notice from the receipts if its one owner or more than one?

It says OEM style wheels, those look like 17" to me so they are not factory.

the ad I see says "Original turbo wheels", what are you seeing?

never mind, I see where it says OEM style, I still wonder which is right.

OK, I looked at my SC which has real 9x16 or it, and those wheel are different. Are they wider than 9's? I thought only real Fuchs were forged.

They look like Lindsey wheels to me, they are available in wider widths that stock, those wheels don't look like stock widths either. The lindsey wheels use stock (forged) centers.
