That is a very cool color on a 930 - I have really liked that color on a car since I saw a Corvette Bronze '68 Camaro RS/SS new in 1968. The 930 at Sloan is pretty close to the same color.

Really nice car but at that price(at the moment) it really only makes sense if your a collector, as a driver... not so much.

Yes very nice color.. I don't like the "90% original paint" stated on the website.. Probably the typical hood/side mirror/spoiler respray. Hopefully not a rear quarter. Plus what's up with all the scratches in the engine bay. Dunno, call me ****, but for $67k and 25k miles it shouldn't need paint...

I don't think that price is too far out line, stunning color.

Yes i did, and thought twice before I posted this one. Didn't want it to appear that i was promoting Sloan. (my avatar is a dead give away) He does have some nice cars, and although they are pricey, he does not take junk. I live perty close and have bought and sold cars from him.

My first 930 was a silver 78 and I wish I never sold it. (It now resides in the land of windmills) This one temps me.

six gun, having owned both an early 930 ('78) and your current later re-entry 930 ('86) for a while would you comment on the differences if any?

With the execption of the cat and the exhaust they were perty similar. The boost is a little slower in comming on but I have removed the stock system and replaced it with a fab-speed (no emissions on 25yr or older cars in Ma.) Fit and finish same. The 78 did feel a bit lighter and more nimble but it's been 25 years since I sold it so memorys do fade. The rear flairs were welded on the 78and stamped from 86 on. All in all, they are both legends.

6g, you have a nice car.
Did you go single or dual out?
How do you like the fs, love mine. I actually modified my dual out for less noise, so far so good.

Thanks TT--- I bought my F.S. around the same time you bought yours, love it and was impressed by the build quality. Stayed with the single out let as I did't want to cut the right side. Trying to stay stock except for things that can be easyly changed back.

The late model wheels look great on your car, good choice.

I have a extra valence that could be cut if you need one, I also kept my stocker untouched, but honestly single out is the way to go. Dual is too loud.
The ride w late model wheels n tires is great.

Six Gun,

Have you taken a look at this one in person?

Anyone know if 'Copper Metallic' was a factory 1978 Porsche color, or was this 'Paint to Sample'? Also, I assume it's different than Copper Brown Metallic?

Thanks,

Tom
