I have an old VHS tape titled 'Porsche 930'. It is an old documentary on '76,'77,'78 and '79 930's. At the end of the video Dennis Aase drives a red/cork '79 through some back roads in So Cal.
Received that same tape when I got my 930. Remember it gave serial numbers along with a description of each of the 4 years. Didn't Dennis Aase do some narrating while driving?
Neat old film. You made me want to dig it out and watch it on my antique VCR again!

Vintage stuff here. I believe it came out in the early eighties. The video went over all changes to each of the early U.S. 930 turbos up to 1979. The 1976 and 1977 cars were Sienna Metallic or Peru Red(I dont remember), the 1978 930 was a PTS Gun Metal Gray and the '79 was White. The driving sequence with Dennis Aase was a '79 that was Red/Cork. There was also an interview with Dieter Inzenhofer of Andial.

Jay 72, that vhs video by Armour Prod. is Ron Armour who should be in celebrity status as well. He documented various Porsche (906 etc.) on video back in the day. He knew lots of owners/drivers of these cars that were POC, PCA, VARA members , and filmed Porsche as well as other exotics. Now how do I get a vhs player back into my entertainment center?

Bruce Leven, who owns a 935 and 962 and raced them for his company Bayside Disposal, has a 930 slant. Note his personalized plate that commemorates his trash business. Here he is at Rennsport Reunion IV at Laguna.
Member jgrant on here owns or once owned Pete Rose's DP 935, which was once Marios, but either sold it to Pete or turned down delivery and offered it to Pete as-new.
I'm almost 100% certain that Peter Gregg was awarded that 1978 930 Turbo after he won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1978.
My grandfather bought the car at what i believe was Gregg's estate sale indirectly via an agent in either 1982 or 1983 and it still had very low mileage (something like 6K mi). It allegedly had been upgraded by the factory with beefier brakes and a larger turbo (which I was told were from a 935) and I was also told that the driver who was paid to bring the car up from Florida had been pulled over and/or arrested after going through a speed trap at over 170MPH.
I was just a little kid, about 7 or 8 years old but I got to steer it and shift gears (while my grandfather worked the gas pedal and clutch) on the 4 speed. It was a pretty amazing car for the day and is definitely still an important part of Porsche history. It just had one large exhaust pipe with a separate smaller one for the turbo's wastegate and it also had red and blue diagonal stripes on the corner of the trunk and also the hood, which both had Peter Gregg's signature.
I have a couple of old Polaroid pictures of it somewhere. When I find them I'll post them here.
This was Peter's '78 930. I know the current owner.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe Pat Long (current factory driver) has a 930 in his stable. He mentioned it during the video he did with CJ Wilson recently (driving the Panamera Hybrids around the PEC track in LA).
