Think someone on here was recently looking for one. So here's one on Pelican... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...983-930-a.html

edit: darn it, it's in the UK....

Nice car-on the outside-

Holey Moley.... Someone had a huge bile vomit on the inside...

That interior cracks me up!!

Love the kiln red, though.

Was thinking wow, until I saw the interior photos.

For a minute I thought that the first interior pic was photoshopped. My mind could not grasp that someone would order that color combination on purpose. Wow.

But if it were silver/black or black/black who'd give it a second glance? Think of how the typical house was "decorated" 35 years ago..........

Any of you guys familiar with Kiln Red, because those pictures sure don't come across like I remember it. Much more of a copper tint, right?

The exterior color is gorgeous! Should funds ever permit, I'd love a late 930, and a '95 928 GTS to keep the aging Dung Beetle company. Oh, and a 50's-era Beetle.

I think you're right. Beautiful copper glow.... I still remember -- to this day -- back in the early 80's there was an SC in that color parked out on the street in front of my house that I just hovered over and admired. It was a rarity to see those cars up close and personal for me - despite growing up in LA.

First 911 I ever drove was a 77 911S in kiln red with a cork interior (1990 or so). It was beautiful.

Friend of mine was a Porsche mechanic, he said, "No way, Jose" on a 77. Got an 80 SC in silver instead. Few weeks later, saw the 77 at a gas station, it had suffered an engine fire.

But I've always loved that color. With green, not so much.

That Turbo was mine. It has a very interesting story, being ordered through Weissach by a gentleman who finished third at Le Mans, behind a guy named...Newman.
The color is in fact a great combo. based on antique mountain furniture colors.
I had it at a timed 275 Km/h on the german highway. Very well sorted car. No sunroof, no AC, no alarm, sportseats and very sports chassis.

Call me crazy but I can appreciate that crazy color combo and it sounds like an interesting car.

The more pics I see, the more I agree. Perhaps just substituting black seats would take the edge off. Regardless, I could live with the interior for that exterior,,, maybe just drive it at night a lot.

+930!!! That thing is awesome. After you've lived with Polar/Marble grey for a while, a little color looks like a breath of fresh air!

GeorgeK

That is the very reason I bought it in 1997. How many *fully original* 930s have you seen that are not black, red, blue, white or silver, with a black/tan/blue interior??? Yawn.
Add an interesting history, zero crash damage, and presto!
