Car history.

Purchased new in 12/22/1978 new in Riverside, California from Colley Porsche/Audi. Between 1979 and 1989 the vehicle was appeared to be leased to or by Kennedy Cadillac in San Bernadino but was regularly serviced at Bill Van Porsche and Chick Iverson Porsche in Orange County, CA. By early 1990 the receipts appear by the dozen showing the car had 205,000 miles and was registered to the owner in Newport Beach, CA.

At that point the car went through a complete mechanical and interior restoration between 1990 and 1991. The repair costs were extensive, especially for the time all being done by local experts in the range of $50,000 being reinvested into the vehicle. The next owner, a local dentist in Huntington Beach, CA purchased it in 1991 with about 215,000 miles and owned the car till they could no longer drive in 2006. I purchased the car in 2007 when it had 275,391 miles and have owned it since.

In 2021 I had the car towed 40 miles away to the original repair shop it had been serviced at through the 90s. I had only put about 3k miles on it in the 13 years i owned it at the time so the repairs came to be $5,100 including some new Michelin tires.

The paint on the car was originally a custom order color of code 879 (Indiana Red Metallic) which was not an optional color offered by Porsche for the 911. It was available for the 944 and some Audi models at the time. The car was repainted in red (not 027 Guard Red because its slightly darker) in the late 80s. My understanding was the 879 color was difficult to recreate and not readily available. What I have read is 879 is a very rare color for a 911 and only a handful of Carrera’s and 930 Turbos received it between 1978 and 1980. The optional 16-inch wheels were refinished at the same time as the rest of the car.

In 1990 the engine and trans were completely rebuilt and tuned by ANDIAL in Southern California.ANDIAL went out of business when the founders/owners retired in the late 2000’s and Porsche Corporation purchased the brand due to its historical significance in Porsche Racing. The engine was fully documented, and all receipts are present. The current rebuilt despite being done 34 years ago shows just 70k miles being driven since the rebuild. A leak down test was preformed and shows everything running within ANDIAL spec.

The engine was bored and stroked from 3.0 to 3.2 liters. ANDIAL added an additional spark plug for each cylinder and increased compression, camshaft profiling and fuel mixtures. The result was an engine that is supposed to be as powerful as the 930 Turbo without any turbo lag.

From what I was told it has a lightweight flywheel, forged lightweight piston and had the intake ported. The clutch was also upgraded in 2005 to manage the extra low end torque and driving around town easier. The muffler was changed to an ANDIAL unit and has the matching ANDIAL cat-less test pipe. K&N Filter was recently serviced.

I only drove the car 4k miles in the 17 years of ownership, but I can say it’s a very quick car. The engine feels like it’s built for racing. Additionally extra cooling was added to the car with a massive undercar oil cooler. It revs very fast and freely!!!! The throttle is extremely sensitive and begs to be driven.

The one thing that I’ve noticed with the car is that it’s very picky with environmental conditions and fuel. It loves cool weather and equally race fuel. When I had the tune-up done 3 years ago it runs flawlessly at sea-level or at ambient temperatures below 90. When I brought the car to Arizona for a second time, I noticed that it will stall at operating temperatures if it’s above 90 degrees when coming to a stop. It likely needs 100rpm more on idle or ethanol free gas to fix this (or I likely haven’t been driving it enough)

Prices of work done during the restoration was as follow: ANDIAL Engine tunning and rebuild was about $35k, Interior was $15k, all other cosmetics and wheels were $12k.

Selling because i purchased it at the time to be helpful and the previous owner insisted that the car go to someone who would take care of it.

Comes with original Gillet catalytic converter and a massive binder full or receipts over the years including the official engine rebuild and scope of work. The original owners manual with delivery date, keys and original 1979 Porsche dealership print brochure is also included
