Slant nose Porsche - Advice

[KPHMPH]

So my father in law has finally decided to retire and with that he is getting rid of his cars.

He has asked me if I wanted to buy one of his older Porsche’s because he would rather keep it in the family.

Does anyone have any idea on these cars?

I’d buy it. Those cars are awesome.

Since your question was pretty general, this might be of interest for you.

Do it.
I’ve always loved slant nose’s

[ercchry]

Looking at that interior... is it a real slant nose? Start there...

[dj_rice]

I'd say JDMjeevs is pretty familiar with these but not sure if hes still on the forum

Very nice car to have the option to own.

Why didn't he get a white one?

When I was a kid, my brother loved the 911, and just to be a jerk, I always said I liked the slant-nose kind better. Turns out, I kinda talked myself into it, and I feel weird about it. 10/10 buy this car. Such a perfect time capsule of the feelings of my childhood, and I want a ride.

Is that something you can use the VIN to check?

That is a beautiful car!

I like the slantnose as well, but custom work on this one turns me off it a bit and it also decreases desirability quite a bit on the open market . If i were you i'd buy it and restore it to its OEM glory since that is what a car like this deserves.

Damn! Very cool car

Yep. Very very cool car, but that interior has to go. Not just because its ugly, but the devalue alone is hurtful.

They are lovely, and if that is the real turbo, high value! For me, prefer the normal look, and stock interior...

But it was popular to do the conversion in the 80's and 90's !

(is it Alpine desk? :eek::eek:)

KPHMPH Is this why you are selling your Tethla?

[JRSC00LUDE]

I am thoroughly disgusted by the interior BUT what a cool fucking car, so nice even in spite of that.

Wanton disregard for feelings.

This....that car as it sits just screams shoulder pads and cocaine...would make it more valuable if an A-ha cassette was stuck in the deck with "Take On Me" on repeat

Send vin to Porsche or something... saw a bring a trailer car that had the correspondence with them as proof it was real

Wonton disregard, this is Beyond.

Don’t want to pay the taxes to take it to the USA with us..... if I don’t sell it I’ll just keep it registered in Alberta and bring it down .... ideally, that’s not what I want to do.

[BavarianBeast]

I’ll give you $100k for it!

[nismodrifter]

damn. so :bigpimp::bigpimp::bigpimp::bigpimp:

Those wheels. 16" Gotti. Daaaaaaamn.

[legendboy]

Beautiful call, this is a car from my childhood and it looks awesome. Looks to have some period correct aftermarket mods or options and to me looks like a dream if turbo car.

Can you give us some details on your father in law car? I want to know what the hell this is exactly haha

[The_Rural_Juror]

I was going to offer $200k but BavarianBeast seems so passionate about it that I better let him have it.

[BavarianBeast]

Thanks man! I think your offer is a bit more appropriate though..?

[KPHMPH]

I’ll settle in the middle for 150 :D

I'm going against the grain and say that the interior should stay as a monument to the style of the time. Buy a white jumpsuit and relive the 80s. If you want to sell it, put it back to stock.

[tirebob]

Fucking awesome time capsule right there!!

[Pacman]

I don't see a turbo boost gauge which is normally at the bottom on the tach on a 930. I also don't see one where the clock is (which some guys put there). Is this a 930? Is it a real M505 (slantnose) option car?

[TurboMedic]

I'm so jealous of that opportunity. I've always said the only Porsche I'd buy would be a slant. To have one fall on your lap? Incredible
