In 2008 this 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo was brought to the Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it had an estimated value of $34,000 - $40,000. When bidding had subsided, the lot had been sold for a high bid of $40,700 including buyer's premium.

The car is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled six-cylinder engine that displaces 3299cc and produces 300 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel disc brakes.

The original owner of this car was Al Holbert, the race-car driver who won five IMSA GT Championships, with 49 victories scored in a variety of Porsches, Monzas, and Marches. Holberts resume also includes winning the 24 Hours of LeMans on three occasions and 10 Can-Am victories.

This car is painted in Chiffon Yellow with a Dark Coca leather interior. It came equipped from the factory with air-conditioning, power windows, and a sunroof. It is a low-mileage car having traveled a mere 17,500 miles since new.

With its ownership heritage, is powerful 300 horsepower, and low mileage, the new owner certainly got a bargain at $40k.
