The Kremer name has been synonymous with Porsches since their inception – literally – as the brothers that founded the company have been involved with the company in one way or another since they could drive. Whether offering high-performance parts that uncorked the already prodigious performance of air-cooled Porsches or supporting Porsche factory race teams (or leading their own), the Kremer name has taken on mythical proportions akin to tuning shops like Ruf and Gemballa. This 1984 Porsche 930 here on eBay is a claimed garage-find example that benefits from the Kremer touch.
Listed at a heady $165,000 with the option to submit a best offer, the 930 clearly is far from stock. What’s most awe-inspiring is that the 930 was already a difficult car to handle, affectionately known as the widow maker, and the Kremer enhancements likely make it even more of a handful. The car is equipped with a 3.5L turbocharged Kremer-built engine, featuring a unique intercooler, custom-made high flow exhaust, NACA ducts on both rear quarters for enhanced air flow, limited slip differential, safety enhancements, and more. Oh, and check out the gorgeous three-piece Compomotive wheels.
The interior is fitted with DP/935 Kevlar Lollipop buckets with velour upholstery, and the interior is in striking condition overall. The 930 was discovered in quite possibly the perfect spot for a car like this: a garage somewhere in Miami. Seriously, can’t you just see this thing cruising on Ocean Drive or Biscayne Boulevard? Between the money that flowed into Miami in the 80s (and still does) and the massive quantities of illegal cargo that arrived there (this is a true Euro-spec 930, after all), it’s of little surprise to me that this custom Kremer road car was discovered there with under 40,000 original miles.
The seller says parts like this Kremer intercooler are near impossible to find, and I’m sure he’s right. It doesn’t matter which manufacturer you pick, there’s likely a small, aftermarket company that actually made products better than what the factory could offer. Those parts remain holy grail acquisitions for collectors today, and I guarantee there’s someone out there who has built a 930 to Kremer specifications but is missing the original intercooler. This car is a time-warp testament to the capabilities of aftermarket tuners that made iconic cars like the 930 more desirable as a result of their efforts – but is it worth the list price?
AC!! I’m in!
Yep, this is SO Miami.
I wonder how much HP/Torque this has. It isn’t mentioned anywhere in the ad. Whatever it is, I’m sure it is a handful to drive.
Have driven a Kremer 930 with all the suspension upgrades. Drove like it was on rails. Only folks I know who have handling problems with the 930 are those who insist you can run these cars full throttle on city streets or don’t know how to drive anything other than suvs. Had a couple of 930 customers in the ’80s that routinely ran into something doing something dumb in the city. Paid a lot of bills out of those folks over the years. Modified, the 930s are a fun car to drive and the Kremer is one of the best of the breed.
I had the opportunity to drive one of these and i must say, it was scary! It drove like it was on rails but with a tad too much acceleration, it reminds you that you’re driving a Kremer 930! True Porsche to its name! Pure adrenaline!! Amazing car and amazing experience!
If you’ve got a hunch, bid a bunch!
