1978 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) – Exceptionally Well-Maintained with Provenance

Presenting a remarkable 1978 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) that embodies the essence of a well-preserved classic with a unique and storied history. Delivered new by Rusnak Porsche-Audi in Pasadena, this Turbo has just over 10,500 original miles and has been cared for by a chain of dedicated enthusiasts, each preserving its pristine, near-new condition.

The story of this exceptional 930 begins in Southern California with its first owner, Dr. Jerry Malleus, a Porsche connoisseur who meticulously maintained the car for 16 years, adding only 3,125 miles. In 1994, the car found its second custodian in Spokane, Washington, who upheld its excellence for four years, until August 1998, when it showed just over 8,400 miles. Its final owner, a committed Porsche aficionado, further preserved the car in climate-controlled conditions, entering it in multiple PCA Concours events and adding just 2,165 miles over the next 16 years.

We acquired this Turbo in 2017 and have continued its legacy of regular maintenance while showcasing it at celebrated events, including the Flat Six Fest at Miami’s The Concours Club. The car remains in spectacular condition, with factory-original paint and a flawless interior. It still retains the original Certificate of Authenticity, a trove of service records, and a copy of the original window sticker. With only minor modifications the Turbo stands ready for national-level concours display or exhilarating drives.

The meticulous care this Porsche has received throughout its life has preserved it as a stunning, investment-grade example of Porsche’s classic Turbo. The rising demand for original, low-mileage 930s makes this an invaluable opportunity for any collector or enthusiast who appreciates Porsche’s legacy of turbocharged performance.
