Finally - a short first test drive - the ongoing story of a 1970 Porsche 911T

07/17/2025

The famous Minerva Blue 1978 Porsche 930 is back from paint! This time she is perfect - the color is right on and absolutely drop dead gorgeous - wow, what a difference!!! She had previously come back from a different paint shop in the Cleveland OH area and it was a slam-bam paint job. The color was off and there were a ton of problems with the paint job, and we told the customer the paint had to come back off and we had to start over from bare metal and in stripping the car many, many slam-bam disasters unfolded. And it went from the worst paint job we had seen to one of the very, very best. Oh My God - she is absolutely gorgeous and correct in every detail. Thank you, Phil Palmer, for all of the attention to detail. We went through a lot of trouble to get the Minerva Blue right this time, including having a friend drive up and visit with his ultra-low mileage original paint Minerva Blue 911SC to do color comparisons - all of the current mix codes with the new colorants and metallic flakes are way, way off. This time the paint job and the color are right on and indistinguishable from the ultra-low mileage original paint car. The original Minerva blue is striking - we cannot stop looking at this beautiful color!

Early 911 magnesium cases present their challenges - over-heated cases or early cases that have been ruined by jacking the car up underneath them, can give a lot of challenges - it is usually a good idea to add a ring at the #8 bearing and to know, never to lift an engine or car by putting a jack under the sump plate, which was OK on early sandcast engines.
