This 1980 Porsche 933 is one of sixteen 924 chassis cars factory developed in Weissach and delivered to Holbert Racing in Pennsylvania in preparation for SCCA D-Production competition. This was Holbert chassis #2, serial number 92A0490002, which at the hands of its first owner competed in D-Production and when that class was eliminated it was upgraded to GT-3 specs. With its second owner at the wheel, the car became arguably the most successful GT-3 924 in history, with six track records, an overall NASPORT championship and 4th at the runoffs in 1991. A number of period pictures, articles, factory letters and race results are included. Although the car has only one test day on it since a complete engine, trans, and shock rebuild, it has been in storage since 2006 and needs freshening
These cars were designed by the factory to race in SCCA D Production Championship. The Porsche project number of these race cars was 933. Only 16 were built by the factory. If you had the right connections, you could buy the parts as a kit from Porsche to convert your street car into a fully race-ready 924.
Internal factory number: 933
- Launched on April 26, 1979, as Project 924/80.
- US SCCA Racers – 16 total (1980, 92A0490001-92A0490016)
- Designed and assembled at Weissach.
- Assembly and tuning finished at Warrington, Pennsylvania by Al Holbert.
Ownership history of 1980 Porsche 924 DP – #92A0490002 – “Holbert car # 2”
Stefan Edlis:
Originally purchased through, and built by, Holbert Racing in Warrington, PA and raced under Apollo Plastics livery (car #10 and #15) in SCCA D-Production and GT-3 classes. The car was heavily modified to compete in GT-3 by David Finch, owner of Raetech Motorsports Engineering of Ann Arbor, MI. The suspension and chassis were completely redesigned. Extensive lightening, gusseting and other custom fabrication is visible everywhere. (Finch is a 6-time SCCA GT-2 National Champion driving in a Porsche 944. Finch used the knowledge gained from the Edlis conversion for his own 944 GT-2 build.) Finch believes that Holbert only built 3 complete factory cars: One that Doc Bundy drove to the 1980 DP championship, Edlis’s car and a show car now owned by Tom Brennan.). Edlis raced against and ultimately with Tom Brennan (1981 SCCA DP National Champion in Holbert 924 DP # 1).
Don Meluzio:
Purchased car from Edlis in 1988. Meluzio ran the car under Porsche Model Club livery (car #53). Meluzio won NASPORT championship in 1991 (12 wins, 9 poles, 6 track records) and again 1994. Third in Runoffs in 1989, fourth in 1991 (continuous Runoffs in the 924 from 88-92). Meluzio finished 9th in 1991 Porsche Cup, 15th in 1989 Porsche Cup and traveled to Germany for the ceremonies. Letters from J"urgen Barth (Porsche Head of Customer Racing) and Bob Carlson (Porsche Manager of Racing) congratulating him on his success. The car held the GT-3 track record at 6 tracks, including Lime Rock Park for many years with a 0:58 second lap. It has dozens of SCCA National Event wins to its credit. Meluzio’ s crew chief was Vic Biser. Michael Stimpson did the head and cam work.
Tom Scheuren:
Scheuren ran the car under the Diablo Racing banner (car #53) in SCCA regional and national events from 1993 – 1998. The car was parked in favor of a GT-1 effort in the Rolex Endurance Series. In 2005, Scheuren had the engine, trans and shocks rebuilt and it only one test day at Watkins Glen. It has been in storage since 2006.
This 924 would be competitive in SCCA GT-3 today and would likely dominate the small bore classes of SVRA and PCA. Due to the extended storage, the seller suggests that the head will need to be pulled to replace valve springs, fluids changed, seat belts updated ect before taking it to the track.
This car has been extensively modified, it doesnt have a vin number but the parts alone are worth more then the asking price and the history on the car is solid. It will be sold with a bill of sale.
The Engine is currently disassembled to a short block. The seller is willing to reassemble the body and or pack parts inside the car for shipping.
I’m listing this car for a friend of mine, I’m not the owner. Please get in touch through Ebay messaging let’s have a brief conversation and then I’ll put you in touch with the seller. Buyer to pay me (Uplife) a non-refundable deposit within 24 hours then arrange final payment and shipping with the seller.
This car is located in New Port Richey, Florida (West coast, North of Tampa).

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
