1980 Porsche 924 Turbo ‘Holbert Racing’ Widebody
An impressively modified example of Porsche’s well-balanced transaxle sportscar. – Fitted with Holbert Racing widebody kit in 1983, with Martini Racing-inspired side graphics. – Equipped from the factory with desirable Sport Group Package, option code 471. – Rides on rare, three-piece BBS wheels. – Previously owned by two different, longtime PCA members; acquired by Magnus Walker in 2016
My 1980 924 Al Holbert widebody Turbo is really, really a special car. It was originally delivered to Herman Miller Porsche in New Jersey on 31 July 1980. In 1983, the Al Holbert widebody kit was put on the car, also in New Jersey. You gotta remember, Al Holbert was a Porsche factory driver, racer, and dealer—raced at Le Mans, had his own dealership, and in the early eighties was offering his own version of a widebody fiberglass conversion for the 924 Turbo, based around the 1980 Le Mans racing 924 GTP. This is 45 years ago—way, way, way ahead of its time.
I acquired this very, very special, unique car 10 years ago in 2016 from the third owner. It’s actually rolling on a set of very rare three-piece BBS wheels that are nine inches on the front and 11 inches on the rear. Added to that, the racing Martini stripe that goes down the side and the very, very cool interior makes this truly a very, very special car.
