While he is probably best known for building wild outlaw custom motorcycles, and being that guy who cheated on Sandra Bullock, Jesse James is also a passionate fan of cars old and new.

The heavily tattoo’d icon of custom chopper building even had a stake in the legendary Austin Speed Shop at one point, and has owned wildly modified Ford GTs, mega-powered 911 Turbos and GT3s, lifted pick-up trucks, traditional 1950s-style hot rods, a 1944 VW Beetle rumoured to belong to Nazi commander Herman Goring, and plenty more.

And now is your chance to own his “barn-find” 930 Turbo Porsche. Built in Germany and exported to Puerto Rico some time after that the 930 was discovered in an airplane hanger and brought to the US, along with all its build documents. Apparently it also had $50,000 (American) spent on it recommissioning the car for use. He’s listed the black ‘87 model on eBay for $125,000 (USD) which isn’t a huge ask for a mint 930 these days!

A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.  For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.  Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions. Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
