General Information
Just Arrived. Still Awaiting Carrera Graphics to be installed on the Side.
The 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR is an icon of the motoring world, and for good reason. The RSR combined a lighter weight and a more powerful engine with improved suspension and braking to produce a car suitable for racing and began the 911′s stellar career in the annals of road racing history. Add to this performance the classic long hood 911 design and you have a winner in nearly every respect. Naturally, buying a Carrera RSR now is a very expensive proposition and the remaining models are found mostly in the hands of collectors who have little interest in putting additional miles on the car. Enter the replica: you get the looks and the performance, but with a lower cost of entry and less concerns over maintaining collectability. Which brings us to the car featured: a 1977 Porsche 911 transformed into the appearance of a 1973 911 Carrera RSR with a built 3.0 liter engine reminiscent of the 3.0 liter RSR of that period.
The original chassis is a 1977 Porsche 911S VIN# 9117201571, in excellent condition, devoid of any rust, damage, dents. The car has never been hit or damaged in any way:
This is a very aggressively tuned replica; it is well equipped for the Street and, should you be so inclined, it is Born for the Track as the car is. There are no track miles on the car/engine in its RSR State The car has no A/C in its present form. The Paint is great as its new. I would rate the Paint a 8 out of 10.
There has been approximately $70000 invested in the car as it sits. Reproducing the engine in the car will set you back $30,000.
Short History:
The Car is a 2 owner of the donor car having purchased from the original owner who had been storing the car for about 5 years. The car was perfect with a bad original color choice and a worn out engine. It had 75,000 miles on it, always been garaged, never used in the snow.
The stock engine was removed. It was replaced with a special build 3.0L Built motor. 11” flares were added, steel front fenders have been retained. A fiberglass hood, front and rear bumpers and spoiler replaced the original factory pieces. The car has been stored for the last 10 years, but serviced annually and occasionally driven to keep it in tune. You can drive it home. This Car is Wicked Fast.
