Porsche 911 Carrera RS

The vehicle in detail

The exterior body is very good condition with correct RS fender flares, correct panel gaps and white paintwork that shows well. Inside the cabin, the sport seats are comfortable, the dash top has the correct speaker grill, the door pockets and map pockets are brand new (from Porsche). The steering wheel is the correct size, 380mm as opposed to the 400mm model installed on T/E/S. The front trunk is unrestored, tidy, and shows no signs of accident damage or rust. The undercarriage is straight and solid, and the fuel tank has been covered by a protective skid plate. The Fuchs alloys have the desirable frosted finish and are 15×7 up front and 15×8 in the rear. New Pirelli tires in the factory recommended sizes were fitted in November 2023.

The current engine, number 6630613, was originally fitted to an earlier ’73 RS, chassis number 911 360 0584. While there is no doubt that having the original matching numbers engine in an RS is the most desirable scenario, the second most desirable is to have a “real” ’73 RS engine from another car. This is a great running and driving example that feels strong and well-sorted on the road and is an excellent choice for spirited weekend drives and long-distance rallies/tours.
