STUNNING 73 RSR CLONE BACKDATE - FRESH BUILD - JUST PERFECT IN TANGERINE

Description

1974 /1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Homage

The Porsche 911 RSR is a true legend in the history of the great Stuttgart automaker. Based on the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a homologation special which debuted in 1973, the RSR took the basic formula of the RS and turned it up to 11. The already flared fenders of the RS were widened further, more material and comforts stripped away for greater weight savings, and a highly tuned 2.8 liter version of the mechanically injected flat six was dropped in. The RSR was intended strictly for motorsports duty and used by factory supported teams and sold to qualified customers. Today, the 911 RSR is a true blue-chip collectible car valued solidly in seven-figure territory, on the rare occasion that one comes up for sale, that is.

Offered here is a car that starting life as a 1974 - 911 coupe, this fantastic RSR tribute is freshly built to a high standard with outstanding attention to detail. Its current transformation started with a full media blasting and then adding butt-welded factory steel panels, and has also been upgraded with Carrera 3.2L motor. As part of that conversion, the entire 3.2 wiring harness and instrumentation were installed to ensure trouble free running. Mechanical upgrades front-mounted oil cooler, new clutch, fly wheel, throw-out bearing and pressure plate. New steering rack, all new shocks, new alternator, aluminum coated tuned headers, ceramic coated muffler.

Bodywork and paint was performed by a body and paint professional who has over 20 years of experience in restoration, with several of his projects taking class wins at Pebble Beach and Amelia Island. All paintwork was done using Glasurit products. The resulting finish is spectacular, with laser straight reflections and outstanding panel fit. New rubber seals and signal lenses were fitted as part of the reassembly. Turn signal extensions welded in, and high quality panels fitted that properly backdate the car to long hood spec. The body is finely detailed with many period correct touches such as rubber safety catches on the bonnet and engine cover, Carrera stripes on the sills, and a gorgeous set of correct style Braid wheels, 15 x 9 up front and 15 x 11 in the rear, wrapped in properly sized vintage look Michelin 15TB tires.

In the businesslike cabin, no stone was left unturned to ensure a true RSR experience. Exquisite vintage-style seats were built to order and upholstered with black vinyl bolsters and custom Tartan cloth inserts. Custom stitched dashboard with correct Perlon carpet that was professionally fitted along with a new headliner and new sun visors. RS-style door panels add to the minimalist feel of the car as well a correct deep dish RSR steering wheel. A 915 - 5 speed gearbox with a nod to modernity, a Wevo short shifter that drastically improves the shift feel.

The strong running 3.2 liter six was recently treated to a tune and full leakdown/compression test performed on 1/15/2016. The results show a very healthy engine: Compression shows 150- 155 on all cylinders. Leakdown is very strong – an average of less than 3% across all cylinders.

So much more than just a cosmetic conversion, this car brilliantly captures the hardcore spirit of the RSR. Thanks to the thoughtful detailing, the instant power delivery from the engine and the magnificent soundtrack from the custom made 3 inch center stainless exhaust, the drive lives up to the looks.
