Auction Description:

This Carrera 'RS Replica' was built in 2005, and immediately purchased from PAR Porsche by renowned US automotive expert Richard Taylor. Since completion by PAR, it has had just one knowledgeable owner and he only drove it on the 1000-mile 'Vintage Rallies' that he and his wife Jean organize in New England and West Virginia. Mr. Taylor had this car regularly serviced by Porsche expert Kurt Palmer at Autosport in Sharon, Connecticut and, pleasingly, it comes with all receipts and paperwork since 2005.

When it came to the engine, PAR started with the engine case from a 1973 911T. This was shuffle-pinned and line-bored, had the oil circuit updated and fitted with a 930 Turbo oil pump. The 9.5:1 JE pistons are on Pauter connecting rods that attach to a Magna-fluxed and micro-polished crankshaft. The new cylinders are topped with ported and polished 'Big Valve' heads from a 1973 2.7-litre engine, E cams and Weber 40 IDA carburetors fed by a pressure-regulated 100 gph Holley fuel pump.

A Euro Carrera distributor with MSD 6200 electronic ignition, K&N air filters, and stainless steel exhaust with dual 3-inch outlets are among the finishing touches, along with Club Sport motor mounts and a 911S oil tank with remote front oil cooler. The classic boxer six drives through a 'Centerforce' clutch and Porsche 901 5-speed transaxle with close-ratio gears.

The front brakes consist of oversize discs from the 3.2 Carrera and calipers from the 944 Turbo, and the rear brakes are 911S with vented discs. All brake lines are braided stainless steel. The suspension includes Carrera front struts and rear shock absorbers and 911 Turbo tie-rod assemblies. Weltmeister supplied front control arm bushings, adjustable rear spring plates, front and rear torsion bars and steering rack spacers. Cornering is sharpened by an adjustable front shock tower brace.

The Porsche body supplied by Reutter has received steel Carrera RS factory fender flares, Carrera RS front bumper and a Carrera RS "duck tail" rear spoiler. European-spec turn signals, taillights, driving lights and H4 headlights have been fitted. The exterior is painted Light Ivory, a correct 1973 Porsche color, with blue Carrera RS graphics. Original Fuchs alloy wheels—polished rims with matching Blue spokes and proper Porsche center caps—are unique to the 1973 Carrera RS—15x6 front, 15x7 rear. They're fitted with high-performance, directional, Yokohama tyres, size 195/60-15 front, 215/60-15 rear.
The Black interior features Carrera RS door panels, new carpeting with floor mats, new headliner, new Sparco competition bucket seats, classic Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel and a six-point bolt-in Safety Devices roll bar. An Alpine AM/FM/CD with Boston Acoustic speakers is the only non period-correct interior modification. Happily, the Alpine faceplate detaches, leaving an unobtrusive black face. Four-point G-Force racing seat belts—blue to match the Carrera RS graphics—highlight the interior.

Purchased in the US by our vendor in 2015 and imported back into the UK, this car has received further love and attention under his ownership with UK registration and work carried out by the Porsche specialists, Jaz, in Hertfordshire. Since then, the car has been maintained by our vendor's collection manager and has been thoroughly enjoyed with limited mileage under his current ownership. This special car is being offered for the first time in the UK, and has spent most of its time in a climate-controlled environment, so it will be a perfect car for tours and rallies, not to mention delightful drives on a summer Sunday.

Posted over on the bird, as that is where the build thread exists.
Yes it started life as a 912, but it is much more than that now.

I envy your high mountain photos on the bird. My wife is from Boulder and I would trade it for Seattle in a jiffy!

If you are serious about trading Seattle for my 911 R clone ...I would accept. Are we going to have governmental issues with this transaction. Should we try to get it done before the elections?

BaT Description:

This 1970 Porsche 911 Coupe began life as a 911T and has been converted into an RSR clone and prepped for street/event duty. The build was initiated around 2010 by the previous owner, who commissioned Kundensport of Oxnard, California to prepare the body and drivetrain. The seller acquired it in an unfinished state two years ago, and had the interior and mechanical sorting performed at various Southern California specialist shops. The car is powered by a 3.5L flat-six rated at 292 horsepower and mated to a 915 5-speed manual gearbox. The seller has driven it a few thousand miles since it was completed and reports that it handles crisply and feels well-sorted. An engine-out service performed in late 2015 included a compression test that showed 180 psi across all cylinders. The car is sold with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The bare metal Viper Green repaint shows well in pictures with a deep glossy sheen throughout. A fiberglass hood and ducktail spoiler have been added, while the RSR-style fender flares are steel. One small touch-up on the passenger-side rear wheel arch is noted. Staggered-width 15×9 front and 15×11 rear Fuchs-style wheels are by Braid, and cover 930 brakes at all four corners. The tires are Michelin TB15 vintage-style competition tires made by Coker.

The interior has been redone with new carpet, simplified RSR reproduction door panels, and Perlon-covered RSR-style racing buckets with period-correct REPA four-point harnesses. The dash and other interior panels were refinished at Autobahn Interiors in San Diego, and lightweight materials have been selected throughout. A roll hoop completes the performance-oriented interior package. The odometer was reset during the build and true mileage is unknown. The 930-derived, normally aspirated 3.5L flat-six has been built and tuned with 46 IDA 3C Weber carburetors originally from a 911R, 911 S cams, later-style Carrera chain tensioners, and tubular headers. The seller reports that it has been rated at 292 horsepower and 255 pound feet of torque on the dyno. An engine-out service was performed by FAT Performance in Orange, California at the end of last year, and a compression test showed 180 psi across all cylinders. The gearbox is a 915 unit that is said to shift smoothly and have no synchro issues.

The gas tank has been changed to a center-fill location, and an RSR-style front brace has been added along with gusseted shock tower reinforcements. The underside looks tidy and free of any corrosion or evidence of leaking. The suspension has been substantially upgraded with Bilstein shocks in front and Boge items at the rear, adjustable Charlie Bar front and rear sway bars, Porsche 930 torsion bars, and modified aluminum rear trailing arms. Final tuning and suspension setup was performed by Mirage International in San Diego, California.

Overall, this build looks to be thoughtful and was executed by well-known Porsche specialists. This longhood RSR is an accurate tribute and should provide plenty of thrills at a fraction of the price of a real thing. There are two brief videos of running footage on BaT site.

That Viper Green RSR has an 11 digit serial number and a clear California title to match. Original serial number 91101220XX, now 91101220558. Might be possible to determine the original serial number if the production number under the knee pad is still present and can be linked back to the original serial number by Porsche or someone with original production records, albeit a long hot probably. An NICB or NCIC search of serial numbers 9110122000-9110122099 might reveal a car reported stolen in that serial number range but then that serial number must be connected to this car. Not likely.

Neat car but would be very disappointing to spend $70K + and learn all this after the sale. The fake serial number was disclosed in plain sight on the auction listing header so buyer beware?

Not sure if such an issue causes insurance problems. Would certainly be an issue for export or import to another country.

Interesting that the forger did not create a correct 10 digit serial number. Why would the serial number be made up? Stolen?

Appears the flaw just gets passed down the line from owner to owner.

Scroll down to the last two photos for the trunk and latch panel serial numbers.

Does anyone know if there is a way to link the production number under the dashboard knee pad to the original serial number? Do those records exist?

Definitely the correct decision to withdraw the car by the BaT guys. Probably several bidders didn't catch the problem with the VIN before they bid.

Yes, in the Porsche archives there are records that would match the Prod. # and VIN. I seriously doubt anyone with access would help with this though. I don't believe PCNA has Prod. # information in the records they have. This would be the info they use to produce the CoA documents.

[Richardnew]

Wow And I really liked this car.

Even if the owner is able to verify the VIN this car may be permanently damaged. When you have to explain the VIN people get nervous. The market shrinks biggly.
