Some VIN experts should head over to BAT and look at this car. quite a bit of VIN controversy and discussion of a possible rebody.

Auction Description:
*Prepared for Club or Vintage racing
*Built by Rothsport Road and Race
*930/Boxster brakes
*Light and very fast
*Consistent class winner
This 1970 911T Karmann coupe was restored for street use circa 1999/2000, and then converted to a club-level racing car in 2004/2005 by Rothsport of Tualatin, Oregon. The original 2.2-liter six was replaced by an extensively-modified high-compression 2.7 that develops 240 horsepower at 6500 rpm with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and street gas. The Type 915 five-speed gearbox was race-prepared with a limited slip differential and WEVO shifter. The tub has a full rollcage, wrap-around Sparco "containment seat" with competition harness, safety netting for the driver's window and to the right of the driver, a quick-release steering wheel, and an external electrical cut-off switch.
There are 930 Turbo brakes in the back and Boxster brakes in the front. A front oil radiator was installed, as was an 11,000 rpm tachometer, in-car camera mounts, and wiring for two-way radio communication. There are steel 911SC rear quarter flares and Lexan side and quarter windows, fiberglass engine cover and IROC-style whale tail, front and rear valances. The car is fitted with 16-inch-diameter replica Fuchs-style alloy wheels, 7 inches wide in front and 8 inches wide in back.
The current owner states that this car proved very successful in competition, recording numerous class victories. The car was retired from active racing in 2012, and placed into dry storage with about two hours of running time on the engine. Reportedly, the car is started and driven monthly, and all fluids have been changed on an annual basis by AR Auto in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
This car is supplied with its original Owner's Manual, an additional set of powder-coated replica Fuchs wheels, invoices from the race conversion, a racing logbook through 2012, and other documentation. Prior to returning to competition, the car will require recommissioning with new tires and racing harness. For the amateur racer who wants to dip a toe into production-car-based racing, vintage racing with the addition of a fuel cell, or as a very quick "hot rod" 911 for autocross or time-trial, this Porsche would be an excellent starting point.
