    The VIN shows this car to be a '74 Carrera 2.7 that has been butchered a bit into a slant nose whatever. Most of what the seller writes is total B.S. This is not an RS or RSR (yeah right, a thin metal RSR with a sunroof ) but it looks to have it's orginal 911/83 motor which is worth quite a bit.

    Right, not much to add. To wit:
    ...In the year 1974, Porsche produced a total of 109 Carrera 3.0. From the total number of units produced, only 54 cars were built to 'RS' specification while the remaining 55 where finished as 'RSR' race cars. The chassis numbers started with 9114609017 through 9114609121

    The engine probably is correct for a '74 Euro Carrera, and this car.

    As usual, buyer beware on e-bay. The sunroof was a dead give away that this was not what it was claimed to be. Another great example as to why you need to buy the right books to verify the information. My guess is that the seller was dupped into this thing and doesn't know any better...

    I have informed the eBay seller. Let's see what he does; I'm think he will correct his listing after a "reality check." Let's see what happens.

    I also informed him of the VIN after he responded to my question regarding the engine number. He is not familiar with the car as he responded by giving me the fan housing casting number. I believe that he is just passing along the same story that was given to him when he purchased. It is unfortunate about the body work as a '74 RoW Carrera is pretty decent car and getting even more desirible.

    Hi guys,
    looks to me like a 74 Carrera 2.7 which should have the 911-83 engine. I am always sadened to see those cool cars butchered up like this. Engine # is apparently out of a 73 car, but still the correct type for the car. The RSR stuff in the description is BS.
    I does have the correct tach but wrong speedo. One sorry car in my opinion. Perhaps worth the engine. To make this car right and have a correct 74 Carrera 2.7..........(mucho trabajo & mucho dinero) I would not want to do it.
    Just my 2cents worth.

    I believe the speedo would have been changed out as part of the federalization when it came into the US.

    Funny stuff.
    The car has got a dutch licenseplate (weird if the car was imported to the US in 83 and not running for 6 years), which gives te following result (according to the dutch car registry):

    Kenteken/license: LH-90-KG
    Voertuigsoort/type: Personenauto
    Merk/Brand: PORSCHE
    Handelsbenaming/description: CARERA R.S.
    Kleur/color: Wit
    Brandstof/fuel: Benzine
    ...
    ...
    Massa leeg voertuig/weigth empty: 950 kg

    Datum eerste afgifte Nederland/date first registered in Holland: 23-08-1984
    Datum eerste toelating/date first allowed: 23-08-1984
    Datum aanvang tenaamstelling/date registered on owner 18-03-1985

    How can it be registered to a owner in Holland while it should be in the US according the description? Also, it is a 84 type, not a 74 according to the first allowance date. Weird item.

    Even if it didn't look like it does, I wouldn't touch it with a 12 foot pole....

    Looks like this car is starting to pick up some bids now.

    I got some pictures of the engine stampings and they look real.

    The VIN stampings on the chassis have been tampered with. The owner says it does not have the aluminium VIN tag.

    The original color was Magenta. Probably not too many cars ordered with that color. The importation papers use the 9114600263 #.
