Thread: My '72 "RSR" tribute is finished

  1. #1

    My '72 "RSR" tribute is finished

    Here are a few shots of the '72 RSR tribute that we finished up and had at the Colorado Parade. We had a lot of fun building this one and using as many original RSR parts to screw it together as we could manage. Since it was being built right next to an original '73 Martini RSR, we were able to reproduce many of the cool details that the factory did on that car. Thanks for all the help and input over the past year on this project. Happy to keep posting details shots if you are interested.

    Hello,

    I am new to this forum and still have a lot to read through, but what a lovely 911 you have. Do you have a thread of the complete build of the car?
    Did you use the wings of a Turbo or wide body or were they custom made?

    Hello John

    There are a few references to the car on the S Registry here and there as we built it, but there isn't a dedicated thread. The rear quarters are original steel factory RSR parts that were properly butt-welded in place in the 70's by the original owner.

    Great work Lee

    I'd be interested to know more about the MFI system and which twin plug distributor you used?

    Thx
