Like a guy I know in the salvage business says: "I never look at them too hard because I don't really want to know." (i.e. it's the next guy's problem.)

This would be a nice one to restore. The original color is so cool.

Well, one thing I have observed is that the engine lid closing panel is from a later car. So... I wonder about the collision history.

EDIT: it also appears the Capacitive Discharge unit is missing/bypassed.

Neither of these things are confidence-builders.

I find it strange that no questions have been asked/answered [or simply not posted]. There are so many questions.

Here is the original [thank you Google] mention of it last year right here on Early S:

"Glacier 1972 911S This is my 1972 911S - found in Missouri infested with varmints. I have been removing the refuse of the previous inhabitants and rebuilding what they were exercising their teeth on. It is now back on the road and most everything is working. The A/C is not going yet but looks as if it was working when last parked for the varmints.
The car must have been converted to RS specifications early in its life, but hard to tell exactly when. It was originally Glacier blue – not many options other than the A/C. It came from the dealer ship in Jacksonville Florida and spent some time in the Denver area and then in the Tampa area. I have some history on the car when it was in Tampa, but that is all I have. I have the original maintenance record from new including the 60,000 mile service done in Denver at Hagestad. It came with an RS spec engine with an RS 019 injection pump. It had period recaro aftermarket seats in it that the inhabitants truly loved and came with H1 headlamps. The suspension had been worked over also with earlier aftermarket pieces. It came with period Wilwood calipers upfront. All of the period hardware I have kept on the car except for the seats and H1's. Mr. Shea parted with the seats that are nice original hounds tooth double lockers.
My question is; does anyone here know the car and its early history?"

Poster was referred to various sources. So: Does it still have the RS engine? I cannot image it does or that would have been stated in the eBay auction. I would take a genuine RS engine any day over matching numbers but understand I am now in the minority in that regard. So what engine might be in it? Not a word on the auction. I have been around long enough to know that a lack of information usually has a good reason for that.. On the other hand there are always cases where things are more than represented for whatever reason. [I sat on my hands overnight instead of going to look at a local Factory M491 914-6 GT for sale and missed it. it was the real thing and a wonderful car with fantastic history. You never know.]

This car looks like it could be great. Could...

This would be a nice one to restore. The original color is so cool.

And perhaps less than 10 years ago the same car with original (Glacier Blue) paint, Factory AC, Sport Seats and all the bells and whistles went for $25,000.
The hindsight is good. Foresight, not so much.
