    I suspect that if the car has rear factory flares, it will add to its value ?

    Very interesting. That would make a rare care even rarer. I would sure venture to say it would add to the value. I know if I were buying one it would. Cool!

    Yes, my '73.5 911T is Fitted With:

    S type brakes calipers,
    Front and Rear Stabilizer bars
    front Spoiler rear ductail
    6+7x15 Alloy Wheels
    air conditioning
    sunroof
    etc.

    Specification indicates its closer to a '73 911E OR S with the Poverty Pack (911T) Engine.....

    Was orginally ordered for a Porsche Dealer Principles Wife for personal use,so the story goes.....

    I think it was possible only for US cars (since the 73RS was not imported).


    Never saw on RoW/German cars, as for a flat rate price tag increase, they could order a real 2.7l RS.

    I saw an RS without flares and ducktail in Montery in the '70's.

    We have a 69T with Factory RS flares, about the only thing the car has going for it.

    Brad Kogut's '73T has a ducktail listed on the COA. Bump flares were available on the '73S (see below). I also know of at least one '73S that came with RS flares from the factory. Not sure if the RS front spoiler was fit to non-RS cars though, most of these special order late '72-739 911s had an S spoiler.

    In my research for the factory exec car, the nomenclature was 'fender extensions' not flares. That is how all my factory correspondence referred to them.

    Could you please post some pictures of the harnass mounts you have in the car. The RS had an extra anchor point on the transmission tunnel behind the seats. You would not find them in the T, E or S.

    Thanks,

    Cees
