I don't want to disparage anyone's car because that is like calling someone's child ugly, personally I thought the green Sport was the best of the group from a condition perspective although there were some engine questions, the yellow Touring was recently done and pretty but had some significant fit issues and the white Sport was kind of a mess but went for the highest #. Hard to predict auctions I know, but no way a decent 2.8 RSR is the same $ as a Sport, sorry that just doesn't compute for me regardless of whether or not you can drive it to CarsnCoffee. Of everything I saw 911 wise I thought the little '67 911 with original paint was the best car in the room other than maybe the light blue '79 Turbo. Everything else had some issue or another.

The white 67 normal was the best to me as well.

Nice touch with the real deal RSR/GT steering wheel.

Lots of stuff just plain old wrong in that (freshly rebuilt) engine compartment, same under the hood! See, also, the aftermarket dash. Was born a Touring, now "converted" to Lightweight interior.

Nothing beats a well documented car. Absolutely nothing. Trust an auction company? Think again, Kemosabe.
This is one John Draneas covered in April 2015 SCM.
