Petrolicious Description:

Humbly birthed as a standard 1974 911, Richard purchased this clean slate canvas to build one of his master crafted RSR tributes. Completely dismantled, the car was media blasted to remove the original finish and undercarriage impurities. Consigned to a bodywork veteran with more than 20 years of experience, the original slim body panels were removed in favor of steel flares. The ‘74 year shorthood was backdated to the ‘73 longhood with a lightweight fiberglass trunk lid while a ducktail bonnet and front aero bumper finished the RSR aesthetics.

Once the metalwork was complete, a Glasurit brand Tangerine Orange paint mix was applied and finished to the highest standards. All gaskets, rubber seals, squeegees, and felts were replaced. Black vinyl ‘Carrera’ side stripes, ‘Carrera RS’ and ‘PORSCHE’ ducktail badges, 15×9”/15×11” Braid ‘Fuchs’ wrapped in Michelin 15TB tread, and rubber decklid and trunk safety latches complete the RSR looks.

Inside, the cabin has been completely reupholstered with several RS and RSR components. The dash was rewrapped, proper Perlon carpeting was laid, and custom headrest-less fixed shell buckets were wrapped in black vinyl with citrus plaid inserts—a tasteful touch. A deep dish four-spoke RSR helm, refreshed pedal assembly, and Wevo short shift kit provide the tactile touch points a driver needs while the minimalistic interior offers no distractions with a radio block-off plate and stripped door panels.

A 3.2-liter and 915 five-speed transmission were paired for more power and drivability. The engine sports a pair of aluminum-coated headers, ceramic-coated twin-exit center pipe muffle, and new alternator. The drivetrain received a new clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing for smooth grind-free shifting. For added reliability, a front-mounted oil cooler helps regulate moderate air-cooled engine temperatures and a new wiring harness ensures turnkey firing, fully functioning lighting equipment, and accurate instrumentation readouts.

On January 15 2016, the engine was professionally tuned and compression test figures averaged between 150 to 155 psi across all six cylinders. The engine also underwent a full leakdown test, which showed less than 3% leak on a six cylinders. The engine confidently climbs through the power band without hesitation, the 915 transmission shifts through all five gears without issue, and the spotless underside is congruent with the leak-free powertrain claim.
