Seller's Description:
RARELY DO WE SEE A 1973 RS CARRERA IN SILVER!! RIGHTFULLY SO, IN 1973 THIS COLOR WAS NOT A OPTION DUE TO METALLIC PAINT ISSUES NOT ADHERING TO THE PLASTIC SECTIONS ON THE PRODUCTION RS'S. AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE IN THE IMAGES, THE CAR LOOKS SPECTACULAR IN THIS PORSCHE METALLIC SILVER COLOR! THE FULL HISTORY OF THIS CAR IS WRITTEN BELOW BY THE COLLECTOR THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM. CLEARLY SHOWING THE LONG TERM FIRST OWNERSHIP (PORSCHE A.G. MECHANIC) AND THE ONLY 3 OWNERS THEREAFTER. THE LAST OWNER HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 18 YEARS AND PERFECTED THE CAR FURTHER AFTER HIS PURCHASE. HE HAS SHOWN NUMEROUS PORSCHES AT PCA CONCOURS AND IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE REGARDING THESE GREAT RS CARS. HE SHOWED THE CAR IN MANY CONCOURS AND WON MANY AS WELL.
THE CAR DRIVES AS GREAT AS IT LOOKS AND IS IN NEED OF NOTHING OTHER THAN NEW TIRES (ONLY DUE TO AGE, NOT WEAR). THE CAR SHOWS ZERO RUST AND APPEARS TO HAVE ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL BODY PANELS. ONE OF THE BEST DRIVING RS'S I HAVE EVER OWNED OR DRIVEN.
SEE HISTORY BELOW FROM THE PAST OWNER;
"9113601367 is a touring, third series RS and was sold new in May 1973. Actually, the RS was sold as a demo to Karl Conrad, who worked for Porsche from 1958-1976 and the car was sold in Trier, Germany. In 1975 the block was replaced, under warranty, because it pulled a head stud. In 1976, the car was repainted, at the Porsche factory, silver.I was told, by Mr. Conrad, that he was tired of the original light yellow paint and wanted something new, so he chose silver. In 1980, Mr. Conrad came to the US and was given an exemption for bringing the RS over to the states, so no work needed to be performed. In 1987, Mr. Conrad, had the car taken down to bare metal and repainted silver at a cost of 10K dollars, I have the receipt. Shortly after, he sold the car to a doctor in Thomasville, Georgia. The Doctor, Paul Carpenter, owned the car, along with other cars as a pension plan. The doctor sold the car in 1996 to Steve Lisenby. In 1997, I traded a 1974 Carrera and some additional funds to get the RS. I have owned the RS ever since. Over the years, I have replaced parts as needed with only NOS Porsche parts. Mostly trim pieces and interior pieces when needed, but the light setup is the way the RS came from the Porsche factory. I added the factory sport seats with double lockers shortly after I purchased the car and they are original and not recovered. The RS needs nothing and performs excellent. I have an inch and a half folder of receipts that date back to right after Mr. Conrad sold the car. I have entered many local Porsche concour shows and have won numerous first place awards along with winning two best of shows".
History would tell us prices are heading down instead of up. IMHO it has already begun quietly downward.
