This a smuggler's cover that will fit any 911 from 1965-1989. It is made out of brown resin that would resemble early RSR engine shrouds and other early RSR resin parts. This part includes hinges. PM me with any questions.
I am located in Southern California.
$250 +shipping if needed.

Very cool.
How much less do your new part weigh than the genuine original original equipment metal Porsche factory “911 Part” of 73 ?
The factory actually used wood covers as the smugglers box lid to save weight for the genuine homologation RS chassis — wood cover temporarily fitted (using Velcro iirc to secure cover) for these 500 (plus 500) more chassis when sent to the independent scales to finally check weight. However the OE metal cover was fitted during conversion if these true homologation chassis to M471 and 472.
Did the 73 M491 RSR actually use clear resin material for as a verson of the smugglers box cover - I have the rare M491 factory produced parts list for 73 which is separate A4 document from the maroon binders but it is not to hand.
The fact Porsche turned to carpentry as the weight-saving solution on 73 rather suggests there wasn’t a factory part cover in this resin in period. Don't think wording of FS suggests there was. Pity if Porsche missed this opportunity as your “ reimagined” modern one is a neat idea — always keen to learn about authenticity maybe evidence will surface from the ESR community showing there was a “911 Part” in this resin material in long-hood period.

Sorry to ask , are you also the guy called efrenporsche on instagram
not that I want to buy one , been making them for years
but find it funny you share the same picture as he / you do
but 2 different insta accounts
smell fishi , not saying it is , but ....
Not quite getting what is "FISHI"; Efren has sold a lot of my product for over 10 years. I sell many products from apparel and art as well as completed air cooled 911's. I personally make all of the products in my shop. I have been working on Porsches for over almost 40 years. Hope this clear up some of the fishi smell you speak of.
what I was saying was this guy Erfenporsche on his instagram he say I MAKE IT working on it for a year etc etc and post the exact same picture that you postQuote:

so basic erfenporsche guy is the scammer, saying he makes it ,but buy them from you ,and making everybody belive he works late nights to have these ready for HIS clients
hope he pays you good
First of all, he pays me well :D!!! Have you ever heard of a partnership in marketing (obviously you haven't)? Efren and I have worked together on making these pieces in a limited amount; and working the forums and using his extensive Instagram following to offer a part that I haven't seen on any market platform. Efren is NO scammer!!! Your irreparable accusations are really what your "brotherhood" is about? Efren and I have been members of this community for many years... Odd for someone that isn't even interested in the product is trying to spread slander about it.
u mistunderstand me complete, NOW i read you work together , its not what his first text was , it was He made it , anyway , Just wanted to be clear , who is making what
it could be you took his picture or the other way around , I am all good and glad its cleard out , product looks nice and everybody are safe dealing with you or him
All good
8200, you should not assume everyone knows you and the other guy. I have had Porsches since approx 1967, had as many as 10 at one time, currently a 1973 RSR, 2 speedsters, 3 4-cam engines and have never heard of you or the other guy. So Marek ,who is well known, is doing all of us a favor by raising questions.

Cool man! I don't remember asking about you? Like you I don't know who you are either even with your collection. Just sharing that I have been in this community for a long time like you, I assume. I never was putting out the assumption that everyone/anyone knew me. I just don't share my opinion on threads that don't pertain to me. If you ever want to check me out on Instagram (@speedster_werks). I show what I do and my stuff. Glad we got everyone understanding what a partnership is. Good discussion chaps!!!
Hey Mike; Your reference to your 73 RSR Jogged my memory. Your RSR is 0386 ?? I think you were in my shop about 3 years ago. You were referred, I believe, by Thomas Shaughnessy. He was my neighbor. Your number is in my phone. So I think you have heard of me. Don't assume you don't know me. I have had a lot of real period Porsche race cars and parts in my shop over the last 35Years. I just don't tell everybody about them. I have nothing to prove.
Will more of these smuggler's covers be made in the future? Interested.

I am not sure when we will release another run. I am putting all of my efforts to producing my booth for Air &Water event April 26 at Orange county Fair Ground. Keep checking my Instagram (speedster_werks) for updates and YouTube short showing my booth prior to the event (mid April)
finally the cover had arrived in bavaria ….
I had it clear coated with 4 layers, likewise my rain drip tray, to have it more sturdy and “protected”.
the transparency and the honey color hue is even more saturated by the layers of clear coat.
I had to do some modifications and adaptations to had it fit to the 65 closure system. an alloy closure lid was made, fixed with rivets. I also had to bend the hinges to fit the existing geometry, as such I had to drill out and set new rivets for the hinges.
Now nice overall…waiting for summer and hot temps under the bonnet to have it properly seated..
thanks again…;)
best regards from Bavaria
