R, RS and RSR clone cars, hot rods, R gruppe cars, or otherwise for Sale

It's easy to spend $150K on a quality hot rod build especially if the body is a mess and you need to source a lot of parts and do a proper job on the rust all these old cars inevitably have. The labor adds up quickly and I'm pretty sure we've all been shocked by the price for some of the cool part we all want. $10K sport seats, $5k MFI pumps, $1k H1's, Fuch's are big bucks and that's just a start.....do the math.

Auction Description:

Offered here is a 1972 Porsche 911 2.7 RS replica based on a German market, Porsche 911E 2.4 delivered new by Reinhardt OHG of Ratingen. Allegedly, its first owner was an American serviceman who specified various options to his Light Yellow 911E. The Letter of Authenticity lists sports seats, roll bars and black Porsche side decals. Today this 911 presents as, every inch, a completely rebuilt RS to Lightweight specification with GRP wings, bumpers, bonnet and interior seats with competition belts. The engine is modified along with the suspension and a rebuilt limited slip differential. The wheels are 8x15 rears and 7x15 Fuchs fronts. This recreation was the pet project of a renowned Porsche specialist, who intended the car for fast road use and occasional competition.

The history file contains bills from various suppliers, but importantly a series of invoices from marque specialists, Francis Tuthill Ltd. The invoices run from 2009 to 2011 and catalogue expenditure on the engine and gearbox, with the emphasis on reliability. The work amounted to circa £15,000 and this is evident in the way the RS drives today. Lots of further detail abouts this cars full specification can be found in the file. It's MoT'd until October 2016.

The 1973 RSL and RSRs just get better looking and more desirable as the years go by, and with that superb marriage of form and function, I can't imagine they will ever look out of date.
This is a pretty, fast and well-sorted evocation of a '73 RSL and with the originals being offered at up to 10 times our guide price here, it's worthy of serious consideration.

Getz:When I picked my car up at Rothsport (3 years ago) Jeff Gamroth stated it would take $150,000 for him to build my car. It is amazing how quickly the hot rod tab adds up when you factor in rare period parts and the time it takes a true artisan to build them. These things are a labor of love.

Often times it's not "Love" by the end of the build ! ...... The "Second Mouse" will definitely get the Cheese w / this car. TB
