That was a really nice car, he didn't put many miles on it after the rebuild though. I guess some guys enjoy the building more. So many restored or modified builds get sold with almost no miles put on by the guy who paid the bills.

My theory: lots of folks think they want a much more uncompromising experience (loud, super-stiff suspension with no ground clearance, etc.) than they actually do, and when they finally get to drive what they've created they find they aren't having any fun. But please note I am not saying this personal theory of mine applies to this particular car/owner.
alternatively: lots of folks think they want a much more uncompromising experience (loud, super-stiff suspension with no ground clearance, etc.) and they're right! But by the time they finish their build, they are old and want a cushy ride
But at least they're half-deaf by then and the car doesn't seem so loud.
Let me first say that I have no affiliation with this car. Now that that's out of the way this car is certainly not for the purists but for the money I think you would be hard pressed to find its equal. It was $85K and now at $69,500 it should move quickly to a new home. If it were mine I would change the wheels immediately and then drive it everywhere.

'73 911 S Aubergine (VIN#9113301295)
although all of us love the early cars,..not all of us track them. I track/instruct, its a huge passion of mine, and I must say that this car if you would pay for all the labor set up etc of the add ons is quite a deal in todays market. Sure the cage is a bummer for safe street driving but still.
Like stated, its not for every1, but man it is a really really sweet deal if there are no hidden surprises.

Auction Description:
This Carrera 'RS Replica' was built in 2005, and immediately purchased from PAR Porsche by renowned US automotive expert Richard Taylor. Since completion by PAR, it has had just one knowledgeable owner and he only drove it on the 1000-mile 'Vintage Rallies' that he and his wife Jean organize in New England and West Virginia. Mr. Taylor had this car regularly serviced by Porsche expert Kurt Palmer at Autosport in Sharon, Connecticut and, pleasingly, it comes with all receipts and paperwork since 2005.
When it came to the engine, PAR started with the engine case from a 1973 911T. This was shuffle-pinned and line-bored, had the oil circuit updated and fitted with a 930 Turbo oil pump. The 9.5:1 JE pistons are on Pauter connecting rods that attach to a Magna-fluxed and micro-polished crankshaft. The new cylinders are topped with ported and polished 'Big Valve' heads from a 1973 2.7-litre engine, E cams and Weber 40 IDA carburetors fed by a pressure-regulated 100 gph Holley fuel pump.
A Euro Carrera distributor with MSD 6200 electronic ignition, K&N air filters, and stainless steel exhaust with dual 3-inch outlets are among the finishing touches, along with Club Sport motor mounts and a 911S oil tank with remote front oil cooler. The classic boxer six drives through a 'Centerforce' clutch and Porsche 901 5-speed transaxle with close-ratio gears.
The front brakes consist of oversize discs from the 3.2 Carrera and calipers from the 944 Turbo, and the rear brakes are 911S with vented discs. All brake lines are braided stainless steel. The suspension includes Carrera front struts and rear shock absorbers and 911 Turbo tie-rod assemblies. Weltmeister supplied front control arm bushings, adjustable rear spring plates, front and rear torsion bars and steering rack spacers. Cornering is sharpened by an adjustable front shock tower brace.
The Porsche body supplied by Reutter has received steel Carrera RS factory fender flares, Carrera RS front bumper and a Carrera RS "duck tail" rear spoiler. European-spec turn signals, taillights, driving lights and H4 headlights have been fitted. The exterior is painted Light Ivory, a correct 1973 Porsche color, with blue Carrera RS graphics. Original Fuchs alloy wheels—polished rims with matching Blue spokes and proper Porsche center caps—are unique to the 1973 Carrera RS—15x6 front, 15x7 rear. They're fitted with high-performance, directional, Yokohama tyres, size 195/60-15 front, 215/60-15 rear.
The Black interior features Carrera RS door panels, new carpeting with floor mats, new headliner, new Sparco competition bucket seats, classic Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel and a six-point bolt-in Safety Devices roll bar. An Alpine AM/FM/CD with Boston Acoustic speakers is the only non period-correct interior modification. Happily, the Alpine faceplate detaches, leaving an unobtrusive black face. Four-point G-Force racing seat belts—blue to match the Carrera RS graphics—highlight the interior.
Purchased in the US by our vendor in 2015 and imported back into the UK, this car has received further love and attention under his ownership with UK registration and work carried out by the Porsche specialists, Jaz, in Hertfordshire. Since then, the car has been maintained by our vendor's collection manager and has been thoroughly enjoyed with limited mileage under his current ownership. This special car is being offered for the first time in the UK, and has spent most of its time in a climate-controlled environment, so it will be a perfect car for tours and rallies, not to mention delightful drives on a summer Sunday.

Just thought I would post my hotrod. Two year build...Not meant to be an exact ST etc but a fun and exciting car meant to be driven. Tons of goodies. The more I drive her the more I enjoy her and want to keep her. However, I could use some cash for a variety of reasons. Am interested in Porsche trades plus cash. See details below...Some of you have seen her elsewhere and I have had over 25+ trades/offers but nothing yet that fits my needs.
