. . . when it was green, @2Shores . . .
'. . . Original Touring car with complete history. Delivered new in Germany, it sold in 1978 to the second German owner, who stored the car until 1985 without driving it. 1989 sold to the US to the third owner and 1993 to its 4th and current owner.Originally Posted by jmldn
Only 7000 miles on a complete engine rebuilt (2.9l).
This is a numbers matching and nicely documented Carrera RS. Rare sunroof and el. windows per Kardex! New Irish-green paint in 1994 (original color yellow) on pristine rust-and accident-free body.
The current owner slightly modified the car to his personal preference with a roll bar, sport seats, sport steering wheel and lightweight door panels.
The car is set up for light sport events, but was never used as such after the restoration. All modifications are easily returned to stock configuration . . .'
"With so many fakes and questionable cars flooding the market, documentation is the most important feature for a Carrera RS! This RS has been extensively documented with only 4 owners from new."

. . . and when it's orange, @Canepa . . .
'. . . 0856 was registered by its first owner in April of 1973 in Germany. The second German owner purchased the car in 1978. He took it in part exchange for a Carrera 3.0 and stored the car until 1985 in a dry garage. At that time the car had only 58,640km (36,437 miles.) It was taken out of storage and completely mechanically and cosmetically restored. In August of 1988 it was appraised in Germany as being in as-new condition.
Sometime between that appraisal and August of 1989 the RS would come to the United States. The next owner of record is James Ladwig of Melrose, Illinois, with maintenance records dating from August 1989 to September 1993. The RS would move into the care of Jeffery Proval, of Chicago, Illinois in October of 1993. Proval would own 0856 for the next 18 years, and, as evidence by a slew of maintenance records, took excellent care of the RS.
In 2011 the RS was acquired by Mark Lunenburg of Farmington, CT and was immediately put in for a complete concours restoration. The two-year process was completed by Jim Newton’s Automobile Associates of Connecticut. The extensive receipts show that every element of the car, both mechanical and cosmetic, was immaculately and correctly restored. Returned to its factory-original Signal Yellow paint the car presents exactly as it did in April of 1973.
All this exceptional work was rewarded with a “Best in Class” win and a “Grand Award” at the 2016 Concours d’Elegance of Texas. For the next 4 years, the car was preserved in a private collection, where it only accumulated a total of 60km before arriving to Canepa.
Since arriving at Canepa the Carrera RS was immediately placed into the “Canepa Difference” process, first going through service and reconditioning. Once completed, Canepa’s in-house detailing department delivered one of Canepa’s signature concours-level details. The underside was cleaned to a show quality standard. The exterior was hand washed, carefully polished and waxed. The interior, engine and trunk were treated to an equal level of cleaning, ensuring nothing was left untouched . . .'
