    Retro intake snorkel sans warm up flapper. (nothing wrong here as the factory did publish a notice about removing these although I'm not sure anybody paid any attention to it). Permatune Ignition. Hokey engine blanket and oil breather (on tank). Missing relay cover. Looks like a real-deal '73 oil thermostat hanging in the rear wheel well. Timing foil/spec looks wrong. Car used to be silver and if you really want to nit pick the Shell decal is mounted incorrectly. Have at it.

    Best,

    Big letters don't make a car sell for more money. That auction was really annoying.

    That said, it is supposedly an S and a decent RS conversion. What will the mixed message mean on price? $50K is top dollar for a perfect RS clone and $50K is top dollar for a fantastic 'S'. Methinks the muddying of the water will ensure this car doesn't sell at that price.

    One weird thing: VIN 9113300870 isn't listed as a '73S in the book. The '73S chassis nubmers apparently stopped at 9113300754. WTF?

    Wish I had its seats, though.

    Kenik,

    Not sure what you mean...

    '73 F-Series 911S coupes ended production in the 1430's... I have #1033 and it's an April build... F-Series 911S Targas end in the 920's

    Hope this helps?

    Must be my book; the number series in the restoration guide I have said the numbers stopped where I said. I triple cheked it to make sure I wasn't missing something. I thought it was odd. I am as confused as you are, then...

    The numbers you may be seeing may only be showing cars built up to end of year production (Dec 72). Stoddard shows #'s that way in some of their older catalogs...very deceptive.

    That's exactly what it is showing. Deceptive indeed. Thanks!
