    FS: Viper Grun Metallic 3.0 RS looking hot rod

    Helping a current owner sell this 911 hot rod (one of my creations)...

    Chassis number 9115201273. Expertly maintained and modified over the years to convey the look and straight line performance of a period 3.0 RS/IROC/RSR. I have a 1” thick binder containing detailed records going back 25 years and original owner’s manuals and books:

    EXTERIOR:

    Low mile and rust free Northern California car from new in rare and original #249 Vipergrun Metallic paint color which was been professionally refinished by Porsche paint and body specialist Jose de la Torre in Orlando, FL.

    - 3.0 RS/early Turbo steel front and rear factory flares (rears butt welded as per factory spec) installed by PO many years ago.
    - Fiberglass reproduction RSR front and rear bumpers by GT racing.
    - Factory original and numbered 3.0 RS fiberglass rear spoiler.
    - Mint condition European H1 front headlights.
    - Beautiful bright trim/chrome work and original glass.
    - Newly painted and detailed front trunk and engine compartment..
    - Original 9x15 factory Fuchs wheels with NOS BF Goodrich Euro T/A’s mounted and installed on the front; original 9x15 factory Fuchs wheels which have been widened to 11x15 by Evox in Switzerland, also shod with NOS BF Goodrich Euro T/A’s, are installed at the rear. All wheels are freshly restored by Alex Magro in satin/matte finish with polished outer lip.


    INTERIOR:

    Original saddle tan interior (#503) color with original vinyl, fabrics, headliner, and carpets all in MINT condition. What appears to be a rare European fabric center seat panel material in near new condition.

    - NO sunroof, power windows, or air conditioning for reduced weight and as seen in sport purposes models like the RS and RSR.
    - Factory original 10,000 RPM RSR tachometer and RSR/Motorsports 180 MPH speedometer.
    - Small diameter, thick leather rim, sport wheel (Carrera, RS, RSR) in mint condition.
    - NOS original shift knob.
    - Professionally installed remote control CD stereo system with separate Alpine amplifiers and Boston Acoustics speakers. Rear raised speaker/package shelf is a rare factory option.


    MOTOR AND CHASSIS:

    Special aluminum case 3.5L twin plug motor with non-factory RSR serial number (#6840161) stamping and “NMP 3/5” type code. Story is this motor was originally built by Jerry Woods, and has approximately 500 miles on a $9,000.00 tear down/reseal/freshening by Sid Collins at Troysport (invoice and photos of disassembly included) that includes new rod and main bearings, rings, chains, and gaskets/seals.

    - Original 3.0 RSR heads.
    - RSR Mahle pistons and cylinders
    - Carrillo 3.2 rods.
    - Special cross drilled 3.2 crank with polished and chromed journals.
    - Racing oil pump.
    - Custom grind camshafts (similar to GE 80 cam).
    - Reproduction Marelli twin plug distributor with 6 pin Bosch CDI and coils. Clewett plug wires.
    - Weber 48 IDA carburetors sitting on tall intake manifolds.
    - Triad headers and new custom exhaust.
    - Amber fiberglass rain hats.
    - New front bumper opening mounted RSR style oil cooler with factory hard copper and aftermarket braided stainless steel oil lines.
    - Lightened flywheel and aluminum racing clutch pack.
    - Factory front and rear sway bars with Bilstein suspension.

    NEW braking system with rebuilt 917 style early Turbo front and rear calipers with new vented rotors and Pagid pads.
    This is a VERY powerful motor with tons of low end torque, yet at the blip of the throttle will zing up to 8,000 RPM. No smoke at start up and quickly comes to an even idle… not the norm for a race type motor, and easy to drive in city traffic and low/stop and go speeds.

    Price as she sits is $54,900.00 OBO, and potentially the motor is available separately.

    Here is a video of this same 3.5 motor installed into a buddy's 914-6 were he is beating up on another 3.2 powered 914-6. The heads on this motor have spacers to bring the compression down to allow the use of pump gas.... take these out and I'm told compression jumps up to almost 12.0 to 1.

    This is odd, I just came across this thread and noticed the engine serial number #6840161, which is the same engine number of my factory original 1974 3.0 liter RS aluminum crankcase.
    I'm a bit confused, how can there be another factory original crankcase with the same exact crankcase serial number? My 3.0 RS engine type is 911/77

    BTW, my crankcase was NEVER restamped, remains and it is original with jacketed studs and all...
