Well gang I have taken the plunge and listed my 73 S Sunroof Coupe on eBay.
Edit> New eBay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...62a628&vxp=mtr
The Pac West R Gruppe members are very familiar with the car I am sure can attest to its capabilities and aesthetics. Personally, the car is a real screamer, and has been refurbished to a very high level. It did not have a nut and bolt restoration, but all the major components, body, paint, drivetrain, interior, trunk, engine, have been lavished with attention. I have $90K invested in a car purchased in 2001.

1973 911S Sunroof Coupe
This 1973 911S (9113301387) is nearly 95% concours, and an excellent quality presentation good enough to be shown without reservation or excuses. The west coast car is 100% rust free with no accident history.
Power Plant: The ‘73S is powered by a very strong 2.7 Carrera RS spec motor professionally built on ’74 U.S. Carrera RS case (911/93), fueled by a ’73 RS MFI. This motor has been balanced/blueprinted and is bullet proof with a turbo oil pump, Carrera chain tensioners, advanced oiling and more. All engine metal was re-anodized and the motor presents as new.
Transaxle: It features Quaife torque sensing Limited Slip Differential, with a solid shifting 915 gearbox.
Factory options: Full tinted glass, full leather interior, power roof, power windows, through the grill fogs, engine light, and AC (not installed). Also included: The original tool kit, jack, owner’s manual, and service book in their original red vinyl jacket.
Exterior: The ‘73S has undergone a windows-out bare-metal re-spray in the original Gran Prix white and is flawless. All exterior rubber and seals were replaced during paint. The floor pan was not touched and is completely straight. New H4s and Euro lenses front and rear compliment the exterior.
Interior: The newly reupholstered black leather seats with black and white hounds-tooth inserts beautifully compliment the Gran Prix white exterior. This combination must be seen. To enhance the forward view, a German sourced dash was fitted while the original instruments were re-faced to like-new condition. Looking out, a new SIGLA German windshield was installed. To complete the package, the steering wheel was recovered and double-wrapped. In the rear view, a new rear parcel shelf was fitted while the original seat pockets were reworked for proper fitment.
Performance: This ‘73S will blow the doors off all stock ‘72 and ’73 Ss. It possesses outstanding torque through the entire rev-range and has a conservatively estimated 215 hp (compared to the stock 190). The S has oversized torsion bars with LSD that aggressively puts the power down. The S sits at Euro-height, is corner balanced, and challenges the corners like it is on rails.
Misc. Mileage: 114,500. The matching numbers 2.4 S block (6339134), front over-riders, AC, standard torsion bars, and sugar-scoops included with the sale. Two extremely nice “7X15” Fuchs available at extra cost for a more aggressive staggered stance.
In Sum: This well prepared 1973S not only presents beautifully on the show field, but also possesses the performance to more than best the competition.
Thanks to all for their suggestions on sales. Now we shall see how she goes.
