FS: @Paul Russell & Co -- '73 RS . . .

[928cs]

While not all owners know or care about RS details it would be nice if the owner of earlier car was at least aware its engine is still around. May make no difference if armed with knowledge but who knows a second series could be made matching again. Should increase value — to my question not sure that a different non matching particularly hurts the later car. Arguably if owner pays a premium to reunite to its factory match that would offset any loss of value the later RS . The of used “phrase close and
handgrenades” comes to mind. It either matche or don’t.

I read again assertion it is second best — I’m asking again why an engine liberated from another RS is second best? To me only second best because value could be released if removed reunited. The third series car will always be not matched regardless of if motor happens to be from some other RS or a RS type motor. I’m open to be persuaded but need the reason to be convinced.

I'm not convinced either with the "second best" option.
I don't see how this is better than a factory provided replacement engine, stamped as such or not.

I agree, although I may be partial. A documented factory replacement would be a 'second best' option in my mind, followed by an engine with the correct engine type but a blank case with no documentation, then lastly an incorrect engine with the correct engine type.

Now at EC . . .

'. . . This 911 RS was completed at the factory in April 1973 and was built with the required specifications for delivery to Italy. It was finished with Light Ivory paintwork and a black leatherette interior. Individual options included Touring Equipment (472) and Sport Seats Left and Right (409).

Porsche factory records indicate it was sold in Verona, Italy in 1973 and was later imported to USA where it was issued a federal compliance label. Ownership records confirm it was in Maryland and Massachusetts until 2016 when it was exported back to Europe only to be reimported to USA in 2022.

The exterior body is very good condition with correct RS fender flares, correct panel gaps and white paintwork that shows well. Inside the cabin, the sport seats are comfortable, the dash top has the correct speaker grill, the door pockets and map pockets are brand new (from Porsche). The steering wheel is the correct size, 380mm as opposed to the 400mm model installed on T/E/S. The front trunk is unrestored, tidy, and shows no signs of accident damage or rust. The undercarriage is straight and solid, and the fuel tank has been covered by a protective skid plate. The Fuchs alloys have the desirable frosted finish and are 15x7 up front and 15x8 in the rear. New Pirelli tires in the factory recommended sizes were fitted in November 2023.

The current engine, number 6630613, was originally fitted to an earlier '73 RS, chassis number 911 360 0584 . . .'
