1973 Porsche RS Recreation Viper Green

At Merit Partners, we are in the habit of sourcing the top examples, in the world, of a particular model.  In general, we do NOT accept hotrods, back dates, or recreations.  However, with every rule, there is always an exception…  We are proud to present a stunning, incredibly accurate, and truly exceptional recreated 1973 2.7 Carrera RS in amazing Viper Green.

In the 1973 model year, Porsche manufactured a one-year only run of the 2.7 Carrera RS.  The new model was a 911S-derived variant with a larger 2.7L engine, the same 915 gearbox, same mechanical fuel injection, and 911S suspension/brakes.  Over the years, the Carrera RS has become one of THE quintessential Porsches of all time and is recognized by almost every top level collector in the world as a “must have” vehicle.  With real RSs now running between $600,000 to over $1,800,000, sometimes a stunning recreation is the next best thing.

Built on a completely rust-free, 1972 911T, true F-body chassis, this car drives even better than it looks.  It weighs almost exactly what a true Carrera RS would weigh and was completed to the highest standards only 2,000 miles ago.  The details on the car are amazing and include the following absolutely correct features:

·        Correct F-body car with original 1972 side oil fill flap

·        Correct 7R magnesium case which was align bored, pinned, and completely rebuilt

·        Correct mechanical fuel injection

·        Correct and completely stock 915 gearbox

·        Correct and REAL Carrera RS rear ducktail (original to a light yellow Carrera RS)

·        Correct and REAL Recaro front sports seats

·        Correct and REAL 911RS gauges

·        Correct and REAL quarter panel flares that are WELDED to the original 72 panels and are NOT fiberglass recreations

·        Full documentation, pictures, and records of the rebuild totaling over $125,000

·        Full import documents, DOT/EPA exemptions and fully U.S. Legal
