Vehicle Description
1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS
Chassis Number: 911 360 1154
Engine Number: 6630613 (original to another RS, chassis 911 360
0584)
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. While there is no
doubt that having the original matching numbers engine in an RS is
the most desirable scenario, the second most desirable is to have a
"real" '73 RS engine from another car. This is a great running and
driving example that feels strong and well-sorted on the road and
is an excellent choice for spirited weekend drives and
long-distance rallies/tours.
