According to Porsche factory records, this superb Carrera RS 2.7
was completed in December 1972. Originally specified for French
delivery, finished in Light Ivory (color code 1111) over a Black
leatherette interior. Options include factory air conditioning
(ONLY 60 RSs were special ordered with AC), electric windows,
Pirelli P6000 tires on 7" and 8" Fuchs wheels. Another desirable
factory option was added leather sport seats with headrests.
European Collectibles performed a ground-up restoration down to the
tub over a 24-month period from 2013 to 2015. Every aspect of the
vehicle was addressed with no expense spared. The entire tub was
stripped down to the bare metal. All panels, front fenders, and
bumpers were pre-fit to ensure the absolute best result. The entire
body and undercarriage was painted with Glasurit Light Ivory (paint
code 131) to original factory specification. The interior has been
completely re-upholstered in "Touring" trim. The complete driveline
was rebuilt and everything was addressed including engine, fuel
injection pump, transmission with the special RS oil pump, clutch,
brake system, tires, suspension, wire harness have all been rebuilt
within the last 2,100 Kilometers. Both the engine and gearbox are
matching.
A motorsport icon, the Carrera RS is considered by many to be the
greatest 911 of all time. Following a complete restoration to
original specifications, this example surely will not disappoint.
One of the highly desirable, first 500 Carrera RS examples built,
chassis number 9113600266 was built to M 472 Touring specification.
This RS is ready for immediate road or concours use. Complete with
tools, books & documentation of the restoration. Truly one of the
best 911RSs, you will find with no issues.
