1974 /1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Homage
The Porsche 911 RSR is a true legend in the history of the great Stuttgart automaker. Based on the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, homologation special which debuted in 1973, he RSR took the basic formula of the RS and turned it up to 11. The already flared fenders of the RS were widened further, ore material and comforts stripped away for greater weight savings, nd a highly tuned 2.8 liter version of the mechanically injected flat six was dropped in. The RSR was intended strictly for motorsports duty and used by factory supported teams and sold to qualified customers. Today, he 911 RSR is a true blue-chip collectible car valued solidly in seven-figure territory, n the rare occasion that one comes up for sale, hat is.

Its current transformation started with a full media blasting and then adding butt-welded factory steel panels, nd has also been upgraded with Carrera 3.2L motor. As part of that conversion, he entire 3.2 wiring harness and instrumentation were installed to ensure trouble free running. Mechanical upgrades front-mounted oil cooler, ew clutch, ly wheel, hrow-out bearing and pressure plate. New steering rack, ll new shocks, ew alternator, luminum coated tuned headers, eramic coated muffler.
Bodywork and paint was performed by a body and paint professional who has over 20 years of experience in restoration, ith several of his projects taking class wins at Pebble Beach and Amelia Island. All paintwork was done using Glasurit products. The resulting finish is spectacular, ith laser straight reflections and outstanding panel fit. New rubber seals and signal lenses were fitted as part of the reassembly. Turn signal extensions welded in, nd high quality panels fitted that properly backdate the car to long hood spec. The body is finely detailed with many period correct touches such as rubber safety catches on the bonnet and engine cover, arrera stripes on the sills, nd a gorgeous set of correct style Braid wheels, 5 x 9 up front and 15 x 11 in the rear, rapped in properly sized vintage look Michelin 15TB tires.
In the businesslike cabin, o stone was left unturned to ensure a true RSR experience. Exquisite vintage-style seats were built to order and upholstered with black vinyl bolsters and custom Tartan cloth inserts. Custom stitched dashboard with correct Perlon carpet that was professionally fitted along with a new headliner and new sun visors. RS-style door panels add to the minimalist feel of the car as well a correct deep dish RSR steering wheel. A 915 - 5 speed gearbox with a nod to modernity, Wevo short shifter that drastically improves the shift feel.
