GORGEOUS '87 with '74 look

"beautiful bali blue 1974 CARRERA RS replica !

What if you could have the best of both worlds? a vintage Porsche carrera RS, with none of the issues associated with owning a rare, tempermental and sometimes fragile, original vintage Porsche! What if you could enjoy the look, the feel ,and the exclusivity....but actually feel safe in driving it every day? What if you could actually increase the performance, the feel , and the safety while giving your self the peace of mind that you weren't actually jeopardizing a piece of Porsche wonderful history? What if you could take your prized Porsche in to any Porsche service facility, knowing full well that the parts needed to keep your baby rolling down the road, were likely to never be discontinued or out of stock? Not to mention wind noise, rust, insurance and just plain worry?........well you can! AND you are looking at it!
The car you are looking at here has been treated to an extensive 2 year restoration by it's loving owner! Don't ask me why he is selling the car , i think he has lost his mind! The 3.2 litre air cooled flat six was just freshened, including new head studs by a 17 year Porsche master mechanic and owner of Victory Motorsports in Temecula California. this car is also equipped with the beefy G50 transaxle, and is sporting a new clutch , updated clutch shaft and resurfaced flywheel. The DME was also recently replaced. The beautiful bali blue Porsche color was applied after the entire car was disassembled , including engine/trans, interior and all the glass was removed! It may not be a 100 point concourse car..... but it's pretty darn close! All the body and window rubber is new as well, for a tight as new feel and appearance.The car is equipped with an alarm as well, for added peace of mind! The new owner will also recieve a car cover and bra to keep protecting this beauty!
Obviously a car like this is not just about the look! 200 lbs. has been removed by carefully "deleting" any unnecessary equipment. This includes, but is not limited to,rear seat, rear sound deadening,air conditioning system, rear bumper extensions, stereo and related components,center console, and engine blower. Various lightweight rs interior bits, including rs door panels and carpet set. 1974 front valence and a dry cell battery. the 70's sport seats are also manual ,saving a quite a few precious pounds! The car has been properly lowered to european ride height for proper handling and a great stance. The ride motions are controlled by a new set of Bilstein sport heavy duty struts and shocks. Steering feel is enhanced by a new set of turbo tie rod ends and bump steer is kept at bay by a set of steering rack spacers. strut tower flex is eliminated by a strong and beautiful polished aluminum brace. Rolling stock consists of a beautiful set of polished Fuchs alloy wheels in 16-7 front and 16-8 rear sizes. They are wrapped in new Dunlop Sport sp8000 rubber.

Open the drivers door and prepare yourself for a trip back in time to 1974! You will be instantly greeted by the beautiful MOMO prototipo wheel,that has been used by every porsche racer from the venerable 917 to the 993 cup cars! Slip yourself into the lovely , comfortable and equally supportive 1975 leather sport seats! They still wear their original leather, with just enough patina to make you think they belong. Enjoy the wonderful 911 dash with it's perfectly rotated for racing tachometer, just as it should be! From the new RS door panels to the bare shifter and radio delete panel, there is nothing to distract you from the task at hand! DRIVING! the way it was meant to be!

From it's Carrera script to the ducktail spoiler, this beautiful Porsche aims to please! From corner to corner or stoplight to stoplight, you can feel the heightened responsiveness of light weight and taught suspension. Don't let this custom 911 Carrera slip away! Bid with confidence and Bid to win! Please don't hesitate to call with any questions or concerns! Also ,feel free to fly in to the San Diego airport to view the car....i will pick you up at no charge!I am listing this car for a long time Porsche club member,who will be happy to talk about his baby with any serious bidder ! I joined the Porsche Club in 1996 and have owned a, 944 turbo/race car, a 1973 914-6, a lovely RS America, and currently a very fun 1967 912 with a 2.7 litre 6 cylinder that would make Vic Elford misty ! Trust me , you will not be disappointed in this car! Thanks for looking , Scott 760-521-0480
