After getting it home and doing a mild strip down of the car it was time to think about what to do with it. With the prices of early 911’s rising daily, my first thought was to get the Certificate of Authentication (COA) from Porsche and restore this car to absolute original. This would mean a complete rework of the front end of the car as well as replacing the rear flares with stock quarter (Close up view of front end work) panels.

purchase new front fenders and weld on ST front flares, which are very similar to RSR front flares. For bumpers, I’ll use a fiberglass ST front bumper and fiberglass rear RSR bumper. Standard rear deck lid with no Tail for unique look. The ’72 oil door will be cut back into the passenger side quarter panel. A Lightweight Interior will include RS Charcoal carpets, simple single RSR roll hoop, RS replica seats with Green/Blue Tartan plaid centers. Door panels will be covered in the same Green/Blue Tartan plaid cloth and they’ll have the stock ’72 door pockets and door top trim. (Front end repair to include battery boxes)
I’ve already completed the front end metal work and the front suspension has been taken down, disassembled and parts have been bead blasted & plated as well as some parts off for Yellow Zinc Plating & powder coating.
There was a lot of back and forth’s with my feelings about this car. The absolute easiest way to go would have been to make it into a 3.0 Carrera RS clone. These are one of the rarest Porsches. But that would mean leaving is as an impact bumper car and that goes against the grain with me.

not necessarily those of PCA, FSR,
Turbo Tail, Dashboard, front fenders and seats are Sold. Finally I settled on a compromise with myself. I love the wide-body RSR look. So I’ll stick with the original silver color, return the front end to long hood (which includes battery boxes), leave the rear early turbo flares, HORIZONTALLY OPPOSED
