I wonder what prompted the engine change to the 3.5L and if its original exists anywhere.

Lets get this right, its listed as a 70T but has a 72 side oil tank with door, it sits on 16 wheels, cant believe those are original or even period seats and claims to have RS and RSR heritage ? Really ?sigpicPhil Lack

With a car like this that has been used very well, why would original parts and accessories trump over race history?
I understand as an investment point of view original is king but this was built and used as a race car.
I am not comparing any two similar cars but this car for sale is a bloody ripper and if you’ve got the money in your back pocket you can replace parts (possibly) but you cannot buy that history.
The early911s forum is horrible for picking a car to death and I don’t bother reading any for sale posts anymore. I am more excited about seeing what’s 90% awesome and not the 10% that’s not.
It’s great to see an old car that has seen more corners at full tilt than I have had hot dinners. Brings a smile to my face and also reminds me I need to excercise a hell of a lot more.Last edited by Cairns888; 06-12-17, 11:05 PM.

I want to know why the 72 oil filler was fitted! Was that to keep the apprentice out of the engine bay while the guru’s pondered in how to make it go even faster while a simple oil change was happening? If so, that apprentice would be a lot older than me! He or she was changing RSR Porsche oil before I was born.
My comments weren’t meant to offend anyone, so I hope they haven’t.
It’s all about the cars.

Good luck to them... it's probably like grandfathers old axe in that it's been rebuilt, reconfigured, repainted several times.
makes me recall the story I was told by a Scottish chap. They pop-riveted 934 flares onto an original 2.8 RSR in 1977/8! But they were happy as they got to run the car another year and remained competitive.
The car would have many interesting stories to tell I'm sure.
i remember the old Porsche Cup days .... I wonder who ran the car then and what livery it was in?
