Stunning... Tom, thanks for the photo's of this beautiful original RSR. The shot of your engine bay is easy on the eye's also. As a matter of fact... I'm not greedy, I'll take the Orange car should this turn into a give-a-way...

What is that just below the oil filler?

Here's some more pic of my Orange RSR

show em your cool exhaust set up, that is trick!

'73 RSRs are north of $800K now.......rumors of $1M.

In "Das Buch" or The Book: Carrera RS, this Porsche RSR is listed as one of the very few RSR's imported into the US (The Book lists ALL chassis numbers and countries of export to each particular RSR). It may have been imported as "off-road only", as the engines could not meet the smog standards of 1973 (correct me if I'm wrong).
It was delivered as an M 491, delivered 1/1973 to the US, the original color was a "light ivory", color code 111, paint code 131 Glasurit, and the fourth most popular color delivered as one of the 160 RSR Light Ivory Carreras.

It's really great to have this RSR in the US, and should be preserved, specially in such outstanding shape! Thanks for sharing!!!

Footnote: My Carrera was built in September 1973.

Cheers from Canada,
