Will a '93 RS decklid fit a '74?

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Probably not, but I have to ask. . .

It should - it's pretty common to put a later tail on an early car for the movable spoiler. You'll just have to adapt the hinges.

A '93 RS lid should fit an earlier car without adaptors. I believe the RS lid was the same spacing as an earlier lid with an adaptor to fit the 964. At least that is how my car was.

Edit: I am assuming you are asking about the RSA decklid and spoiler.

Yea, it's this thing (a guy up your way has it f/s):

Here's a nice one too, NorCal

According to PET the 964 RS(A) lid used the 965 (p.nr. 965.512.019.00) hinges which in general is the hinges from the old 911/930 so it should fit fine.

A pic of a RSA tail and decklid on my 87. Should fit the same on a 74.

RS, not RSA.

But it looks good anyway.

What's a 93 RS? Don't know it. The silver tail you posted a pic of looks like a RSA tail with a 993 RS badge on it.

Thought all the RSA tails didn't have the rubber thing around the outside, but I could be wrong about that. . .

Just the aftermarket tails like the one in the link above.

I stand corrected - I checked into it some more and you are correct. Here's my source for information:

Based on that, it appears the silver one I'm looking at really is an RSA wing. I'm interested in it more now. . . Considering that I already have a set of RSA seats. I may eventually go after an RSA drivetrain for a really interesting "conversation piece" 911.

FYI: the RS (Euro) had a standard motorized wing, the RSA (US) had the fixed wing.
