Wow, an RS on eBay! sorta...

Boy, I sure don't remember RS's looking like this, I must have a bad memory... Those cookie cutters are just like the wheels on the Targa Florio cars, right?! Ugh!

Rustbucket, thanks! Actually, I shouldn't ***** about the eBay car- mine is a '73 T with an S badge on the lid, although that's coming off this winter. At least the guy I bought it from didn't pretend it was a $75k, 210hp replica!

It's too bad they do that crap- a '71 T is a pretty respectable car as is, just clean it up and get it mechanically solid, and it would beat the hell out of any $5000 Toyota or Honda out there!

I have over $6800 invested in this car at wholesale cost and I have been doing this to older 911's for almost 10 years. However, because of previous high bidder's bad checks and the NEED TO SELL, I have set the reserve more than $2K below this figure. So, BID TO BUY.
This has bad news all over it. Pretty slippery sounding.

One serious piece of crap. I wonder if he has ever seen an RS.

It's nice to see someone with such a love for the 73 RS and such painstaking attention to detail.

That ducktail really transforms a crumbling T into a collectible, huh?

Still a heck of deal for $4500... Maybe.

This is one of those cars I would have to see and drive to actually put a value on it.

Those little rust bubbles can be very expensive.

And of course an RS it is not... Or even close!

not_sure,
thanks for the compliment! The wheels are 15" x 7" Fuchs, the tires are 215/50-15's. I'm thinking 215/55-15's when these wear out, they look a little small to me, although that size is probably pretty rare...

I just checked your website, and have to return the compliment. The combination of the red with the dark windows and tail looks really aggressive. Nice ride!
