1972 911S found in the hills of Pennsylvania! An odd time capsule.

[Fubawu]

Well as some of you know I recently acquired 9112301652 in the foot hills of PA. An on-line ad tipped me to it and I was on my way. I made a call to the owner to chat about the car and get some details before making the trek. I expected to hear about a messy car in need of everything at a too high asking price! What I heard was 3 owner, matching numbers ,Andial and RSR. After a few more pictures the deposit was sent and I was packing the truck. The following morning I was ready to make my 5 hour drive to PA. I have a soft spot for the state as I went to school there years back (Go Owls) I woke up to a winter advisory. Which is typical great lakes weather but projected snow of 12-14 inches in a 12 hour period!! Damn I thought...so I sat for another day looking over the 5 pictures I had, probing for more information. The former owner was very nice and helpful but not a Porsche nut. He bought the car in 98 from the 2nd owner and used it for a few DE's days with the PCA. Around 2004 the car sat dormant only getting the occasional drive around town. Fast forward to my drive, my wife made the trip to look at yet another "Cute car" as she puts it. I kid as she is very willing to make these trips whether to hunt cars or race. It's always nice to have a companion in the car that looks and does most things better than me. Arrived without issue in a small town just outside Pittsburgh, you know your getting close when all you see are black and yellow flags on each house! (Steeler fans for those who don't know)

I was happy to step out of the car and into a well light dry but very cold garage. More importantly the car was as nice as the pictures! The first thing I noticed was the Andial decal largely plastered on the ducktail. The same thoughts you are having now raced through my mind. I did see in the pictures sent earlier an Andial 10k tach. So I tried to put two and two together. No Andial serial number on the case and the more I looked I didn't see too much Andial related. What I did see was a largely stock and original car hidden under RSR body work with little to no rust. The only rust was on the hood caused by the hood pins!! Why anyone would need pins for a stock hood is beside me? To go along with the matching numbers was S brakes, Koni suspension, original sway bars etc. I was told over the phone that the car had factory "Posi" traction and and short gearing. So I slid under the car to see a 915/02 11 for LSD! I had noticed an odd MFI set up in the pictures so back to the engine bay. I saw what seems to be early stacks painted in Andial gold? From what I've been told this was a common 80's set up to "open" them for more flow, something you could not do with plastic. Lastly I almost forgot to verify all the serial numbers, so I went around and confirmed everything right down to the production number.

I came up with the following and confirmed with Porsche:

Vin 9112301652
Engine 6322405
trans (Not recorded) 915/02 11 7329904
Production 102 7355 I think as it was hard to see behind the knee bar.
Paint 325-9-1 Albert Blue

I also received most of the original books, the car was purchased in Harrisburg PA, then was sold to Ohio and lastly back to PA. I am in contact with the 2nd owner and will report back with more information.
Work is underway to bring back the chrome the trim, 72-73 mirror, ST style front bumper, original deck lid and vintage race seats. Car will be left very minimal/outlaw hot rod but with matching numbers. A rare
combo I know!

I think so, at least I want to Would like to build it into a hotrod ST to go with my race car ST. It really wouldn't take much to make this car
very special. That being said once race season comes my attention always shifts to this 1971 911S

Awesome find! Looks wicked.

[Fubawu]

a couple more pictures, look at those wide hips!!

[jax911]

Incredible find, congrats!
Do you know anything about that front bumper? I happen to have the same one on my car and have not seen another one like it.

[TRE Cup]

that is the AIR 73 "iroc RSR" style front bumper that Dan made in 1974 when the later RSR came out. The factory never made this particular piece. So this was so cal ingenuity ;-), not Stuttgart born

Also note that it hangs down considerably lower than the factory 73 RSR part

you can still purchase one today- contact me for details

Yes it's very low, I have to roll up on 2x4's just to get a jack under it. And you can fit a big oil cooler in there, ++ brake cooling ducts, great piece.

Added Scheel vintage buckets, RS carpet kit, Protipio, hanhart rally stop watches, paint work completed, 15x11 15x8 Fuchs with TB-5 rubber lastly all trim was stripped back to polished aluminum. Still to come, new belts sport muffler and a few other small details.

[Fubawu]

It could go up for sale. I wanted to keep this one but Rennsport bills are adding up. I have two cars racing in that event ��

[Fubawu]

Got a little more done, Changed the front tires to the proper size, added a sport muffler, and added Wevo Blue engine mounts. Next up is a stock deck lid!
