Hello
Well it is not worth to think about reconverting. It only would pay back if the car had been a rare lighwight or had FIA papers and race history.
Many RS where convertet and upgraded.
I know one who has now a 993 lookalike body and still races the ring.
Also tuners like DP, Gemballa or Ruf used RS to upgrade them in variuos stages.
Mostly the owners where forced due to corrosion to do something with the body. Also many cars had accidents and received new look after that.
The RS was very sought in the 80´s to make those 934 and 935 lookalikes. The RS body is a that stiffer and especially the rear axle is strong enough to handle wide rims. On the normal axles the TÜV only alowed 9" and if you had a good day they allowed to use the 11" factory Fuchs as they are actuall only 10,,5" and much lighter then the welded repros ( Well back then the 11" forged fuchs still costet a fortune ). With the boxed RS arms and the reinforcements to the torion tube you could get 11" without any Problem ( letter from Porsche said it is a "stock" size ) and even 15" passed TÜV requirements.
Now if we cut out the RS story it still is a loaded car and someone didn´t had to cut down on the money on that project.
I just wished to see more pictures.
Whoever is buying that car will have to like it that way. There are to much originals ( 1590 build, oh -12) around to start retroverting that car.
The RS VIN will not boost to much in value. It would had been more clverer from the owner not to mention the RS history so noone would have focused on the RS thing and only experts would have recognized the 360 digit.
Seeing the marked in germany the car will not sale easy. Slant nose is somehow dead even factory slants are hard to sale. People like to see the 911 with a face as the 996 has lost that.
