Denis, judging from the engine compartment paint, I'd think that this is a beautifully redone but not original car. Did Porsche go to body color in '73 because it looked better, or because it was cheaper to do? In '72, the engine compartment and the bottom of the car were done in black...in '73, this step was eliminated from the producion line. A minor point, I suppose. Original vs. an excellent re-do? I'd think that's the buyer's decision. Obviously, this is one very nice car. A total of 1750 1972 911S coupes were produced, world wide. According to Bruce Anderson figures published in the Early 911S Registry's newsletter, only 278 of the 1750 were imported into the USA.
les paul guy? "The 930 has always been Porsche's top of the line flagship".... Uh, wanna take a guess which car was the top of the line flagship before the 930 came along? I repeat...I'm not interested in trading my car for a Turbo...it's a response and connection feeling that is more important to me than the raw power.
If, as earlier stated, this car has sold? The buyer need have no remorse about maybe having "paid too much". And if this buyer prefers an early S over the "flagship" Turbo, he shouldn't feel guilty about that either.
