There is little difference in the weight of the shells. The weight difference comes from the difference in parts bolted onto the shell. If the VIN plate is not important to you, then the ticket would be a late, galvanized shell with the parts of your choosing bolted on.

But I will say this: There is no substitute for low weight, and there is no more responsive throttle/fuel system than MFI. Because of this, a '73 RS is WAY more fun to drive than an SC or Carrera.

For me, Porsches are not about luxury. They are about performance and fun and responsiveness and reliability. The perfect car would be a galvanized shell with longhood look, flares, STIFF suspension, very low weight and a butt-kicking 2.7L (at least 2.7) MFI and 9.8:1 pistons, or thereabouts. More fun than showering with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
