Interesting 911 for sale in NJ

No affiliation, I just thought this was kind of random car to end up at a Honda Dealer:

“this is the prototype 911 Turbo which appeared at a number of international auto shows. After completing the show circuit, it was converted to full race RSR specifications at the factory in period by request of Australian Porsche Importer Alan Hamilton.”

Hmm.. could it be one of the first prototype of what would be called the 930?

well it certainly looks like the one i've always read about and seen pics of. I believe at one time it was a na 3.0 motor. (I could be wrong)

This car has been written about many times in the past. There is a thread on it on the Early S registry. The car has been for sale for what seems like forever.

Unless it comes with the wooden engine that was in the vehicle when it was on display at the Geneva show the car's not worth a cent over $400k...

"Carfax has a full history" what? Carfax? really? on a 1973 911?

Love the looks (color combo, tartan seats etc) but at least have a full papertrail showing provenance please.

no motor pictures ????

if it was the first turbo THAT IS GONE
said 5 speed early turbos were 4 SO THAT IS GONE TOO

so no numbers matching trans or motor

how is this car worth more then another RSR CLONE

You're selling a half-a-million-dollar car and can't even be bothered to take pics that aren't blurry? <shakes head>

Nice car but it was originally LHD. Now it's RHD. Too many hands have gone through the car for it to warrant such a huge sum. Nice car...cool history but certainly not worth the price...IMO anyway.
