1973 Porsche 911 2.7RS

Details

Porsche aficionados covet cars that have something unusual or special or particularly rare about them. Well, feast your eyes on one of just 23 of the 1590  2.7 RS’s produced that were painted this spectacular color of Chartreuse, color code #6767. This is a very original car with just 66,000 miles from new. It boasts an extremely tidy original interior and an exceptionally rare factory sunroof as well as the highly desirable option of Recaro sport seats.

It is believed that this very late, third series RS was bought new by a Porsche factory employee, evidenced by Porsche factory and museum visitor passes that were attached to the glove box lid. It was delivered new by the Porsche dealer in Fellbach, Germany, a very short distance from Porsche central in Stuttgart. (Which certainly lends credence to a Porsche employee as the first owner) The fact is, at the end of the RS production run Porsche had trouble selling these cars, so they offered employees a discounted price. We can’t fully document this likely scenario, but good evidence is there!

From Germany the car eventually was sold to Mr. David Clitheroe in the UK. Many years later it had a California owner named Martin Deffenbach, then in 2003 the car came to the east coast, where it remains today.

Recently nicely sorted for spirited road use (documentation available) by the best Porsche shop on the planet, Automobile Associates of Canton (Connecticut), this great car is now offered publicly for the first time in decades. Price is $635,000/SOLD
