1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Chassis Number: 911 360 1154
Engine Number: 6630613 (original to another RS, chassis 911 360 0584)

This 911 RS was completed at the factory in April 1973 and was built with the required specifications for delivery to Italy. It was finished with Light Ivory paintwork and a black leatherette interior. Individual options included Touring Equipment (472) and Sport Seats Left and Right (409).

Porsche factory records indicate it was sold in Verona, Italy in 1973 and was later imported to USA where it was issued a federal compliance label. Ownership records confirm it was in Maryland and Massachusetts until 2016 when it was exported back to Europe only to be reimported to USA in 2022.

The exterior body is very good condition with correct RS fender flares, correct panel gaps and white paintwork that shows well. Inside the cabin, the sport seats are comfortable, the dash top has the correct speaker grill, the door pockets and map pockets are brand new (from Porsche). The steering wheel is the correct size, 380mm as opposed to the 400mm model installed on T/E/S. The front trunk is unrestored, tidy, and shows no signs of accident damage or rust. The undercarriage is straight and solid, and the fuel tank has been covered by a protective skid plate. The Fuchs alloys have the desirable frosted finish and are 15x7 up front and 15x8 in the rear. New Pirelli tires in the factory recommended sizes were fitted in November 2023.

The current engine, number 6630613, was originally fitted to an earlier '73 RS, chassis number 911 360 0584. While there is no doubt that having the original matching numbers engine in an RS is the most desirable scenario, the second most desirable is to have a “real” '73 RS engine from another car. This is a great running and driving example that feels strong and well-sorted on the road and is an excellent choice for spirited weekend drives and long-distance rallies/tours.
