1973 Carrera RS Cars for Sale

[911MRP]

Agree with that Brian. That has been my experience of inspecting later series RS with that finish used liberally under bonnet, engine bay chassis legs etc once chassis weight was no longer a consideration after homologation achieved -- even found on those later series M471 dubbed "lightweight"! The point about lighter weight chassis of the first circa 1000 was not just a matter of presence of thinner gauge metal panels, or not.

Not found on early examples.

Brian and Clyde -

Correct - other than the first series cars, Porsche took cars right off the T, E, S production line - they all had schutz under the floorpan and in the engine bay.

I find that hard to believe Robert as they homologated 1000 cars and they may not have passed with schutz on them.

I agree with Clyde.

I thought only the first 500 had to physically be taken for homologation. Even so, depending on what they were going to be used for, they were returned to Werk1 for refitting. Driving around without shutz makes a racket, so the ones destined for street use most likely had it applied unless the customer requested none.

10 plus years ago I had a 'expert' walk up to me at an event and he told me my RS was not real ..... Pray why I politely asked - well the rear window has a heating element .... WTF -- we'll I suggested replacing a glass screen was quite easy although I've not done that to my RS since I bought it in 93 - so it would be best if he looked for other key aspects. That said I pointed out UK cars had steel fuel tanks - shock horror - but maybe looking in the engine compartment and seeing no undercoat would be a better way to start to determine if an RS was proper or not ....

They definately homolgated 1000 and you can't imagine the factory added schutz and repainted after returning from the scales.

Cars without schutz were not noisy as RS cars were not devoid of schtz

I have owned 2 of them and they did have a very light coat underneath and up under parts of the guards anyway much less than a STD 73 car.

These pics are from #197 one of the most original RS cars I have ever seen...and owned.

Note the bilstein stickers still on the shocks wonder how many cars still have those and this car still had a perfect plastic horn push!!
