Equipment
Carrera RS Lightweight, Fuchs wheels, raced extensively in Switzerland, comes with documentation.
Condition
Fantastic paint and panel fit. The engine compartment is in excellent condition and the interior looks unused. A gorgeously restored Lightweight. This one was bought new in Switzerland and raced in period before having a replacement engine of the appropriate type obtained from the factory. Restored in the 1990s but the work looks much newer than that. Engine rebuilt with a new alloy case restamped with the original number 6630350 with the factory replacement magnesium case engine (complete and usable) included.
Market commentary
Not sold at Gooding Amelia Island 2015 at a hammer bid of $900,000 and at the Keno brothers' sale in NYC in November 2015 at the same bid. Just 200 of the 1,580 Carrera RS 2.7s were the more hardcore Sport Lightweight. The '73 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight is absolute top shelf when it comes to early 911s, and despite the age of this car's restoration it could be a seven-figure car which makes the consignor's decision to prefer the car to the money realistic.
