Condition
Just 200 of the 1,580 Carrera RS 2.7s were the more hardcore Sport 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. Excellent paint, interior and engine bay. The Carrera RS is 911 royalty, and this car has been treated as such.
Market commentary
The engine vicissitudes detract from this RS 2.7 Lighweight's appeal and the consignor is going to have to find just the right buyer willing to accommodate its exceptions in order to get much if any more than the reported high bid here. It is good to keep in mind that the reported high bid is enough to buy a good, original engine, Ferrari Daytona.
