Equipment
2687/210hp, 5-speed, red Fuchs wheels, heated rear glass, headrests.
Condition
One of 200 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweights, and a rare US-delivery car that is represented as matching numbers. Known ownership history including Otis Chandler. Lightly restored in the late 1990s/early 2000s and showing little age to speak of.
Market commentary
As far as classic 911 road cars go, the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight is the peak, and a Lightweight (thinner steel, thinner glass, stripped interior) can be worth about twice what a standard Carrera RS 2.7 Touring. This one sold strongly for the age of its restoration but not excessively. It could have been yours at Christie’s Lyndhurst auction in 1998 when it was in “Not like new, but very nice” condition for $59,700 where it sold to Otis Chandler while still unrestored.
