1973 Porsche 911 RS Carrera Carrera RS Lightweight

  • Chassis Number: 9113600196
  • Engine Number: 6630219
This first-series M471 Lightweight is factory-finished in Grand Prix White over Black leatherette. It came equipped with a limited-slip differential (M220), retractable radio antenna and loudspeakers (M440), and Dunlop tires. It was delivered new in December 1972, and in the 1980s, it was updated by marque specialists to Carrera RSR-specification bodywork and RSR-type brakes, and the engine was enlarged to 2.9 liters. Also in the 1980s, it was acquired by Thomas Reichel of Germany and later exported to the United States. By early 1981, it had been acquired by Bob Jordan of Illinois. The current owner purchased the car in May of 2003 from Porsche collector and dealer David Mohlman. Shortly after its acquisition, a restoration was commissioned by RennSport Racing of New Orleans. The work was completed during 2004 and 2005. The work included an engine rebuild to its factory-correct 2.7-liter displacement, returning it to its factory-original Carrera RS 'narrow' configuration, and the mechanical systems were rebuilt and restored. The gearbox was rebuilt, proper brakes installed, and Grand Prix White Glasurit paint was used to refinish the exterior of the car, accented by factory-specified Green 'Carrera' lettering and matching wheels. The car currently rides on period-correct Pirelli CN36 radial tires. It has its correct bucket seats, lightweight door panels, and Glaverbel lightweight glass.
