The 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, built during the first homologation run of 500 cars, was originally delivered to Brazil in Light Ivory with an extensive factory options list. It spent most of its life in South America, including roughly two decades with father-and-son restorers in São Paulo who undertook a full rebuild. After import to the United States in 2006, it passed through several American owners before receiving further refreshing work to improve both performance and presentation.
