A genuine 1973 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS Touring Coupé (chassis 911 360 0351), originally delivered in Bright Yellow and currently wearing Blood Orange paint. Built as one of the extended production run that enabled Group 3 homologation, this example was specified from the factory with sports seats, an electric sunroof, and a left antenna with loudspeaker. It has since been fitted with a later engine and prepared for fast road or non-FIVA competition use, with documented ownership history extending back to 1984.

Maintenance & restoration

  1. Modification

    The original engine was replaced with a later unit dating from 1979, and the car was subsequently set up for fast road driving and/or competition in events not governed by FIVA regulations.

    The catalogue does not indicate when this engine swap took place or who carried out the work.

  2. Inspection

    A technical inspection by a recognised specialist was carried out, confirming the car's authenticity; the report is in German and held on file.

    The specialist is described as 'noted' but is not named in the catalogue.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
