WHAT IS THIS CAR?

Velocity Yellow 1974 911 RS, Built from a straight rolling chassis, 930 turbo metal flares. No rust anywhere on this car. Completely sorted out prior to painting January 2009. 1980 SC motor rebuilt by Tom Amon (40 year veteran Porsche mechanic). DUCK TAIL, red roll bar, Sunroof, 74 Tranny gearing, mechanical speedo. Custom built for the sporty look that is so classic. Aero Mirrors, Minimal graphics, not over done. (Economy in California forces sale – I love everything about this car – it’s gritty, no nonsense, driver dream).

It’s not 100% polished, but has that edge that is lacking in every other car I have owned. It’s mean, plenty of power, but demands your attention. A pleasure to drive daily, but weekend thriller. It’s got that slightly ‘un-civilized’ feel. It’s not tame. You have to respect the car. “It’s that throaty roar and rumbling CAMs that make the personality of this car truly irresistible!!”

OWNER’S NOTES:

This car is not a garage queen. It gets driven almost daily in Sacramento. It’s got a 3.0 Liter and Tom or any other Porsche guy will verify for you that if you want reliable, rock solid transportation in a 911, you get the 3.0 Liter, with CIS. That is what it has. It’s basically bullet proof. You can drive it hard all the time, and it just begs for more. It’s not a delicate machine. It’s built to last.

At first glance, I had this mistaken for a CTR Yellowbird, but on close inspection, this car certainly has its own unique cache. Placing a value is always difficult on cars that are built to spec like this, but the asking price is close to a level where this should certainly draw some interest to the right parties, whether they are looking to take it to the track or press it into service on the street.
