Striking rarity and long-term ownership benefit this icon’s stunning presentation. Originally limited to 500 European Group 4 homologated competition cars, 1500 Carrera RS 2.7 chassis were produced in total. Under the rear decklid, flat-opposed power and a five-speed manual transaxle meet cross-drilled disc brakes and Pirelli Cinturato tires to offer a well-sorted and truly special 911. Sold with a Seller’s Disclosure, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and extensive service records, this collector-grade classic arrives ready for vintage motorsport or sublime Sunday drives.

Under previous ownership, a bare metal repaint was commissioned in the 1990s. Thorough verification and mechanical refurbishment was later completed by Precision Porsche Service of Spring Grove, Illinois in 2012. Overhauls of fuel and braking systems, a partial engine reseal, and leak-down/compression testing are further detailed alongside new door speakers, Dynamat insulation, Bilstein shock absorbers, and more. Prior chassis modifications are stated to include a Turbo tie rod kit, Turbo front brake calipers, upgraded sway bars, SSI heat exchangers, and 9” rear wheels. This car’s engine and transaxle are described as original to the vehicle, although a transaxle serial number is not present.
