eBay Listing: 1973 Porsche 911 RSR/ST Backdated Recreation “Driving is a holy endeavor”, a phrase we ponder every time we hear a recent car commercial. But for us sacredness in terms of driving, doesn’t necessarily involve North America, or even a domestic car. For us the most holy place to drive a car is wherever there are higher speed limits, where you can redline a gnarly, tire-shredding beast of a car and induce your own fear of speed. If you have a need for speed, Germany’s autobahn might be the place for you. We realize that nowadays there are some speed limits on that expressway, that congestion is becoming reality, and that the ability to redline a Porsche 911 like this one in top gear might be unrealistic. But you have to shoot for the moon to dance among the stars or in this case in the cars. The Porsche 911 is an icon of automotive design. And over the years it has transformed, time and time again, to become one of the ultimate driving machines. But in many ways, like its predecessor the 356, and its predecessor the Volkswagen Type I or Beetle, it is the type of vehicle that continuously morphs bit by bit to progress towards the latest great model. Today we are looking at a backdated 1973 Porsche 911. If you ask any true Porsche fanatic what years of the 911 are currently the most collectible they’d say 1965-1973, as the most early, pure, simple, and also original Porsche 911s. This 1973 911 has 265 horsepower at the engine crank, and in a car that weighs just 2,400 pounds, it is a heck of a power to weight ratio. According to the seller, “it has gobs of torque and accelerates hard.” While the car looks mean and ready to do battle on the track, the sports car is a mixture of a track and street car, because not everyone spends their daily commute to work on the winding corners of Laguna Seca. However just by looking at the quality of workmanship that went into building this car, it is evident that at one time or another, this was someone’s pride and joy. Which led us back to that original statement, restated, if “driving truly is a holy endeavor,” would you want to waste another second behind the wheel of a typical mundane family sedan that doesn’t fulfill your need for speed? Or, would your rather raise some holy hell with a rebel behind the wheel of this Autobahn burning 1973 demon of a Porsche 911? The choice is up to you, but if you have the means we strongly suggest you bid on this ultimate example of a carefully built and backdated 1973 Porsche 911, while you still can because before you know it, it will be gone.from eBay Motors Blog http://ift.tt/1ymuSPb
