I think the only person that can answer that is from a small group of guys including Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, and a few others.
cool pics though.
I don't know why those guys would care. They really only buy special or unique cars. Autofarm would be a good one to ask. They have restored hundreds of real RSes.
I think the value would depend on the car. 1st, 2nd or 3rd series? Original color, options? History? Other than burning, are the panels original? Has it been confirmed that it is a real RS and not a re-stamped fake. All important factors. To make it worth $500k, you'll need to spend $250k minimum, so there is not a lot of headroom.
This one appears to be real. Has a COA and insurance company is currently investigating the fire.
Not sure about series, but was built in April 1973. Seller claims this was the first of only three originally imported into the US from Porsche factory, and the only one in black.
The car was all original except for one repaint. Matching engine/trans.
Options include: Porsche Options:
102 Heated rear window
409 Sport seats left and right leather
423 Driver side outside mirror
441 Electric antenna with four speakers
482 Engine compartment lighting
549 Belts 3 points left and right
569 Shock bumpers
Additional rear apron
Engine compartment light
3 Point seat belts
Rear bumper with impact protection
Dunlop tires
History:
Came into St. Louis port and was delivered to it first owner who owned a dealership. Owned until the 80s then sold to a collection in Japan. In the 90s went to a collection in France. Then a US dealer bought it and resold back in US.
Register it in Texas for a day....like my Sister in Law did with her 996 before it shipped to HI. Totalled car from New Jersey arrived in Hawaii as pure as the wind driven Hawaiian snow.
I guess the question is how much % reduction does a salvage title result in, for a collector's production (not race) 911? Given the damage, and the fact that the cost of NOS parts, asssuming that you could get them, the reduction in value would probably be close to 50% because only the shell would be original. And where would you get thin metal body parts, which were characteristic of the 'RS?

Wouldn't those only be on a lightweight and not a touring variant?
^ You could be right. I thought the touring version had different glass and door cards with armrests, but it's been so long I can't really recall exactly.

holy God. i'll go for the low hanging fruit; car needs to go either back to the factory, or to a very serious badass prepared to spend some seriously dedicated collector's money. ....title ain't not biggie. someone with very deep pockets will make her whole again. why? some mixture of;
they feel it's their duty.
it's deep blue hero stuff.
they'll get to go on tv, be written in the enthusiast mags, and speak in a soft voice about how totally rad they are.
my notes say:
The following parts are thin metal (0.7 or 0.8 mm)* on the first 500 RS and RS Touring:
Front fenders
Front hood
Rear quarters
Door skins - frame from production
Back seat area
Door sills
Trunk Lid ((1.3 kg lighter)
Trunk floor
Top of dash (under the dashpad)
Instrument panel
Roof (2.7 kg lighter)
This would be a third series edition, thinner gauge sheetmetal only found on homologation
or first 500 units.
It real , it's badass , and it's fantastically damaged , only those with sufficient gonad size and appropriate wallet dimension need apply ...

Burned Genuine '73 Carrera RS, salvage title- what's it worth?
