Well, how about this?

For truth in advertising, the car currently has a 1974 2.7L motor installed and is classified in PCA Club Racing as a 1974 911S. However, I am in the process of taking a 1973 911T MFI motor and rebuilding it as a spec 1973 911S motor. This will bump me from D (Prepared) to E, but I also get to remove another 50 pounds while going UP from 175 HP to 190!

Great! I think the '73 is perhaps the greatest model year for Porsche 911.

Toby-What wheel size will you have to run to be classified as a '73S? What about the flares?

See my avatar for why I ask...

Club Racing rules allow me to run 7x16 up front and 9x16 out back. The Carrera flare is on the rear.

The've skyrocketed in value. I bought mine for $16k in 2000 and made money on it when I sold it 4 years later. But, I sold too early (went up most quicky in the last few years).

I love the 73s. They are my favorite of all 911s. Would live to have one in signal yellow. A few years back I ran into a guy that was the original owner of a targa S. After a bit of time he passed away and his son drove it for awhile then sold it for $6000. I did not buy it because it was a flood victim and in the short time of the son owning it it went to hell.
