RS 197

Long story short....

My 3.0 RS clone is finaly complete. This is the 3rd time this car has been rebuilt. It started life as a 76 Turbo/ Murnerva Blue... Cover Of Excellence a few years back... It was R gruppe Car of the year in 2000 or 2001... The car was sold and wrecked soon after. Next a 77 Black Turbo tub was the donor. Rebuilt. Lastly I was wipped out in it on the way to the beach... Car pulled out in front of me. Done deal... 2 years later here it is.

Third time around 74 Carrera Chasis. Dropped in the seasoned 3.8 RS motor. ( 300 hp Varioram ) Gamroth Built sort geared 915. 930 Turbo Brakes, flares, original RSR 9's and 11's X 15's, RS interior. Total weight 2150. The car is a torque monstor and as fast as my GT 3.

Here are a few pictures. Say a little prayer for me. I am hoping this car is not cursed. The motor has been wrecked 4 times. Not ready for another..

I been looking for a new friend.........you'll do.
Ohhhh Sweet Mother of Mary!

I just placed the orange car as my background on the screen. Between that car and Jack Olsons black car I feel like polygamist.
Now if I can figure out how to split the wallpaper and have both cars on the screen, one for each eye, it will be like doin' twins......only better.

That is a beautiful car. My next addition to the stable is going to be an old 911 hot rod ! Your car will do just fine,, when can you ship it to TX ?

Everything but the chasis... Barrett sold it. Wrecked a week or two later. Then rebuilt on a Balck 77 Turbo Chasis... Then I bought , Wrecked it shortly after. Now it is Tangerine... Same drive train suspension etc...

I hope the thing is not cursed..

Like your hot rod by the way. I think I saw it at R gruppe a couple of years ago. Very nice.

Nice car. Instead of worrying about the past, I suggest you celebrate the present and have a christening. Pour a little wine on the bow, burn a little sage, have a little party with the guys who built her, and bless the car's future. Driver's Ed., or traffic safety course wouldn't hurt either, and might get you a reduction on your insurance.

The car is fine. Quite fine in fact. What you want to change is in your mind. Consider that this is not your old car, but a new chassis. Start referring to it as the 74 Carrera. That has a nice ring, doesn't it ?

Thanks for posting the pictures of your new Carrera. I love the toy shot.
