It looks like light yellow (117) to me.

Yes, you are correct the RS is Light Yellow.

Cool to see such a low mile car, thanks for posting. Any idea what chassis # it is?

At the recent Parade in St Charles, IL Bob had a number of his cars there for us to enjoy. I had never seen a Gmund coupe before. Very special to say the least.

I had a chance to have dinner with Mr Ingram in Panama, and he is true car enthusiast, he will also tell you that it was his son Cam who got him interested in Porsche.
Dinner in Panama with a drug dealer? Did you eat anything?

Yep. They were fiberglass over a metal frame.

Most likely yes. Pirelli had a monoply on 60 series tires with the CN 36 when production of the RS began. In early '73 Dunlop responded and starting producing a 215/60 tire also so Porsche began putting them on, along with Pirelli, during the second series RS production. Altogether 2/3 of all the RS cars produced were equiped with Pirelli tires.
