So much missing stories on the net these days. We did minor work on this car when the local customer owned it. The tires on the mag wheels were old. He purchased a set of stock Cup wheels with new tires & decided to run them instead of mag wheels to avoid LA pothole nightmare. The mag wheels are in storage. No story or that's the story.
So it was sold with both sets? That is what I would do. I wish I kept a spare set of speedlines for my 3.6T. I had 6 sets NIB at one time. Oh well.
Nice but I would have preferred it as it was delivered in its original ClubSport street version. This car was used and cleaned up nicely but I don't see it bringing top dollar. Canepa has a nice black one for sale. https://canepa.com/photo-gallery/199...964-rs-385868/
Interesting question - because both cars have been modified over time. The Sport Fahrer 3.8RS book notes the RSR engine upgrade on the 497075 (red) car, and some changes in the seat back colors on the 497092 black car - as well as noting it's changed hands more than a few times.
If you were planning to drive your approx. $1.3M+ 3.8RS on track, that RSR engine might be appealing. IMHO.

Sorry too rich for my fun. That is what clones are for. Although when I am done with mine it will leave these trying to play catchup. I would want an RS for street driving but these are all going to collections or wealthy historic racers. I would prefer to have a stock one. I'll let you know when I win the lottery LOL.

Agreed. And frankly a 3.6RS is pretty damned similar (other than the narrow body) to a 3.8RS, for a million less.
Obviously a 3.6 RS is much more affordable for driving around.
There are over 1700 3.6 RSes out there, and only maybe 50 3.8 RS.
How much does a clone build save over a decent 3.6RS?
Anthony, what is your email? I just sent you a PM here on Rennlist but I want to send you some pics via email.

Got it and I apologize I read it before this and I now recall. LOL

All depends on how far you want to take it. A true clone would be quite pricey. You can make a close cosmetic 3.8 RS clone with a nice engine build more power and more modern suspension for $150k-$200k and have one heck of a ride.

It was merely an observation and not a diss on the car. Too bad BJ did not try harder to highlight such an awesome car, but I guess they did not have too judging from the selling price.
