Default OT: An Interesting Carrera 2.7 RS Story...

I've been doing some reading on the early 911 cars and seeing certain similarities between them and our 993s...

This particular story involves a long forgotten Carrera RS Lightweight and is told here:

I was offered that car when I was membership director of GGR in either 99 or 00 by a family member who lived locally. Literally looked me up looking for any help. Logistics were unimaginable. And as my friend had bought a really nice RS maybe 2 years earlier for $25K, there didn't seem to be any upside.

Was glad to see the car got out when I was first alerted to the story.

Great story! I enjoyed reading it. Falls into a whole new class of 'barn find'.
