Can you buy a classic RS style duck tale for the 930/SC 1980's style 911s?
Have been looking but google seems to yield very little.
Worth talking to these people. Cheap g/f panels are are a false economy. Have been looking but google seems to yield very little.

I'm very happy with the fit of the SCRS bumpers I've just bought from these guys. Internally reinforced too, meaning they'll hold their shape well unlike some of the cheaper competition.
I recently purchased a 911 2.7 RS evocation. It is based on a 3.2 and is rust free and in concourse condition. It's guards red and yes it had RS badges. Of course I could take the badges and RS script off, but why should I? The car weighs more than the lightweight RS but less than the touring RS. It drives brilliantly and I love it. Unlike an original 2.7RS my car is used daily and kept outdoors! I drive it hard and although I don't want to scratch it, it's not the end of the world if I do. My car has the looks of an RS but with more power, better brakes, galvanised body and better ventilation. 911s have always been modified, Porsche themselves constantly modify their cars. Purity is fine, I understand the desire to keep a model exactly as it left the factory. I also understand that modified cars of all types can give their owners tremendous fun. I can't help think though that I am having much more fun with my lookalike RS than I ever could have owning a £300,000 and upwards genuine RS; although it would be a better investment!

Because it's not a RS? But it's your choice and I'm glad you're enjoying your old 911. FWIW I use my '73 911 quite a bit and whenever I stop for fuel (or even just in a traffic jam) people ask me what year it is. I'm glad I don't have a backdated car, as I'd have to launch into a complicated explanation as to why I wanted to make my more modern car look older every time.SS7

Sounds like an interesting car and one that I'd like to drive around in. Any Pics? madcaplaughs said:

I have to completely agree with this, I had one of the 8 original RHD lightweights, ran it when it had a very tired body and had great fun, then had it restored by porsche and it was perfect and I couldnt / wouldnt use it !! Sold it and built a replica that was better and faster which I didnt worry about Phib
