First Wash in 42 Years: BARN FIND 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS With 18,000 Original Miles!

For 42 years, this 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 — the holy grail of air-cooled 911s — slept in a dusty French chateau carriage house. Finished in Grand Prix White with the legendary red Carrera script and ducktail spoiler, with only 18,000 original miles on the clock. Watch the full resurrection at Reverse Station: from the first crack of the carriage house doors, through the unbelievable first wash, a complete teardown, Grand Prix White respray, full 2.7 flat-six rebuild, and the moment the flat-six fires for the first time in four decades. Then: an alpine road test worthy of the RS badge.
