Posted 9/27/2013: This Grand-Prix White 1975 Carrera was just recently imported into the US from Japan where it spent the majority of its life. It has been heavily modified for track use including roll cage, strut tower supports, RS door panels, reproduction ducktail, 73 RS style red decals and wheel finish, etc. Entire chassis was repainted at least once. Certainly not for the purist as even converting back will require significant investment to remove cage, source interior including recovering dash, tires and Fuchs, glass, and correcting details will take considerable funds even if just left in current Grand-Prix White color. However, this is quite fairly priced for someone who wants to just enjoy and use a 911 that originally came with a legendary RS-spec 911/83 MFI engine, supposedly numbers matching and original, might take a peek.
