1973 3.0 CS FS in California

VIN 2240726 - this car had a build date of 4-6-73 and lived in Chicago in 1989 - then moved to Virginia Beach, VA. didn't have any newer info since the early 90s ... so now we see it in 2026 in California.
 
With wide outer fascia vent with April build date. Both of my coupes were May with narrow vent in preparation for the 74 impact bumpers.
 
Dear all,

I’m the very happy new owner of this beauty! When I inspected the records that came with the car today, I was totally blown away by how Roger had maintained an impeccable record of the car. Thank you Roger!!

The car now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and I will do everything I can to preserve this timeless classic. In fact, if anyone has a recommendation on local mechanic or restoration specialist, please let me know.

I’m still learning but I have been following every BAT auction of E9 in the past 4 years so I’m extremely grateful to join this community.

hi all, i bought this car from a gentleman in CT in 2016. He had purchased from a collection in CA after the owner had passed. I refreshed the suspension, ordered custom Hardy and Beck wheels, refreshed engine bay and did some
minor cosmetic fixes (headline around sunroof, new foam in seat bottoms and gentle touch up of wear marks), a few minor mechanical improvements. She ran perfectly. i sold in 2020. Great to see her show up again. i’m an early 911/ R-Gruppe member and she was too perfect and original to drive the way we do.
i still have a triple weber set up and daddywad manifolds and Alpina airbox. i didn't want to destroy the originality once we were able to fix the mechanical issues.

Congrats on your new purchase! What was the asking price?
 
Congratulations, Ricky! Welcome to the forum and to coupe ownership! Your car looks incredibly beautiful! I especially love your Hardy and Beck wheels. I just had a set made for my '73 which is just a few cars earlier than yours (VIN 2240697). What sort of restoration or mechanical work are you looking for? From the photos it is hard to see that it needs anything....

Mike

Change your spark plug wires and your interior door handle position are 2 easy and smart things to do.

The wheels are awesome…
