There are numerous racing Porsches that have somehow slipped “under the net” as far as the general public being aware of how great they were (and still are). Chassis number 911 460 9029 is one of them.

911 460 9029 was one of the fabled RS 3.0 Carreras that took the Porsche GT rallying and racing world by storm when it first appeared in late 1973. They were built by the factory from October of 1973, although most were delivered to their new owners in early 1974.
