Yeah, and it weighed about 2000 lbs or less as I recall. One of the
magazines did a retro road test on one and found they could do small
wheelies going into 2nd gear!

If it really is an R car it has plastic side windows and thinner sheetmetal
than a normal 911. I believe it also has twin plug cylinder heads. The only
made a very few of these R cars(circa 25, I think). They were definitely
thinly disguised race cars. This is my dream 911. If it is a 911R, and for
some reason you don't want to/can't buy it, please let me know!!
But as far as problems go, yes, rust is the major one and parts are
expensive. Even though the exhaust system is only about 2 feet long it will
cost upwards of $1500 to replace..that is assuming you go with stainless
steel heat exchangers and an original style muffler.
