Bahia Red 1973 Porsche 911S

A Legend in Red: Photographing the Battle-Scarred Porsche 911S SCCA Racer

This Bahia red 911S was long term owned by an SCCA racer. Tons of history and documents made this a very special car, like the photos from 1980 of it racing in various SCCA events.

The car had obvious wear and tear, but it drove beautifully for the shoot and sounded absolutely awesome with the modified exhaust. These cars are becoming increasingly rare to find in good shape, and this one was worth every bit of the $143,000 hammer price.

I hope the new owner continues the tradition of racing this car in the future.

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
