Keep in mind some originals don't even have an original body or frame. It's still an original though and in some cases worth millions. There are replicas out there that only an expert can discern. I actually don't know, but it sounds like Evan's old car could be one of them and perhaps that was the point CompClassics was trying to make.
Food for thought -

It is abundantly clear that some of you are determined to have the last word in this thread. However, just remember that Evan had the last laugh.

He who laughs last is the slowest thinker!
He is now the Porsche Owner's Club's problem. And I don't think they will be as tolerant as we were.

Haha, He bought a Porsche RS?
An Original RS or just a REAL1? 
The circle of life continues....
I'm glad to have met Even via this forum. He was fun, as long as you didn't take him (or yourself) too seriously. I wish him all the very best. |

The original air cooled '73 2.7 RS is the only REAL genuine authentic RS. Today's Porsches are water-cooled and made by VW/Audi.  |

Perhaps there is no notification of REAL status as it relates to a Porsche?
I mean, I can see him getting any 73 and then running around saying, "Look! It is real!"
What a wonderful concept "reality" is.
Hmmmm....

70 mph on a CA freeway sounds kinda slow---oh, wait, there was a CHP present? Yeah, that'll get people to slow down to 70.
I'm frequently on Hwy's 17, 85, and 280 and I go with the flow of traffic. I get passed regularly by drivers in the 80-95 mph range.
Article in the San Jose Mercury News last week about hwy 17 crashes at a 10-year high.

Great job Evan!
These cars have appreciated significantly. Surprisingly actually.
But don't get too cute with the capital gains................BB is watching.

Evan needs to get a hi-rez copy and blow it up, frame it and put it on the garage wall!

Too bad some people have the funds to purchase race cars, but lack the skills to actually use their capabilities.
Sure would love to see some videos of our former member actually lapping a race course in traffic in one of his "race cars". Just because you can buy a race car doesn't make you a race driver.
It's sad that some people's identities and egos are defined by what they own. Take away their "status symbols" and they revert back to being the "little fat kid that gets chosen last!"
Interesting that when we all called him out on his misrepresentation of his kit car to the general public he sells it. Once he was forced to accept it as a replica, it was no longer useful in plumping up his ego. Thus, it's gone.
Just thinking out loud. I'm probably wrong.

Wow, don't think out loud.
I believe you are dead wrong. I don't know Evan but his decision to sell had nothing to do with this website. He is a car guy, he moved on. He also appears to be very successful at whatever it is he does. God for him. From one awesome car to another.
