This 911 was one of a small batch of "Sport Purpose” 911 racing cars built by the factory in 1968 to compete in the SCCA Trans Am and B Sedan races. SCCA Champion John Kelly purchased this car new and kept it for over 37 years. The car was raced once by Kelly in an SCCA event, which he won (the tech sticker is still on the car).

It retains it’s original engine and gearbox and is in proper period specification. The car comes with extensive documentation, books and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.

Kelly Ordered this car through Heishman’s Porsche in Virginia for his racing effort. Shortly after taking delivery John was hired to drive Triumphs for Group 44. John used the car sparingly over the years. In the Mid 1990s the car was prepared for Vintage Racing. John’s wife Susan Miller raced the car until selling the car in early 2005. The car comes with the vintage race logbook.

Background
A very small batch of these “Sport Purpose” 911Ls were imported in 1968 for SCCA Trans Am and B Sedan Racing. These cars were sold as racecars and not intended for the street although they were streetable. In Europe these same cars were used for all types of rallies and for road racing.

These cars were built after the 911R and before the 911ST and are actually much more rare. There are THREE Known to exist in the U.S. This car is the ONLY Survivor that still retains it’s original components and is the BEST Example.
