I don't have my notes where I am, but I know I have Bob Bailey's SN# for one.
Where did 11810486 come from? Tony raced Herb's car #0429 in '69, at least at Daytona and probably the rest of the way (I don't have my notes).

../..1968 Porsche 911L Factory Built Racing Car —SOLD
Chassis No. 11810486
REQUIST A printable PDF document with Photos
One of three “Sport Purposes” 911 racing cars known to exist in the US and the only numbers matching car.
Full Concours Restoration.
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). Because it was raced only once this car has not been modified to stay competitive over the years like so many other racecars. 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.
Factory Options:
Rally Kit
Sport Kit 2
Limited Slip Differential
Airport Gear Set
Roll Bar
"Porsche" Side Decals
Lowered Special Koni Suspension
"R" Scheel Seats
Leather Wheel
Deletion of Undercoating
Deletion of Sound Deadening
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.

Ok, so it's Kelly's car. In those pictures it is car #21, because Bailey usually ran #22 (that's his burgundy car repainted in PART livery). #20 is #0429, which was new at Daytona, and was subsequently partially retubbed after wreck (grafted front from a 912). Tony never raced #0486. If I recall, Bailey shared his car with Locke. Therefore Kelly shared his car with 2 other drivers, one of which raced in just that race. I don't have their names with me, but the #20 car was obviously Tony A2Z, Herb W., and Bruce Jennings.
Early S Reg #1809
The pics I posted is wrong and have removed it from the thread.
There is a sreg thread on these L cars, and we would be very interested to get your additional data on those.

Some more details on something called a 911S GT-S --- see ST Man's post . . .
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...l=1#post671097
Perhaps some kind of interim competition model, built between the T/Rs and the STs? Love to see this Kardex . . . looks to be more extensively re-worked than just having a 'Sport Kit' of some sort fitted
Looking at the low VIN, I'm guessing that this car would've been built originally some time in the summer of '68 --- or possibly re-worked sometime thereafter . . . perhaps using a pre-production/Versuch number body?
The particular car here is . . .
VIN = 119300009
Production# = ?
Eng# = ?
Trans# = ?
More on 0009, as displayed at the 2013 Quail, here . . .

This vehicle appears to have aluminum front + rear bumpers --- as identified by the visible rivets . . . aluminum door skins --- ditto . . . and possibly aluminum fenders, front hood + engine cover. The alu engine covers were used on the '70-thru-'73 production cars. Alu bumpers have been rumored to exist --- but the alu fenders + front hood were only recently seen on, of all things, a FS thread, here on The Registry . . .
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...-body-parts-FS
Apart from some riveting of bracketry, these alu panels look virtually identical to the steel bits
There've also been some comments made about the possibility that GT-S cars used thinner gauge steel for some of their body panels, but . . . somebody'll need to take a long/close look at one of these cars to verify that. Meanwhile --- I'd love to get 0009 on a scale
Zero idea about production numbers. Apart from stripped-out equipment + the tell-tale riveting, there isn't much to distinguish such a vehicle from any other all-steel 911
