I wonder where in its racing career did the car lose its door window vents ?

Dave,
it is difficult to read…but for me the „s HM VK-EX-Ha“
the „s“ looks for me like „&“ as it is not coherent with the „s“ typo written before.
VK-EX might be really „Verkauf Export“ sales export,
HM had been already and before defined as „Haus Mitteilung“
Black Market, well still, …a car cannot appear on the black market, it would then be a stolen object, and this would not been notified in the kardex…and a swb has not had a gems value, doesn‘t it?
trading defines more or less „gray market“ as items being sold without consense of the factory, but with unofficial knowledge.
really a difficult kardex to decipher

Ok, this is my mistake. I should have looked at that period picture more closely. You are right in that it is not the same car. The "77" in the black and white picture I posted is BIG 77 before it had the flares. Bruce raced that car in that narrow body configuration in several races. Obviously the car in that photo is a 1969. Shame on me for not catching this, especially as I know both of those cars really well in having been around them for years. I'll dig up a period photo of LITTLE 77 and post it here. I just spoke with Phil and he has several. Sorry for the confusion.
As a side note, when BIG 77 was flared, Bruce also added 1968 window frames with the opening vent windows. The car retains those very pitted vent windows today.

The Revs Institute has a few pictures of the Jennings car from the 1968 Bryar and Bridgehampton races.
Let me know if this isn’t 11800876, and I’ll delete the photos to avoid confusion.

That most likely is it, though I have not seen those pictures before. That is a '68 and Bruce's other SWB car was a 1967.

This car #18 also shows up about 6 minutes into this YouTube video on the 1968 Trans Am races at Limerock and the Bryar race at Loudon. The Ralph Meaney 911 #94 is also shown shortly after.

Not a good day. I think this is one of Bruce's cars.

Hey Adam. I think that is the yellow and black 77 1967 911S that he raced with Michael Keyser. It was caught up with the Ferrari at Watkins Glen.

Looks like the ‘68 in the same garage shot to the right. You can just make out the very front of the drivers side fender and the Goodyear decal.
