Another Factory Trans Am car found. Pictures needed

[Rennman]

I have been fortunate to buy another Factory TA car. This one an Aga Blue 67 (not an S). It was built with Rally Kit, Sport Kit, Roll bar, 100 liter, LSD with short gears, Talbo mirrors ect. It raced in 67 and 68 by Bernt Leckow and is pictured in the Trans Am book on pages 146 and 147 as #91 with a yellow hood and number roundels. These are the only racing pictures that I have seen so far and was hoping that someone may have more. Curt any chance? I will post some pictures on my site once it is cleaned up. Thanks.

From KZ Motorsports website about Bob Bailey's 68 911L (0482) :


"1969 - Race No. 7: On August 3rd at St. Jovite, Quebec, Peter Gregg’s (59) Porsche 911 leads Gordon Dewar’s (47) AMC Javelin, Bernd Leckow’s (91) Porsche 911, Guy Roy’s (61) Camaro, Scottie Adchinson’s (51) Porsche 911, Bob Bailey’s (52) porsche 911L, Bruce Norburn’s (17) Porsche 911, and Bruce Jennings (71) Porsche 911 away, as the middle of the pack falls in during the parade lap. At this point the 911L was white with a blue stripe after being campaigned in with the Porsche Team of America at Daytona and Sebring in early 1969."


I just checked the old SCCA results for this race ..."Disqualified : Bernd Leckow / Porsche 911 / illegal engine".

The chassis is 308 162, options from the window sticker 9208, 9552, 9535, 9499, 9574, 9268, 9131, 9132, 9159, 9592, 9591. Interestingly there was a $500 charge for increased horsepower for engine. The window stickers were typed in the US. It will be interesting to see the Kardex info. The car retailed for $7,622! I have a letter from Porsche dated 67 that states 148 hp? Thanks for the photo. It is one that is in the TA book.

Don,

What goes with each option number?

[Rennman]

John,

I have the sticker back in my office. I can coordinate the numbers with the options after the weekend. I beleive they are all in the Sports purpose book.

That was one expensive 911, I think that the most high zoot 427 Cobra in period was less.

Don, I would love to hear about how you found this car. I'm sure that lots of others here would, as well.

9208 US approved lap belt

not sure on 9159 not on any of my lists. I first thought it may have been the foot rest / dead pedal but that is 9563
