Keno Brothers Fine Automobile Auctions are honored to be able to offer one of the very first 911S’s to be imported into the USA in 1973. This was the 17th car built, making it one of the rare examples to have come from the factory with black bumperettes. A superb example restored from the ground up by Phil Bagley of Porsche Klub Sport Racing in Florida. This early 911S is ready to be a perfect driver or show-stopper. If you have been searching for one of the earliest 911S to be imported to the USA, here is one of the best.

THIS CAR’S PAST

1973 Delivered to its first owner in Leewood, Kansas. He then sold it to Dr. Hardtongue, in Wichita, Kansas.
1974 Dr. Bill Hardtongue in Wichita, Kansas owned it for more than two decades..
1990s #0017 showed up at a track with a roll bar and fuel cell. It is believed to have raced at only at 2 or 3 events.
2002 Danny Stewart from Tampa, Florida purchased 0017 and hoped to, some day, return it to its original condition. As the years passed by, Stewart realized he no longer had the time and sold the car to Keith Ennis.
2007 Keith Ennis, in Jupiter, Florida, undertook the project and began to turn the car back into a street car. He removed the roll bar and fuel cell and began the restoration. In his detailed report on his exploration of the 911, Ennis states that the car has never been cut up or hit. - * Quoted from the “early 911 registry.org”
2009 Phil Bagley from Klub Sport took the car over from Ennis and completely restored the car from the ground up. Phil states that the first cars did not have chrome bumperettes; they were delivered from the factory originally black. Phil also states the car had no rust and no sign of damage anywhere. Phil remarks that the car was about to be loaded on a truck, ironically, back to Wichita, Kansas, when the buyer changed his mind at the last minute and didn’t take it.

2012 Steve Serio of Aston Martin, Lotus of New England acquired the car.

Special thanks to Phil Bagley, from Klub Sport, for filling in the gaps in this car’s legacy.
