Chassis 911330017 is a 1973 Porsche 911 S Coupe — among the last of the classic long-hood, thin-bumper generation before federalised safety regulations added weight and reduced power. One of the earliest examples imported to the United States that year, it is equipped with the 190 hp 2.4-litre Type 911/53 engine and Type 915 gearbox. Retained by its first owner in Kansas City for roughly two decades, it later received a comprehensive rotisserie restoration returning it to original Silver Metallic factory specification.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
