Finished in Grand Prix White (2201) contrasted with Blue Carrera side graphics, and a black leatherette and corduroy interior, additional options included headrests, rear apron, and Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio. According to notes provided by Bruce Canepa, this RS was imported into the US in the early 1980s, and is next known to have been in the ownership of longtime Porsche enthusiast Phil Bagley of Florida. Mr. Bagley is the proprietor of Klub Sport Racing and, in a recent conversation, fondly recalled this RS among several that he has owned. He eventually sold it to his friend and fellow racer, Joseph Gerard of Pittsburgh, in 1998. In 2013, the Porsche was purchased by Rick Jeffery through Canepa Design of Scotts Valley, California. Between 2014 and 2015, Mr. Jeffery embarked on a restoration of the RS, entrusting a number of respected marque experts in California to address myriad cosmetic items, while Canepa Design and PBR Restorations performed mechanical work. The RS was repainted in its original Grand Prix White, with a new windshield and rear window installed. The matching-numbers 2.7-liter flat-six engine was substantially rebuilt, while the Type 915 gearbox was refurbished and a new clutch and flywheel were fitted. The interior was refreshed by Autos International Inc. of Escondido, California, and its VDO instrumentation was restored by Palo Alto Speedometer»..
