    Marek, your response still leaves me with a big question. If Freisinger did not purchase this blank chassis plate part, fine, but why would he have 100s of these same NOS parts with a blank chassis number? And what would he do with these? He may have legitimate need for one or two to repair a wrecked car occasionally (with proper disclosure of a restamped Vin number, as it is a felony in Germany to improperly restamp a Vin number), but to have 100s or even dozens to use, it only leaves me to have a suspicion that someone might be up to no good.

    RACE HISTORY :

    - 1972 Tour de France Auto, car driven by Claude Ballot-Léna, car n°111, hight butterfly engine 2.5L 280ps

    - Sold back in 07/1973 to Sonauto
    - Practice car of Guy Chasseuil ( Sonauto Driver ) for the 74’ season.
    - 1973 Tour Auto - Écurie Sonauto BP Sponsor

    Forgotten for years, the car always stayed in France. The car was rediscovered in 2012 largely modified and civilized. Start a complete restoration, putting it back to its period conformity of the 1972 Tour Auto with a 2.5L. The car still has its Hellgelb color which is the color of SONAUTO, and its alloy identification plate is still original. This incredible authentic an unique car, definitely the most glorious French 911, just ended its restoration thanks to the «savoir-faire» and the large experience of Franco Lembo in Classic and Racing Porsche’s.

    In 1973, the car is bought by SONAUTO because the importer delivers to its successful driver the famous Psychedelic 2.8 RSR chassis 360 1497. So in 1973, as attested by a copy of the registration document, the car is sold by Buchet to SONAUTO where it was used by their works driver Guy Chasseuil as a practice.

    During the 1973 Tour Auto, SONAUTO rents the car sponsored by BP and will be engaged under the number 99 with Marie-Odile Desvignes at its wheel and Brigitte Carrier, still registered 293 LX 86. SONAUTO sells the car in 1976 to Mr. Curnin from Paris who keeps it until 1984, when the car goes to Strasbourg. And finally, from 1987 to 2012, the car is in the hands of a same owner in Sarrebourg, still in France.

    The car will be delivered with all copies of the french documents, press article, old racing pictures and thousand pictures of his restoration.

    The French importer SONAUTO decided at this time to invest in competition and entrusted the heavy task to Robert Buchet to build and assist the race cars. So, the Parisian company entrusted a recent used car taken from its stock, a green 2.2 E, registered for the first time in September 1971.

    Buchet fully disassembled and sent it to the Weissach the racing department of the factory for a complete 2.3 ST preparation. To note that in 1971, the famous Germans wheels Fuchs in forged alloy did not exist, so the car drove with Minilite wheels at the back. To honor one of his main sponsors, the car was equipped with the famous iodine Cibié. The car aligned at the start of the Tour de France Automobile on September 17th 1971 with Ballot-Léna and J-C Moreno under the number 129 and registered 293 LX 86. They finished at an incredible 3rd place overall just behind 2 prototypes: the Matra of Larousse and the Ferrari 512M of Jabouille.

    Claude Ballot-Léna had a long 30-year racing career, mostly at the wheel of Porsches. He won the 1969 24 Hours of Spa in a 911, the 1983 24 Hours of Daytona in a 935 Turbo, and entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans 22 times with a general podium in 1977 and 7 victories of his class.

    Dealer's Description:

    THE PETER GREGG / BRUMOS TRANS AM & IMSA CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING CAR

    Porsche developed the 1973 911 RSR as a pure racing evolution of the 2.7 RS Carrera only 49 were built in the Factory Racing Department after development of the
    R-numbered experimental pre-series. Above and beyond the production RSRs Porsche produced the highly developed works Martini liveried cars in Europe and in America the Brumos cars for Peter Gregg.
    This included larger diameter shock towers to allow the fitment of the new titanium coil-over racing dampers and give the chassis more strength. Body panels including the roof and doors were made from a thinner gauge steel and a more powerful 3.0 litre engine became available during the season.
    The authenticity of the car been confirmed by several Porsche experts including Jürgen Barth, it has a current F.I.A. passport and has run in major historic racing events all over Europe for the past few years. It would be welcome in the CER championship, Tour Auto and the Le Mans Classic.
    2.8 RSR 911 360 0727 arrived in the US in April 1973 for delivery to the Jacksonville, Florida based Brumos team to be driven by Peter Gregg. It had been specially built by the Porsche factory for Brumos to win both the IMSA and Trans-Am series which were extremely popular both with the racers and the fans. Porsche had realised that there was huge marketing potential there and did whatever was needed for Brumos and Gregg to go home with the trophies.
    The Porsche Racing Department built 2.8 RSR chassis number 911 360 0727 to the same specification as the R-Series and Martini Works RSRs giving a substantially stiffer chassis, less weight and a more powerful 3.0 litre engine with mechanical injection and slide valve throttle bodies.
    The results speak for themselves. Peter Gregg and Brumos won both the IMSA and the Trans-Am series in 1973 with #0727.
    Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood were the class of the field but the serious advantage they had with the uniquely prepared Brumos RSR was paramount. In thanks for the great results achieved by Peter Gregg Porsche sold him RSR 911 360 0727 at the end of the season for just one Dollar.
