Seller's eBay schtick . . .

. . . This is an auction for Peter Gregg's personal 1971 911S. I've owned the car for 23 years . . .

Peter was the legendary driver who established Porsche's dominance in North American sports car racing in the 70's. Among his many accomplishments, Peter won the IMSA GTO series in 1971 and 1973, and was a 4 time winner of the 24 hour Daytona, along with Porsche icon Hurley Haywood . . .

This vehicle includes the following important documentation:
Notarized letter dated January 15, 1996 from the late Bob Snodgrass (former 30 year president of Brumos Motorcars) attesting to Peter Gregg's ownership of the vehicle. Many cars were represented as Peter's car because he drove loaners from his dealership, but this was his personal registered car.

Way too bad. This is what happens when you have a car covered, especially in a humid climate, over time. Sad, sad, sad! Look at those sports seats. Years ago, I had a 356 covered in my parents yard in West Virginia for a matter of only a couple months. OMG ! thank goodness it was time to move it. During that brief time mold had already started to form and the clutch disk was stuck to the pressure plate..was able to break it loose but not easily since the car was at the bottom of a steep driveway...live and learn. Let's see what happens to this sad case? Thanks.

Regardless of who the previous owner(s) were, what a shame.

Were the Gregg estate to get 10% royalties for every car he sat in or "owned" might give the Elvis estate a run for the money.

Well said Tom.

Yikes! Poor car.
It will be pretty nice after someone dumps their bank account into the restoration.
A gold 2.2S would sure be sweet.
I'll be watching this one with a bag of popcorn.

Too bad he didn't realize he had a valuable car ten years ago :(

Also, I guess I forgot this little factoid but Sport Seats were standard equipment for an S in 1971, correct?

Interesting that the listed dealer is not Brumos , wonder why.
