    I'll quote a line from one of the smartest guys in the hobby I have the privilege to call a friend.

    "It's a $10,000 parts car".

    I have been a Peter Gregg and Brumos fan for many years. Lots and Lots of Peter Gregg cars out there... He drove what he wanted at any given time. Those cars were not registered in his name. Very interesting Provenance to this specific car. Yes... Lots of Rust... Yes.. Motor will need rebuild...Yes.. It will need a full restoration....Deservedly so..... I really like the unusual gold color and the non sunroof.... wish it had the sporto trans as Peter was a big fan.... None the less... I will restore the car back to it's original condition. I have a few friends at Brumos and will try to get them involved...... More to come. Tate

    I would love to see the title documented showing Peter as the registered owner..I was a Porsche Dealer for 26 years and met Peter and Bob at meetings, they were both smart business men.. Dealers had no reason to register cars in their own names as they have the ability to drive on trade/dealer plates..plus it takes the car from being sold on a manufactures certificate and thus making the second owner the buyer of a used car...

    . . . 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.
    Original Owners Manual registered to Peter Gregg
    Maintenance Record

    Rare 1971 911S model
    Matching numbers 2.2 liter engine
    Matching numbers smoother shifting 901 "pull-type" transmission.
    Original factory air conditioning.
    Factory Recaro Sport seats.
    Although currently black the car came in an unusual OE gold color and has paint code plate to confirm
    Non-sunroof car
    Have original Mechanical Fuel Injection (MFI) included in auction.

    Condition
    You've heard of the original barn find, well this a yard find. I've owned the car for 23 years and it's been undercover in backyard for the last 10 years.
    It is in need of a full restoration. Pan rust is present along with rear torsion bar sheet metal, passenger side footwell pan, rockers, and typical surface rust.
    Air conditioner compressor not included. Aftermarket fiberglass rear whale-tail and front spoiler, OE parts not available. Although car includes the rare Recaro Sport seats, interior carpeting, headliner, gauges, dash will all need to be redone . . .

    This unique car represents a one of a kind opportunity given Peter Gregg's importance in Porsche history. Please feel free to call me at 410-960-0442 if any questions, I'm here to provide any information you need about this unique car . . .

    I would view this thread with skepticism..I was a Porsche dealer in 1973 and have knowledge of Peter's operation...There is a recent well researched piece in Triple 0 publication on the cars that peter enhanced, in '72 and '74. Some were his demonstrators and a couple were built upon request by favorite customers. Peter built one, 0922 ( recently sold at Amelia ) that he drove for almost 6000 miles and then sold it to Dr Morgan a gifted reconstruction surgeon, trading back the 916 Peter had sold him. The car was fitted with documented factory flairs and and an RS aluminum framed rear deck, along with suspension and engine upgrades. It was the first to carry the Brumos racing strip, which subsequently Bob Snodgrass claimed credit for designing, which is not factual. The invoice showing a different dealer might be correct as this may have been a dealer swap, the hand written additions are suspect, as normally the Monroney Label was fitted by the Imported and dealers would affix a supplementary label for additional added items...Autofair

    Thanks for your input Autofair. Nothing Skeptical at all about this wonderful car. Fully Documented by Brumos. Letters from Snodgrass as well. This was not a customer car.....this was his personal car.
    Yes. Long Studs and 7R wheels were added per his request. Also painted Headlight rings. Lots and lots of Original Documentation. Car was sold to his good friend and Racer Roger Overby who drove the
    car for years. Then sold to a gentleman in the northeast who owned it or 23 years until my ownership. Car is currently under restoration. Just wanted to share the cool photo of the car with Peter and Simon.
    Thanks, T

    Picture of Gregg's 71S with front AC condenser reminds me of another 71S that came from Brumos with same. Very early condenser placement I believe. Car I owned was Blood Orange and now belongs to a member, I think.

    Interesting to see the painted headlight rims
