It was at Canepa, but now there is no mention of it on Facebook or there website. Then mysteriously a black 916 is currently being restored at Patrick Motorsports…. Could it be Brutus?

No he's still alive.

Interesting- I'm stopping by Canepa tomorrow morning on the way (or should I say a little out of the way) to rennsport so I'll look for it. I believe it was at Patricks for a while and I should have gone at looked at it then.
Even though Canepa will have a lot already at Laguna his shop should be a great place to visit!

Wasn't the Brutus car At Auto Atlanta with Dr 914 (George) ? A Redo of some sort. A Rebuild, a paint and Restoration, no? Then the car was sold at auction for a bit of money, and now it's going back for another full restoration, I take it. Why? Because the people were unhappy with the quality of the previous restorations? This was the prototype of the 916 cars and is kind of priceless.

Inquiring minds want to know.

The car is in the back part of the workshop, not the section below the viewing area.

A friend of mine was at Canepa a couple days ago. There is a black 916 on their board of cars in the shop being worked on. He had posted a picture of the board and the picture of the car.
