Brutus is soon on its way to Paris for the retro automobile extravaganza and will be featured in the auction there. Some lucky person or organization will be the new owner
https://www.retromobile.com Here are some interesting facts provided by its present owner: The folowing are some important dates of history for the documentation of Brutus : Original service date per Kraftfahrzeugbrief is February 11. 1971 with registration license LEO ZC1 Brutus was owned by Porsche and driven by Corina Piesch until the car was sold on April 29, 1974 to Colonel Robert E. Hartvigsen for 27,500 DM Brutus remained in Germany with Colonel Hartvigsen and was returned to the Porsche factory in late 1977 for a engine and transmission rebuild together with suspension rebuild and other repairs . An 5 page Porsche factory invoice dated January 19, 1978 outlines the factory rebuild at a total cost of 12,649 DM. It is believed that in April 1978 Brutus was exported by the Colonel( who had been discharged from the military with the completion of his duty ) to America . The importation and registration documentation would indicate that on June 23 1978 application was submitted for importation approval to the Department of Transportation in Washington DC USA. The approval was granted and the first American registration was granted in October 1978. Brutus remained with the Colonel until his passing and was then stored for many years before being purchased and completely restored by the current owner. Brutus has been displayed at Amelia Island Concours Porsche Noth America Headquarters Atlanta Ga Petersen Museum Special Porsche Collection Los Angeles , California Feature story in Porsche Panorama Magazine |

We saw Brutus over at the Pete last month...NOT upstairs with the "Porsche Effect" among the other real bitchin examples of P cars; but downstairs in the Petersen Vault. The vault is a mish-mosh of oddities, the 916 (dusty, looking unkept) was there parked in a dark corner wedged in between sedans. The Docen verbally reminded us that you may not take photos, nor walk past the front bumper of the 916. He was very helpful with his 916 knowledge; I never knew that it was 8 cyl powered (he wouldn't listen to reason) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) So I did get an eyeful of it, even dusty it is a Gem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I was accompanied by a good friend that currently owns Sonauto # 40 9146gt; a few of his past cars were Kremer 935, 906, 924 gtr...so he was especially surprised by the Darwinian tour guide's lack of smarts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I wonder if they used a Scheel 114 seat as the basis as I seem to remember it also had a similar bottom?

Since this is the latest thread on this car (prior ones linked below), and I did not see it mentioned...
I am wicked behind on magazines, had a foot-high-plus stack next to the dresser. Since absolutely nothing is going on at work today, decided to catch up. And what do I see in the August 2018 issue of Porsche Panorama? A full-length article on Brutus. Well done with nice pics.

Had the rare opportunity to take pictures at Peterson in the vault. Unfortunately I was unable to get any better pictures than this as it was stuffed back in a corner and we were not allowed to walk between cars. But none the less saw it in person and will likely never see it again. We arrived late to the tour due to the wonderful LA traffic and went about snapping pics with no real time to talk with docents. Glad this thread was posted and appreciate GregAmy taking the time to list the other threads for handy reference.
