George, what year was it when the lastest restoration started? 2015 is when it came to the body shop from South Carolina. Here is a picture, it was much worse than it looks here: Attached image(s) |

I believe that some of the cars were also built with 2.7 RS engines. --DD I wondered about that too and almost pointed it out, but I believe the truth is that all (except Brutus) shipped with 2.4 S engines and some were later retrofitted with 2.7 RS engines. Hoping one of the experts here will clarify. - MR |

none came with the 2.7 as of course it was not even available in 1972. However several went back to the factory and were retrofitted with the 2.7 engines.

I read somewhere else that several had gone back for retrofit to 2.7L RS (MFI) engines. - MR |

When you go to the Retromobile link, there is no listing of the cars that will be up for sale? Have also tried searching through Artcurial. Anyone know how to see the listing for Brutus and the rest of the auction?

George,
Thanks for this. The catalog has some great cars. The catalog would make a very nice coffee table book. Bob B |

I went to the Pete when the porsche display was there. Came a long way to see it but it was well worth it. Kids didn't want to stick around for the vault, and my wife asks where is the 914. We both figured there should be one teener. Had no idea that this was in the basement, probably my one and only chance to see it too. If I had to guess, 550k us.
P.s. I would love to have a poster of this car and specs for my wall. I doubt it exists tho |

April 2010, my how times have changed! And prior to that, it was available at dealership in San Fran. Late 2005 or early 2006? I believe the ask at the time was something like $175k, although I think it actually moved for more than that. Not certain on the precise details. Please feel free to correct me. if wrong. I briefly considered, but heard about it too late to seriously act. Scroll down in the link below to see the pics at the time. https://www.carsauto.com/1972-porsche-916-c-315.htm - MR |
