True, but it's a genuine 916 and there aren't many data points. Apologies if the point was unclear.

that was the old Jerry Leonard car, and I agree, no real providence except being a 916. Think that the Peter Gregg Brumos car we has some though

Even though I kinda mentioned something toward that earlier up...I still found myself chuckling at a casual comment about a friggin teener going for "only $330,000"... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I thought the described "body off restoration" misnomer was the gaffe.

You guys are funny fellas. As if being a genuine 916 isn't special enough. Agreed that Brutus is a truly unique example of a very rare model. Auction results will be very interesting.

BTW I read the "author's opinion article". Almost all of those prices seem wildly optimistic to me, but hey - just my opinion.

Sorry for disturbing your dreams but did anybody see the RSR engine? On the pics there are only MFI or carb engines. No twin spark, no megaphones – no output. Is the engine still in process?

Well it is Monday Feb 4 and we are leaving for Paris later today, please wish Brutus luck in his auction to "fetch" the highest price of any 914 ever, if so it will certainly benefit all of us 914 owners.

So I will be off the phones for ten days, if you need me just e mail.

Same question they are asking on the Hemmings Motors comments section (online ) a couple days ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

So George, if a USA person wins the bid price...does this car come back to the states with a bill of sale, Stateside duty fees, or does it still retain the title/ pink slip (note: simple title transfer) from the USA owner that is selling this car in France??

it will come back duty free, Marty. Also the import duties have been paid in Europe so the European buyer will not suffer either.

Funny that importation duties have been paid prior to knowing what the value of the car is. Given the pedigree/history, loopholes must have been found.
