Here are a few photos from last weekend. I found a few teeners around the area but none in the paddock area at the track or participating in the Historics. Anyone seen this car around? I took the picture over the fence in the auction.

The black car in the first does look like the $70,000 car which was for sale in Sarsota FL. Here is a picture I took of it at Sebring. I heard that it had been finally sold.

I would say the seller of silver 916 look-like is trying to cash in on the real 916. If you remember the real Brumos 916 is owned by Dr. 914 himself, G. Hussey.

The sign in the window is a tease.

Ferg, Yep, Had a great time. Took lots of off topic car photo's. I was hoping I'd get a call on the cell from any of the club crew in the area. I'm not sure when I'll be back out that way. We arrived home at 2:00 am monday morning and bought lake property on Monday at 10:00 am. I'm going to be locked in here for a few years nows!

Some years ago AA had a 916 clone for sale that looks identical to the silver car. I suspect they created it-not Brumos.

was curious, had to call about the brumos car 916 replica...

is not built from an original /6

is a 2.2S conversion with approx 3k miles on rebuild

brumos built the car sometime around '80, which is apparently right before peter gregg's death?

full documentation saying brumos built it and peter gregg owned it.

AA bought the car when they bought the real 916 and did another restoration (new paint, interior, etc, etc).

car was originally red and was dipped (not sure if he meant red when new or red from brumos).

fiberglass flares.

says it is near show car condition.

current owner has it about 2 years and is flexible on the price, said he wants to move it.

I spoke with the guy about the 916 about a month ago! He was asking 32.5K for it then and was very firm sounding. I was going to go and look at it but I have been to busy! It sounds like a very nice car! He did tell me it was Brumos built and seemed very knowledgable on the history of the car. And expressed an interest in trading for my factory 6!

Why does he call it a 916 "C"? Is that for convertible? :-) It doesn't appear to have the welded on top.

C=Clone That would be my first guess! He was kind of a pushy guy, trying to sell me that the car is a rare Gem!

he actually is the one who brought up the negotiable price as I was leaving. he sounded very interested in moving the car.

yes anthony, the top is still removable. he said most everything else on the car is the way 916's were, including the dash.
