'. . . In 1970 and 1971 Porsche Motorsports made a very limited production of 911 based race cars referred to as 911 st model. Approximately 18 examples were produced. Three as factory “werks” cars and the balance sold to privateers. Taking a refurbished “ex-werks” 911 ST rally car, Peter Gregg of the Jacksonville Florida based Brumos Porsche Audi Corporation, installed a 2.5 litre engine and took class wins at the Daytona 24 hours and Sebring 12 hours with co-driver Hurley Haywood. With this success and that of John Fitzpatrick driving a Kremer Bros ST to victory in the Manufacturer’s and Driver’s Championship in the European Touring Car series, Porsche Motorsports set an eye toward expanding 911 based race cars for GT competition. In order to qualify, Porsche had to satisfy homologation rules for the Group 4 GT class that stated that 500 examples needed to produced and sold to public. Production for 500 examples of the newly designed 911 Carrera RS was commenced in 1972 for the 1973 GT season . . .
. . . Unfortunately for the US consumer, the 1973 911 Carrera RS model was not offered for sale and were limited to European sales only. With Peter Gregg’s Success in Motorsports with Porsche, Gregg’s Brumos Porsche Audi Corporation became the ‘defacto’ Motorsports arm for Porsche in the US in the early 1970’s. Potential US buyers for the 73′ Carrera RS contacted Gregg in hopes he could somehow obtain via His connections with Porsche Motorsports. Gregg being unsuccessful in importing this new RS model told a very limited few clients he would build them a ‘race car’ as good as the RS using all factory racing components readily available to him in his Brumos Race Shop. It is believed that only 6 such Brumos cars were produced for clients. Each varied in its specifications . . .
. . . Offered here is one of these unique examples of Brumos/ Porsche history. Of the known examples produced by Brumos this is the most highly developed. This car was contracted by J.P. Ray of San Antonio, Texas in March of 1973. Base production started with a new off the floor 1973 911 S vin number 9113300753 complete by the factory on 12/15/1972. Specifications include the extremely rare 911 ST factory body panels, aluminum engine cover with 2.7 emblem, Brumos spec 2.7 litre racing engine (as used in Greggs’ GT car), gear ratio changes for 2-5 gears, “special racing” suspension, Fuch racing alloys . . .'
