Designated Type 930 but commonly known simply as the Turbo, the new vehicle was released in the spring of 1975, power output reached 300-hp with a displacement increase to 3.3-liters and the addition of an air-to-air intercooler. 1976 heralded the first year that Porsche’s 911 Turbo was available in the U.S., and the car’s release created quite a fanfare. Porsche’s street cars were previously known more so for their handling and driving characteristics rather than their raw power output, but the 911 Turbo changed that.

While Porsche had previously experimented with turbocharging on their racing cars; most notably with the fearsome and dominating 917/10 and 917/30 “Turbo Panzer” Penske/Donohue Can Am cars, the 911 Turbo would be the first production Porsche to ever utilize turbocharging. Adding to its appeal was the cars truly incredible looks, characterized by its unique “whale tail” spoiler at the rear helped keep the car grounded at high speeds. Porsche’s careful and relentless development program also ensured that the 930 was a sound base for racing vehicles, and led to the highly successful 934 and 935 racing cars which dominated all the great endurance races for years.

This is a very special and individualized Porsche 930 by being reported as “Peter Gregg’s last personally owned 930”, as it was advertised in Autoweek magazine when it purchased from Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, Florida. The gentleman who purchased the car at the time from Brumos conveys; “I have dated photos of the car at a show. I have the autographed photo of Peter Gregg with the car beneath the Brumos Porsche sign. My driver watched as the photo was snapped. I had sent my covered transporter from Pennsylvania to Jacksonville. The photo is autographed to me and my wife. I have photos of my care of the car, including the garage and my covered transporter. My driver wore soft cotton gloves to load and unload the car.”

Brumos was established in the late 1950s by Hubert Brundage, whose Volkswagen / Porsche dealership, Brundage Motors Inc. became known, in the days of telex machines requiring unique six-letter identifications, simply as ‘Brumos’. In 1960, a Porsche 718 RS60, entered by Brumos and driven by Bob Holbert and Roy Schechter, finished second overall in the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the die was cast for an involvement in motorsport that has continued to the present day. Mr. Brundage was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1964, and in August the following year, Brumos was acquired by Peter Gregg, already a serious racing driver in Porsches.

Peter Gregg was a well-known and successful racecar driver and a four-time winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona. As established, he was also the owner of Brumos, the Jacksonville, Florida car dealership and had a very interesting and colorful journey to being in this position.

Gregg graduated from the Deerfield Academy (a private prep school) in 1957 and earned a degree in English from Harvard University. After his graduation from Harvard in 1961, he moved to Europe and attended the Centro-Sud Driving School. He then joined the U.S. Navy and became an Air Intelligence Officer, and was assigned to the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida and served there until he was discharged in 1965. He would focus on racing automobiles.

In 1971, he participated in the Trans-Am Series, driving Bud Moore Ford Mustangs, alongside teammate George Follmer. He won the Trans-Am Series in 1973 in a Brumos Porsche and again in 1974. By this time, he was involved with IMSA and won the IMSA GTO overall championship in 1971 and 1973 earning him the nickname "Peter Perfect", possibly a reference to his clean cut Naval Officer image. In 1973 he won the 24 Hours of Daytona in a Porsche Carrera co-driven by Hurley Haywood. He then announced his retirement, to become a director of the Jacksonville National Bank, a club tennis player and a speedboat racer out of one of the Ponte Vedra yacht clubs. Gregg later withdrew his retirement and went on to win the 24 Hours of Daytona three more times, in 1975, 1976 and 1978. His 1976 Daytona victory in the #59 BMW E9 Coupe Sport Leicht (CSL) "Batmobile" with co-driver Brian Redman is cited as BMW's first major victory on American soil.

Gregg won IMSA GTO overall championships in 1974, 1975, 1978, and 1979, giving him six career titles in the class. At the time of his untimely death in December 1980, Gregg had achieved a reputation as one of America's greatest and most successful road racers with 152 wins out of 340 races he started.

The odometer on this ex-Peter Gregg 930 shows just over 14,000 miles; which are believed to be actual. Power comes from the 3,299-cc turbocharged six-cylinder engine that is making 265-hp, and the transmission is a four-speed manual transmission. This original car has power steering, brakes and windows; air conditioning and a CD player and radio.

According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies the car, the exterior is painted in Grand Prix White (R4), with Brumos Racing livery colors added. The interior is Brown leather (75). Optional equipment that came on the car was U.S. equipment, front sport seats, electric sunroof and Pirelli tires. Owner's manual, books and receipts are included with the vehicle.

Again, from the prior owner who purchased the car from Brumos; “Provenance determines value in no small part. I’m able to tell the complete and accurate story. Peter Gregg did personally own the car. I can confirm that and provide evidence of the care the car received while in my ownership.”
