Not only was it owned by Peter Gregg.....it has power steering!

http://www.auctionsamerica.com/event...ing=&category=

"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."

estimate seems quite low- apparently Peter Gregg owning a car doesn't ad as much value as Steve McQueen-

Nice car but that left rocker panel looks like crap. Why not just fix that first then list it

Maybe they feel that damage actually caused by Peter Gregg will add value?

It's a pretty cool car, but is that the actual speedo? I can't recall which ones came with the 85 MPH speedo and which had the higher ones.

Peter Gregg was one of my favorite drivers. He seemed to have everything going for him and I was shocked when his death was announced. I would have liked to see more evidence of his association documented in the auction text and photos. 9309800333 could command some high attention if the link is solid.

The Speedometer type on this 930 is correct. North American 1979 MY 930's had 150 MPH Speedometers on builds from August 1978 through August 1979.
North American 1979 MY 930's had 85 MPH Speedometers (as mandated by DOT) on builds starting September 1979 through December 1979.

The Blue and Red stripes remind me of the Martini Stripes on 930's of the same vintage.

That is a typo if you look closely there is no belt for a power steering pump. There is one for the AC unit

These are never built with power steering- that was not available on 911's until the 964's, it was meant to be a joke.
