News of the auction: the craze for Porsche in Atlanta?

RM Sotheby's can boast of a successful auction, despite the fact that some big parties did not know what to expect. And that, with a number of cars, the expectations were not true, the fun did not spoil.

Automobilia

First, let's take a quick look at the automobile, here too some accounts have been counted. More than 20 dollars were minted for a set of sales brochures of the Porsche 911/912. Far above the estimated price. The engine model of the Carrera RS 2.7 changed owners for $ 6,000 and a billboard with a Porsche German police reported more than $ 14,000.

917 Junior

Porsche's "children's car" did not really work. storm. Well, not really storm, the estimates were rather too optimistic. More than 31 dollars, for the 917 Junior, is of course not really deplorable for a Porsche "toy". Before the Porsche tour, two other engine blocks passed the hammer. A rare four-camper Carrera 356 engine went to a new owner for 300 thousand dollars.

Optimistic

In a number of cases, estimates were rather optimistic, especially in the former Seinfeld 997 GT3 RS 4.0. This car finally collected $ 566,000, which is an excellent price for this version of the 997 GT3 RS. The estimate of $ 800,000 to $ 1 million was somewhat absurd. On the same sheet, a prosecution for a 997 GT2 RS that brought in $ 538,000 with an estimate of $ 700,000 to $ 800,000.

The two classic RSRs loaded with racing history have not changed ownership, just like an expected 956. a minimum of $ 5.2 million. The 959 Paris-Dakar was much better on the market as it exceeded the top of the estimate of $ 2 million. There was something to say, such a copy is extremely rare. A surprise was the 356 Speedster who spent years in a hangar, $ 307,000 brought the Porsche.

Considering the previous auctions where the Porsches had obtained excellent results, there was not much to fear for an auction where only the Porsche passed under the hammer. The Porsche 993 Turbo & # 39; Gold Project & # 39; won gold and a 959 Paris-Dakar quickly exceeded the estimated business figure and became the most expensive Porsche auction. Total income was $ 25.8 million.
