Monterey Auction Porsches

[GreenT]

Boy, if you love old Porsches and have unlimited funds, what an auction this would be...

No way to decide between this bunch, you'd just have to buy all eight. At the very least the '67 R, the '71 ST and the '72 RS prototype (presumably the orange car, it has a 1972 oil flap). Load them all in the transporter, and then drive the '97 Turbo S back home. That's what I'd call a good weekend...

I wonder whose collection these cars are coming from.

The catalogue is not out yet but here is link to the highlights of the auction at the Jet Center.

I am planning to go (without a bidders # ) just for fun. Anyone else going?

I think the signal yellow RS prototype (it was originally supposed to be called a 911 S 2.7) was restored by Dave Mohlman but I don't know if he sold it or not.

It may be another car, but a couple of years ago Mohlmann was selling a near perfect RS lightweight clone - also Signal yellow. Sold in Florida and then resold to a buyer in California, I think. Price was $70k to the first buyer.

myself and a partner will be bidding;but I'm not too excited as I already owned (abarth carrera,carrera spdster,904) or own most of them now (911R,911ST,RS CARRERA)

The RS prototype is pictured on page 60 and 61 of the Carrera RS book. It was built with a '72 body so it has the right side oil door. A significant car for sure.



I am pretty sure this is not the car Mohlmann sold from Florida.

So what other colors did they build the R,s, i did not know they came in yellow, seen white , silver and blue.

It looks like the R and 904 prototype are coming from G&W in VA. I'm sure sithot can elaborate a little more on this. He posted these photos to earlyS or Pelican awhile ago:

Here's a picture I took of the 904 prototype at RRII
