Last night I was watching What's my car worth auction in Velocity. They sold a Porsche 550 Spyder for $3,000,000.00. That was pretty cool, but they kept showing two cool race cars in between the big cars, take a look in the back ground, see the two beauties back there?

Nice, isn't it?

Anybody know the history of these cars?

Everything on the auction was the real deal, so I would say no, one guy owned like 30 old Porsches and sold the whole lot!

364,000$ holy crap... how many of those were built? 4?

Yes and the #4 car is in Corpus Christi TX, in the back at Paragon with 15 layers of dust on it...The special part of #1 car is that is actually has a history provenance with racing at LeMans.

Thanks guys! Lucky I happened to turn on the tube last night. That was it Gooding and Co. Somewhere in Florida but they did not show the turbo RS auction. Just the 550 Spyder and some Bentley 4.2L. The prices were crazy!!!

However on Chasing Classic Cars, Wayne found and sold a 1967 NART Ferrari Spyder for the most ever brought at auction, all in $27,500,000.00! How is that for a $14,500.00 car in 1967!!!

I'm not surprised honestly that an 88TS fetched 82k. It had 700 miles on it and was in what I assume to be perfect factory condition, a new car basically. Things like that fetch those kinds of $$$ it just takes the right buyer. I'd assume it was loaded with every desirable option too.

That 935 that sold for 2.5 million was pretty slick too.

It was brought up last year when it first went up for auction...surprising amount of front engine love from the collector

Chris White

with other Porsches selling for millions it probable seemed like a great deal!
I doubt there is one with less miles on it anywhere.

I noticed the two beauties in front...the 917 beauty in the middle and the 3 beauties in back....in that order.
