Preview of the Mecum Monterey Auction

To my great surprise there were quite some interesting Porsches in the Mecum Monterey Auction. Hard to say which car will draw the most attention. The 1989 Porsche 962 ( classic 108C-2) is a very good candidate. An the provenance of the car explains that. Porsche 962-108C-2 is the 1989 Daytona 24H winner, with Derek Bell, Bob Wollek and John Andretti at the wheel. The car is considered the fastest Porsche 962 ever built. Derek Bell described this car his favorite 962 and driven to his last 24 Hour victory. The car retired 1989 and is collector owned since than.

1958 Porsche 550A-0141 Spyder

Another car with some great race history is the Porsche 550A Spyder. Back in 1959 professional musician Ernst Vogel , who was an avid racer too, bought Porsche 550A-0141. Ernst Vogel captured multiple podium finishes during its maiden 1958 season in Porsche 550A-0141. The current owner, Steve Terrien,, located the car in a warehouse in 1984. Throughout the next 30 years, the car underwent a fanatical comprehensive restoration that was done to exacting standards.

1987 Porsche 959 Komfort

A Porsche 959 for the estimated price of approximately $500.000 ? Yes you can but make sure  you have a deep wallet to get the car back on the road. The Porsche 959 Komfort that comes up for sale in the Mecum Auction has had a severe crash. And it won’t be easy to make it back road-worthy. And the new owner will have a low-mileage car as the car only has 3657 actual miles.
