Gooding & Company will host the annual Scottsdale Auction next January 17th and 18th at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. A total number of 140 cars will cross the block these 2 days. With 24 Porsches, you will agree our favorite brand has a strong representation. The offered Porsches vary in age, from the mid fifties Porsche 356s to a 2018 Porsche 911 GT3. Some of the cars offered need a complete restoration, at first sight. Other cars are ready for the road, and can immediately be enjoyed by the new owners . Most important Porsche in the auction is definitely the 1970 Porsche 914/6 GT.
1958 Porsche 356A Cabriolet
What you see is what you get. That is definitely true with the 1958 Porsche 356A Cabriolet in the Gooding & Company Auction in Scottsdale. But, aren’t that the best cars to buy when you are ready for a nut-to-bolt restoration. Chassis 150727 was equipped for the US market and delivered to Hoffman Motors in New York. The original color combination of Silver Metallic over Red has changed colors somewhere in time. The car has been in storage for years now. It comes with a matching number engine, and factory hardtop and a desirable period Becker Radio.
2004 Porsche Carrera GT
The Porsche Carrera GT was unveiled as a concept car at the 2000 Paris Motorshow. The strong interest of the public convinced Porsche to start the production of this supercar. Production started in 2003 and finished in May 2006. In that period 1270 Porsche Carrera GTs left the factory. This 2004 Carrera GT was delivered new to Porsche of Barrington, Illinois, before being sold to its first owner in Florida in October 2004. Currently the counter only indicates 4,700 miles. This low-mileage Porsche Carrera GT would be a great addition to any Porsche collection.
1970 Porsche 914/6 GT
No doubt about the absolute eye-catcher among the Porsches at the Gooding & Company Auction in Scottsdale. The 1970 Porsche 914/6 GT will definitely draw the attention of many Porsche collectors. Soon after the introduction of the 4 cylinder mid-engine Porsche 914, Porsche started developing a race purpose car. But even before the the first Porsche 914/6 were delivered to their customers, the Porsche race department had a prototype ready : the Porsche 914/6 GT. Each individual car was tailored to a specific purpose. The Porsche 914/6 GT officially debuted at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 1970, where Guy Chasseuil and Claude Ballot-Lena’s Sonauto entry scored a class win and placed 6th Overall. Chassis 914 043 1017, is one of only 16 examples that the Porsche Racing Department built in 1970 for customer use. We can recommend the book “Porsche – the racing 914s” by Roy Smith in case you want to know more about these cars.
24H Daytona Class winner
This particular car’s first owner was Jacques Duval. He flew the car to Canada to show it on the Montreal Car Show, where he secured sponsorship of Sunoco Canada. The Porsche made its competition debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona held on January 30 and 31, 1971. The race was won by Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Oliver’s Gulf-Wyer 917K. Jacques Duval, who teamed up with George Nicholas and Bob Bailey finished the race 1st in Class and 7th overall.
