Thanks for posting the news. Very sad that Matt died young. Lots of very good stuff that hopefully will find good homes. Happy that many of these cars got out to different events so that they could be seen and enjoyed by others.

Yea the old adage he who dies with the most toys wins might be true. But they are still dead.

Well, there is a well set up 924. Worth up to $600K. Did I say well set up?

Incredible collection ... was great to see so many of them displayed together at RRI, II and III. Hopefully the proceeds bring good fortune to the family and the new owners continue to enjoy the cars. Will be interesting to see what the 917/30 goes for.
