917/10-003 Auction Book

[Doug E]

Here's a link to the auction book for the Can-Am champion 917 that will be crossing the block this month:

The L&M Porsche Can-Am Champion by Stephen Cox

Great read with lots of fantastic pictures, quotes and information.

Will be interesing to see what it goes for compared to the recently sold 917/30.

Maybe if a few of us pool our money...

OK, how do you print this in high resolution?
I can't read the text and I may be in some of the photos.

I may still have the list (200+ pages) of stuff (including seven+ engines) for sale when this car was offered in the spring of 1974 and I considered buying it.

Best,
Grady

What was the selling price in 1974?

[Doug E]

Car should cross the block in about 45 min ... lot S123 ... auction is on live on Velocity channel.

[Doug E]

Sold at $5.5 million ... record auction price for a Porsche.

[Venetian]

I probably saw that car race in a couple of CanAm races in Edmonton in the early 70's. Going to these races was more of an excuse to gather with friends and drink beer. Unfortunately I didn't realize I was witnessing automotive history. Not even any pictures. I do remember going out on the track in an old pick up after the race for a few laps(with a couple of guys in the box!)...nobody seemed to care.
