The Annual Monterey Porsche Auction Frenzy & Spectacular may have seemed a bit subdued around July 4th when we compiled the preview we published soon after that. Since then, consignees emerged from their garages and the woodwork, filling out catalogs with all variety of interesting autos.
And the auction weekend has proven to be anything but sublime.
Ridiculous?
No evidence of that yet, but…. Perhaps you can best think of another word to describe what happened?
We gathered the most accurate lot numbers we can for you for this wrap up issue, as well as estimates where they were available. Neither Mecum Auctions nor Russo and Steele had posted hammer price estimates in time for our August deadline so they remain we published as last month: Estimate not yet published. And…as the auctions came and went, they still had not done so on whole fleets of cars they offered.
In all, these auction houses offered more than 140 Porsches, ranging from rare and spectacular to, well, simply pre-owned cars. It is possible they added cars even on the days of their sales. If you bid, we hope you got what you hoped you were acquiring.
