I flew from Oregon to attend the auction because I've never been to one before and decided to go to "the big one". Unreal number of cars to see - it was awesome! I was in the audience for a few hours on Saturday, and saw the 917K go across the block. When Jimmy the auctioneer knew the bidding had stalled, he yells "don't hate me" and slams down the hammer. You never heard so many people groan and yell! Half the audience got up and left. Total bummer it didn't sell. They had been hyping that car since the Mecum Monterey auction back in August!
@@BadPhD777 Glad you got to make it traveling that far! This was my first time as well even tho i am local. Seeing the 917k in person was an amazing experience. Shame it didn’t sell! That would have been historical to witness that.
As a kid in the 80s that schuppan Porsche I loved
@@jamesdungan6198 This was my first time seeing one. Very unique design

No sale, what was the reserve?
@@damonkatos4271 Not sure of the reserve. Shame it didn’t sell tho. I guess Seinfeld was expecting a higher price to close.
What was your fav car there?
The iconic Porsche 917k from Steve McQueen with a bid of $25mil was definitely the highlight for me!
