Turbo Porsches up for Auction

On Friday, the auction house Gooding & Company will be selling off a lot of 17 turbocharges Porsches known as the Drendel Family Collection.  The original owner of the collection, Matthew Drendel, tragically passed from a medical condition at the age of 35 (you might have read about his death in Panorama last year), leaving what many consider to be the greatest collection of turbo Porsches ever amassed.

The list is mouthwatering, and includes such awesome examples as a 1973 917 Can-Am Spyder, 1974 RSR Turbo (pictured above), 1976 934 & 935, 1981 924 GTP, 1984 962, 1986 944 Turbo Cup, 1994 968 Turbo RS, 1995 911 GT2, and a 1997 GT1 Evolution.

The collection will be a part of the Amelia Island Auction in Florida, so if you’re interested, and have the cash, get on a plan now.
