For the past 25 years, the ten-time nominee and two-time Academy Award winner harbored a 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo in his garage, a fact that surfaced due to its listing—and successful sale for $410,993—on Bring a Trailer this past week.
The 907 was a short-lived but pivotal part of Porsche’s racing program in the 1960s, which evolved at a blistering pace. It’s hard to believe that Porsche went from the pocket-sized 718 to the all-conquering 917 in just a decade but it did, and the 907 falls somewhere in the middle of that meteoric rise.
A spin around the Shelby American Collection is sure to inspire awe with its unparalleled collection of historically significant (and stunningly valuable) automotive jewels, all sleeping in an unassuming 10,000-sq.-ft. building sharing a cul-de-sac with a prep school and two HVAC companies
Of the 320 vehicle lots on offer among the three Amelia sales, 55 were Porsches, 10 were turbocharged, and 34 were 911s. Unbelievably rare specs and colors and interesting motorsports history were also on offer. In other words, Porschephiles with money to spend were spoiled for choice.
