I would have loved to go , but you needed to be a registered bidder which cost $500 ,
I thought there were a few good "deals" as far as Porsche stuff went and only a few "crazy Porsche prices"
This 1960 roadster at $70K 1960 Porsche 356 B 1600 S Roadster by Drauz | The Junkyard: The Rudi Klein Collection | RM Sotheby's (rmsothebys.com)
and this twin grill Roadster for over a million bucks with 600 miles 1962 Porsche 356 B 1600 'Twin-Grille' Roadster by D'Ieteren | The Junkyard: The Rudi Klein Collection | RM Sotheby's (rmsothebys.com)
Here is the link with selling prices including commisions https://rmsothebys.com/auction...e=2&pageSize=100
Wow- 28 356 engines ranged in price from 1800- $4500, averaging just over $2800 each! The roller cranks went for 3300 and $4800- way out of my league. A couple of B coupes went for $1680 and $2520; otherwise, the cheapest rusty 356 wreck was still almost $6,000. The '59 Carrera GS/GT coupe went for $880,000.
And to think that twin grille Roadster will probably never be driven as it should so it can really feel the road under it's tires again. Yeah, yeah- it's a time capsule and all that- I get it, but it's still a shame
Not an expert , but the roller cranks seemed to be from 1500-1600 pushrod engines and not a 4 Cam , the photos did not show the flywheel end .
The 4 cam fan shroud , valve cover did not seem horrible for $7200 if you needed one ,

I wonder what condition those motors are in ? Rudi passed in 2001 and his son Ben was not buying that stuff for the last 23 years , So outside storage for that long plus !
Same with the 911 motors .....
There was also a lot of missing lots , none of the 911 or 356 gearboxes were there , rims were missing , Recaro seats missing and a bunch more ,
It was a once in a lifetime Auction , the complete 4 hours plus is on YouTube
