Grosse Pointe, MI, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty company, announced official results from its Porsche 75th Anniversary Auction held at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta on June 10th. The auction achieved $ 20 million in total sales with 93 percent of all lots sold. The auction saw a standing room only crowd in attendance set against the striking architectural background of Porsche’s North American headquarters and adjoining driver development track. With more than 450 attendees converging on One Porsche Drive, including Porsche executives and guests from around the world, the event exhibited a palpable energy that was reflected in the highly active bidding environment.

The top seller of the auction was the significant 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS; the exceptional dual-purpose sports racer which was recently the subject of a full length film with noted Porsche specialist Rod Emory, who referred to the car as “the perfect Porsche”. After an exciting exchange between multiple bidders, the 904 achieved a final bid price of $ 2,535,000.
Another top seller of the auction and certainly one of the most popular cars in the auction is the 1999 Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe “Sonderwunsch” Factory One-Off that was specially commissioned by Porsche Club of America that carried a presale auction estimate $ 292,865. After a highly competitive bidding exchange, witnessed by the team responsible for the car’s creation, including its designer Grant Larson, the very special Porsche 911 achieved a final bid price of $ 1,325,000.
One of the most exciting moments of the afternoon occurred during the bidding of the historic and iconic 1984 Porsche 962, which was driven across the block by none other than Bobby Akin, who shared his personal experience and family connection to the car with the audience. After an equally riveting bidding contest, the Coca-Cola liveried 962 ended up selling for $ 1,270,000.
