Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up! As the old carnival barker line goes, “Admission is free, pay at the door, pull up a seat and sit on the floor.” The 2017 automobile auction is about to begin and your favorite auctions houses have gathered an exciting array of Porsches for sale at all venues in the greater Scottsdale, Arizona area.

As we have done for the past two years now, we will cover these sales and bring you results - and our observations - in our February issue. In the meanwhile, read, and dream!
