As the first Porsche to utilize a ladder chassis and fiberglass body, this pioneering model clinched a first
overall at the Targa Florio, a first at Reims, five of the top ten GT placements at Le Mans, and class wins at
Spa and Sebring, among others – all in its first year. And with just over 100 produced in the course of two
years, the 904 GTS as a model was not only tremendously successful but also very limited. To own one of
these machines today is a privilege enjoyed by very few. And to own one as original and genuine as this is a
rarity indeed.
Another standout sports car complimenting Bonhams’ early consignments is a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB. A
desirable late production, long-nose example with torque tube driveline, it’s a low mileage car and is the
beneficiary of a recent comprehensive restoration by renowned marque specialists Mototechnique. Presented
in its factory delivered colors of silver over black, this alluring Italian masterwork has spent most of its life in
the United States and is a class winner at the distinguished Cavallino Classic. Red Book-certified by Ferrari
Classiche, it will be offered without reserve.
Now in its sixth year, Bonhams’ collector car auction in Scottsdale consistently achieves world records prices
and delivers industry leading sell-through rates. Hosted at the beautiful and easily accessible Westin
Kierland Resort & Spa, the mid-January sale is a highlight of the global collector car calendar. With a
combination of world-class cars and strong results in a calm and convenient setting, there is no better place
for connoisseurs to interact.
