1970 Porsche 917 - Gulf Livery
1Gulf-Porsche 917K that raced at Le Mans in 1970 with John Wyer’s legendary Gulf Oil team will come under the hammer.
It has the potential to be the most expensive Porsche ever sold at auction and is the first eight-figure consignment we’ve seen so far this year. RM’s presale estimate is $16M – $18.5M.
It’s hard to overstate the importance of the 917, both to the company that built it and to racing in general. It delivered Porsche the first of its 19 overall wins (so far) at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It launched the company into a period of international sports car racing dominance that lasted through much of the 1970s and 1980s. It played a starring role in Steve McQueen’s 1971 film about the 24-hour classic, Le Mans. Then, the 917’s turbocharged variants (aka the “Turbo Panzers”) so thoroughly steamrolled the competition in Can-Am racing that they effectively ended the series. The 917 is also one of the cars that made both the Gulf and Martini color schemes among the most beloved color liveries in motorsport.
