RM Sotheby’s Rudi Klein Collection: Ultimate auction of projects?

Love project cars? We’re not talking just any ole vehicles, either. This collection includes Lamborghini Miuras, Porsche 356s, and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwings. If that’s up your alley, then check out the Rudi Klein Collection from RM Sotheby’s.

Klein started collecting in 1967 and kept his collection relatively secret. RM Sotheby’s has nicknamed the auction “The Junkyard,” and offers 208 lots on October 26. You can preview it here.

Furthermore, there’s an online auction, too, running October 26-28, with all sorts of parts being offered. You can preview it here.

Good Grief-that 300sl is one of the 29 alloy examples and is expected to sell for between 4m and 6m. 

Always wondered what a junky 300SL was worth...looks like i'll continue to wonder.

I know, right? Lots of treasure in there. Also, a lot of cars that should have/could have been saved decades ago.
