The Porsche 911 is perhaps one of automotive histories longest running models. As a result, it is also a car that is continually reengineered, redeveloped, and improved upon generation after generation, all while keeping the classic line and experience of the famed 911 intact. One example of this car, produced in 1972 will be offered at Auctions America Auburn Spring sale on May 9, 2015. It is estimated to fetch $160,000 – $180,000.
