A number of significant racing cars will be offered for sale at RM’s annual Arizona sale, January 16–17, at the beautiful Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix. Included in the preliminary listings is a 1961 Chaparral 1, chassis 003, one of two team cars built by Troutman & Barnes for Jim Hall and Hap Sharp.
Also listed is a trio of rare Porsches, led by a 1960 718 RS 61 Spyder, chassis 718.066, that was raced in period by Don Wester and Bob Donner and comes on the market for the first time in 20 years. The other Porsches are a 1966 906 Carrera 6, chassis 906-116—one of only three known street-legal examples yet with victories at both the Norisring in 1968 and the 1969 Hockenheim Finale—and a 1957 356 A Carrera 1500 GS Speedster, chassis 83087, which is freshly restored and powered by a race-derived four-cam GS engine.
