Thanks for posting.  What an interesting collection, and likely, person that gathered it all.

Something about that tan Mercedes 600 is calling to me like the Green Goblin mask

Estimated $30-40k. That's one expensive VIN tag.

I had a hard time picking the most ridiculous Ferrari.

This thing was a surprise.

Rudy died in 2001 ,  then his son Ben took it over , 

I was let into one section of the yard years by Rudi  and was amazed at what cars were  stacked on top of each other.

There has always been rumors  of the cars he owned  , and there are a few cars I know he had that must have been sold over the years as they are missing from the auction , 

The estimated prices on most of the stuff is pretty low , except for the exotic stuff ,  but then again what condition are 911 motors that have sat out for decades , 

It is going to be a very interesting auction :)

The gullwing is one of the 29 alloy examples...estimated to bring between 2m and 4m.
