The auction will be held to coincide with 2014's Scottsdale auctions, one of the largest car events of the year. The Porsche, a spectacular model boasting superb racing pedigree, will sell with a $2.8m-3.2m estimate.
The 1960 Porsche 718 RS 61 Spyder was once driven by legendary racers Bob Donner and Bob Wester. Its racing career spans 1961-1964, and includes many podium finishes at Sports Car Club of America and United States Road Racing Championship events.
