A psychedelic 1965 Porsche 365c 1600 cabriolet, famously owned by Janis Joplin, is up for auction at Sotheby's.

Janis Joplin acquired the Porsche in 1968

The model will provide the headline lot of the Driven By Disruption sale in New York on December 10. It's expected to make in excess of $400,000.

Joplin's brother Michael told the Guardian newspaper: "Like most people and their car of choice, her Porsche is a direct link to Janis.

"She drove it everywhere … with the top down and her feathers flying. Her music, life and car are a part of rock'n'roll history."
