The controversial 1939 Porsche Type 64 failed to sell after an auction snafu. The car was estimated to fetch more than $20 million.
A controversial 1939"Porsche" Type 64 — which the automaker claims isn't technically a Porsche — failed to sell at RM Sotheby's Monterey car auction Saturday night. During the auction, the screen operator and some audience members heard the auction started at $30 million, while the auctioneer was actually saying $13 million. The care ultimately failed to sell after not meeting the reserve price, and the entire experience was caught on video by multiple attendees.
