UNIQUE 996 CLUB CLASSIC SET TO TURN HEADS AT BROAD ARROW AUCTION
Broad Arrow (a Hagerty company) has been appointed to host the Porsche 75th Anniversary auction at Porsche Experience Center Atlanta across June 8th-10th. This single-marque sale will present seventy-five (of course!) carefully curated classic and collectible Porsches.
Every Porsche anniversary is worth celebrating, but seventy-five years of manufacturing and motorsport is especially noteworthy.

The Classic Club Coupe features the complete drivetrain from a second-generation 996 GT3 and will be offered without reserve.
