Collection of over 30 vintage Porsches is headed for auction — autoblog.com

The multifaceted collection of vintage Porsche models that the late John Dixon assembled under the clever Taj Ma Garaj banner is scheduled to cross the auction block in Dayton, Ohio, on September 28. The auction catalog lists over 30 cars ranging from well-sorted drivers to puzzling one-offs, plus hundreds of memorabilia items like parts and sales brochures. Auction house RM Sotheby's explains Dixon's decades-long love affair with rear-engined, air-cooled Porsche models began when a 911 passed him on the freeway while he was in high school. He became a Porsche owner a year after being overtaken by one, and started amassing a significant collection during the 1990s. Highlights from the Taj Ma Garaj include a 1957 356 A Carrera GT with a body made by Reutter, a 1967 911 S, and a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7.
