1959 Porsche 718 RSK center seat,
Chassis No. 718-028 was built in 1959 with a center-seat cockpit and delivered new to its first owner, Christian Goethals of Belgium, who raced it for one season and took first place overall at the 1959 Leopoldville Grand Prix in the Belgian Congo.
This car went on to place sixth overall and third in class at the 1960 Buenos Aires 1000km Grand Prix, followed by two overall victories at the Lance Anvers hillclimb in Belgium.
Introduced in 1957 and produced through 1962, the 718 RSK features a spaceframe chassis and Porsche’s Type 547 roller-crankshaft engine used in its predecessor, the 550 Spyder. In comparison with the flat-four, pushrod engines used in contemporary production Porsches and Volkswagens, Porsche’s Type 547/3, a 1,587 cc, DOHC flat-four, which developed about 142 hp, was a notoriously complicated and high-strung design.

¡Bloque de subasta: Porsche 718 RSK de 1959!
Luego de una carrera incompleta en 1957, el 718 RSK de Porsche terminó primero en las clases S1.5 y S2.0, ocupando el tercer y cuarto lugar en las 24 Horas de Le Mans en el '58.
Se produjeron 34 RSK en total, el 24 de los cuales cruzará el bloque de subasta el próximo mes en Pebble Beach, California a través de Gooding & Company.
Originalmente propiedad del corsario estadounidense Ed Hugus, quien ingresó este mismo ejemplo en la carrera de Le Mans de 1959, el Spyder estaba adornado con el número 37 en su librea. Hugo también lo llamó Lucybelle en honor a la esposa de su socio comercial.
Combinando agresividad y belleza a través de sus curvas, esta espectacular restauración del Porsche 718 RSK de 1959 cruzará el bloque de subastas el 19 y 20 de agosto, donde se estima que se venderá entre $4,500,000 y $5,500,000.
