Porsche 550 Spyder and 718 RSK – Classic Cars for Sale

The next installment in Sports Car Digest’s therapeutic look back at classified advertisements features two rare Porsche racing cars offered for sale in the January 1962 Road & Track. The same seller is offering a Porsche 550 RS Spyder and a Porsche 781 RSK.

Seller Linley Coleman was a well-traveled race car driver from the era, having driven everything from Porsches to Ferrari 250 GTOs to Shelby Cobras, at venues like the Targa Florio, Nassau Speed Weeks and Daytona. In fact, Coleman finished 3rd at the 1962 Bahamas Governor’s Trophy Preliminary Race driving a Porsche 550 Spyder, which we would assume would be our first subject car. Additionally, the two Porsches were serviced by the legendary Brumos Porsche.
