RUF Wheels, RUF Gauges, Misc. RUF Parts (Lot 57)

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

From the estate of Porsche Master Mechanic David Glenn—director of RUF’s famed Yellowbird engine program and longtime Porsche Motorsport North America specialist—comes an exceptional offering of over 70 no-reserve auction lots. The collection spans Porsche road and race cars, 911 project cars, engines, gearboxes, tools, parts, workshop equipment, and memorabilia, along with select personal vehicles. Glenn’s five-decade career defined excellence in Porsche engine building, from Kremer Racing to RUF Automobile and Porsche Motorsport, where his precision and passion earned global respect. His meticulously maintained workshop reflects that legacy—filled with authentic engines, precision tools and equipment, reference materials and carefully preserved parts.   On-site lot viewings are available by appointment at Hagerty Garage + Social Savannah, 1446 Dean Forest Rd., Savannah, GA 31405.   * * * 

An extraordinary assembly of genuine Ruf Automobile GmbH components and ephemera, representing the close working relationship between Porsche Master Mechanic David Glenn and Alois Ruf’s legendary Pfaffenhausen workshop. 

Included is a set of four Ruf five-spoke alloy wheels, finished in silver and still stored in their original Ruf boxes—two 9x17-inch front wheels and two 10x17-inch rears, complete with center caps and lug nuts. These period wheels are identical in style and specification to those fitted on Ruf’s late-1980s performance icons, including the CTR “Yellowbird” and BTR.

Complementing the wheels is a box of six Ruf-branded VDO gauges, plus one standard boost gauge, a Ruf 2023 calendar, and handwritten workshop notes and 1980s build sheets—a rare glimpse into the technical world of Ruf engineering. Also included is a transmission project set, consisting of four gear assemblies, miscellaneous pieces, and annotated notes from the archives.

A compelling opportunity to acquire Ruf hardware and documentation directly from the collection of a man who helped build the cars that made Ruf world famous.
