RM Sotheby's | The Junkyard: The Rudi Klein Collection - 26 October 2024

Since 1967, Rudi Klein, a renowned figure in the world of collecting, had quietly amassed a remarkable collection of automotive treasures in a modest junkyard in Southern Los Angeles. Known for his discerning eye and passion for rare and unique automobiles, Klein’s collection has long been a well-kept secret, with only rumors of its existence swirling amongst certain collectors’ circles.
Now, for the first time, RM Sotheby’s will unveil ‘The Junkyard,’ bringing to market Klein’s extraordinary collection of rare and revered automobiles, parts, and memorabilia in a series of auctions. A rare glimpse into the world of a true collector, this event offers bidders the opportunity to acquire significant models long thought lost or destroyed, along with a trove of automotive parts and treasures; true pieces of automotive history, once lost, now found.
A truly mythical collection. We hope you can join us this October in greater Los Angeles.
