His collection includes the horsepower heavyweights from the golden era of muscle cars, the rarest Mopar machine examples, and Ferraris.\u00a0Todhunter\u2019s\u00a0choice for strong and powerful machines has followed a path of development centered on quality over quantity.\u00a0Instead of accumulating cars to grow his collection in terms of number, Todhunter continuously raised the bar of his collector cars in terms of rarity and desirability.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In addition to the Steve Todhunter collection, another highlight of the auction is the Napa Valley Collection, which will feature a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, being one of only 1580 produced, and a 1966 Chevrolet Yenko Stinger Stage II.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at a few featured cars on offer at the 2021 Mecum Glendale auction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1965 Shelby 427 Cobra FAM<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Estimate: $275,000 &#8211;

It was a campaign that resulted in the powerful 917 in Sports Prototype and Can-Am configuration.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In March 1972, Rico\u00a0Steinemann\u00a0stepped down as head of Porsche and Ernst Fuhrmann took over. During this time, the sales for 911 were declining. Fuhrmann however had a two-pronged plan to reverse the trend: he dramatically reduced the astronomical costs they were incurring with the turbocharged Can-Am 917, and construct future racing credentials using the car that was universally and easily identifiable as a Porsche \u2013 the 911.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Fuhrmann described the program as:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>\u201can interesting adventure.

Fuhrmann gave the task to 33-year-old engineer <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/porsche-935\/\">Norbert Singer<\/a> as he had previously played a pivotal role in the development of the 917, making it one of the greatest race cars in history.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-607940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AZ21_Mecum-Glendale-2021_1973-Porsche-911-Carrera-RS-2.7_F123_Rear-1-1-293x196.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The first thing that Singer did was to reduce the weight of the 911 to target Group 4 regulations. The standard sheet steel body panels used (1.0 and 1.25mm thickness) were replaced with .7 or .8mm stock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The interior was another great place for reducing weight. The factory carpet and sound insulation were replaced by rubber sheeting, the rear seat was removed, while thinly padded\u00a0Recaro\u00a0racing bucket seats with simple manual adjusters replaced the front seats.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After reducing all the unnecessary weight, Singer\u2019s attention shifted to the car\u2019s handling.
