Massive Authentic Illuminated Porsche Dealership Letters (40 Feet Wide)
Item Details
- Seller: MILESAHEADPORSCHE
- Location: Beverly Hills, California 90210
- Lot #: M-0022937
Available for auction is an incredibly rare, illuminated Porsche dealership letter set. This large-scale Porsche dealership sign consists of the seven letters of P-O-R-S-C-H-E that measure approximately 40 feet in total length. Each letter is 60" inches wide by 30" inches tall.
The sign had become available from a California Porsche dealership in 2018 when the California Clean Energy Act (SB 100) was enacted. As a result, all signage in California had to comply with Senate Bill 100 to meet the State of California's clean energy regulations. Porsche Dealerships statewide had to meet compliance requirements in order to receive their city, county, and state sign permits. Throughout California, new SB 100 compliant replacement signage was installed at all Porsche dealerships.
The signs are supposed to be dismantled and destroyed when removed. However, as highly prized and coveted collectible items go, a few of these precious and rare signs slipped through the cracks and ended up in private collections. In its restoration, the sign was required to be converted to the California Clean Energy (SB 100) specifications. This was done utilizing state of California-approved LED lighting. Each letter is fully restored and reconstructed of a silver-finished metal case capped with red plastic. This signage would have been the main large letters (not the smaller Porsche letters seen on the sides of dealerships) placed prominently in the front of the Porsche Dealership.
Rarely do these massive large-scale 40 feet wide Porsche dealership letters ever come onto the open market out of private collectors' hands. Don’t miss out on this rare and unique opportunity to own an authentic piece of Porsche dealership and advertising history. The buyer is responsible for all shipping, handling, and fees.

THANK YOU to...

Also thank you Pagapaul, who came in aggressively with their opening and solid bid in the amount of $17,500 dollars.
With just a little less than 3 hours remaining until the close of this halcyon auction...
I want to truly thank all of you who have raised your electronic paddles and set the strong pace for this very special Pcar Market Auction.
In the interest of helping the bidders gain a greater understanding of the ultra rarity of this MASSIVE 40 FOOT PORSCHE DEALERSHIP signage.
Here are some very recent market values of the MUCH SMALLER PORSCHE DEALERSHIP signage that have sold or are currently selling today on the open market.
A current eBay seller is asking for the amount of $59,000. dollars.
(and this sign is 10 FEET SMALLER!)
Coming in at only approximately 30' in length.
Each of those letters are only 43" Wide X 29" High X 6" Deep.
Another much smaller PORSCHE DEALERSHIP sign with each letter measures only 13? tall by 25? wide, when arranged and laid out, the sign only measures just 18? feet long...
and this signage sold for $36,000 dollars just 3 months ago in June of this year.

Clearly, these limited examples are more than validated proof positive of the kind of current valuations these rare PORSCHE DEALERSHIP signs garner.
There is simply no price comparison or current comparable dollar amount of this ultra-rare MASSIVE GIGANTIC 40 FOOT PORSCHE DEALERSHIP signage whatsoever.
Most especially vs. ALL OF THESE smaller 15 feet, 18 feet, or even 30-foot Porsche dealer signage.
Noted...
This is just part of the reason why I encourage you to bid aggressively and without reservation.
There simply isn't another one to be had and the values...
(even on the smaller PORSCHE signs) speak for themselves with all of them selling in excess of $30,000 dollars.
DON'T MISS OUT ON YOUR HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE THIS ASTONISHING GRAND PRIZE PIECE OF PORSCHE ADVERTISING HISTORY.

It's highly unlikely that there will ever be another opportunity to acquire such a MASSIVE SIZE and SCALED 40 FOOT LONG PORSCHE signage in the open collector marketplace again.
(the last time one of the SMALLER California Porsche Dealership signs came to market was on 6/11/22 just a little more than (3) three months ago, and it hammered at 36K)
Earlier in January of this year at the Barrett-Jackson auctions in Scottsdale Arizona, a MUCH SMALLER California Porsche Dealership sign (smaller size, smaller scale PORSCHE signage) hammered at $57,500 dollars.

These are a couple of REAL WORLD examples and current valuations of these rare PORSCHE (much smaller) dealer signs.
Surely, for a MEGA LARGE SIZE of this unusual rare MASSIVE GIGANTIC 40 FOOT Porsche Dealership signage, one would naturally expect its value to be on par or surely exceed these previous and recent comparable Porsche collector values for the smaller PORSCHE dealer signs.
When the bidding closes tomorrow and the winner of this elite prize Porsche artifact finds a new home it will bring years of incredible pride of ownership to its new owner.

@Urian-Z Great question @Urian-Z ...
Yes.
It is.
There is a power converter for the LED that will be included with the sale that can power 110 V or 220V.
Quick question, is this sign good for 110 V as well as 220 V?
I'd like to thank all of you for your interest in this incredible MASSIVE (40 feet wide) authentic vintage PORSCHE DEALERSHIP sign.
It is a fantastically gobsmacked awe-inspiring piece to marvel at with each of the seven (7) letters just shy of 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide.
It is truly the kind of rare unique PORSCHE artifact that is never seen on the open Porsche collector marketplace.
Because of its large 40 feet HUGE MASSIVE size, It will make an astonishing addition to any elite private Porsche collection, and the focus of fascinating Porsche collector conversations for years to come to the winner.
(Thanks in advance to all the bidders and don't hesitate to contact me as I'm available for any questions during the course of the auction.)
