Broad Arrow Auctions recently announced the consignment of the historic 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Spyder “Lucybelle III,” chassis 718-024, to its Amelia Island Auction, set for March 1-2, 2024 at the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton.

The Porsche 718 RSK Spyder has an impressive period history having been sold new to American race car driver and former Le Mans winner Ed Hugus. Hugus raced 718-024 in the instantly recognizable “Lucybelle III” livery at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in the subsequent years, the Porsche was raced in both USAC and SCCA events as well as at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb in 1962.
