Porche Foreign Auto

About

Porche Foreign Auto Wrecking, Inc. is an American vehicle recycling business that has been in operation since 1980. The business, known colloquially as PorFor, was founded in Los Angeles by Rudi Klein (1936–2001), a German immigrant who began purchasing wrecked European exotic cars in the late 1960s and incorporated his business in 1980. Over the course of his career, Klein amassed a vast collection of highly valuable vehicles that were left in derelict condition. In the 21st century, Porche Foreign Auto gained notability in the media for its secrecy and for several of the ultra-rare vehicles it owned. After the owner's death, his family gradually began selling off cars from the collection. In October 2024, the remainder of the junkyard's contents will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's, with the full collection estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
