The annual Schroon Lions' Club Auction each Memorial day, always attracts some terrific bargains and a lot of attention from bidders. But this year it could be a race to the finish.

Up for grabs, going once, going twice, going down the Northway at a great rate of speed: a 1984 Porche 944!

That's right folks, that black beauty pictured above, is going under the auctioneer's hammer on Sunday, making last year's years fight over a Corona ice chest, seem a little like drinking a flat beer.

Lion Patti Mehm told us about this incredible donation earlier today:

"Rev up your engines, we had a very generous donation that we are really excited about, a 1984 Porsche 944. It is a black two door and has a slider roof. We believe this will draw a lot of excitement to event, come out and get your bid in and own this vintage sports car!"

Well put Patti!
