Magnus Walker's 'Porsche Purge' Has Begun--Take a Look at Wave 1!

Intro

Magnus Walker knows fashion and he knows Porsche. He fell in love with the 911 was he was a little boy living in Britain. He eventually dropped out of school, moved to California and began his own clothing brand. He was then able to live out his childhood dream of buying a Porsche 911. But one was not enough. He bought another and another and another. He owns dozens of Porsches, and he doesn’t keep them stock. He modifies them all with his own Urban Outlaw style. But now it is time for him to let some of his prized Porsches go.

RM Sotheby’s is presenting Magnus Walker: The Outlaw Collection. It is a 162-lot collection that will include cars as well as memorabilia. The auction will run from March 18-25, and the lots are slowly being revealed. As of now only the first eight cars have been made known. But they are all incredible and they are all being offered at no reserve. The next group of lots are expected to drop on February 23. For now we are going to take a closer look at these first eight cars. The oldest is a 1965 911 and the newest is a 2004 911 GT3. Are you planning to add any of these to your collection?  

1. 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI

We start with one of the rarest cars in the entire collection. It is a 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI. It uses the same engine that powers the 1973 Carrera RS. Just 113 of these cars were built for 1976. These were the final Porsche road cars equipped with mechanical fuel-injection. The car is finished in silver over vinyl sport seats with blue and white tartan fabric inserts. The car has a preauction estimate of $200,000-$250,000.

2. 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo

All 1976 Porsche 911 Turbos are desirable but the Euro models even more so thanks to their slightly more powerful engine. This one is a Swiss car with a numbers-matching 260-hp 3.0-liter turbo engine and equipped with a RarlyL8 Hooligan exhaust. Adding style and grip are the deep-dished Fuchs-inspired wheels built in collaboration with Fifteen52. They are fitted in a staggered setup with 225-50-15 up front and 245-45-50 at the rear with sticky Hoosier R6 rubber. Other modifications include blue seats covered in leather and corduroy sourced from Walker’s 1978 911 “78SCHR.” You will use a Momo Mod.7 steering wheel to control this car. Preauction estimate is $175,000-$200,000.

3. 1965 Porsche 911

This 1965 Porsche 911 is reportedly the 310th 911 ever made. It was originally delivered to Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, Florida. The car has been fitted with Fuchs wheels, and vintage black Scheel bucket seats with houndstooth inserts. The silver exterior is set off by a slate gray stripe flanked by subtle burgundy accents, with bronze gold touches on the bumpers and sides. It has been part of Walker’s collection since 2009. Preauction estimate is $150,000-$200,000.

4. 1967 Porsche 911 S

OK, this is the one I want. Nobody else bid on this one, OK? Do we have a deal? This is a 1967 911 S with a numbers-matching six-cylinder engine which has been enlarged to 2.3-liters. The transmission is not original, but it is a period-correct Porsche 902/02–type gearbox numbered 1283692. Inside are vintage Ultra Shield racing bucket seats with red tartan inserts. Walker had the front hood painted, added a rear decklid, fitted a sport exhaust, installed his own steering wheel, and put it on a set of my concave Outlaw wheels. The preauction estimate is $150,000-$200,000. Although I should be able to get it for much less since you all agreed not to bid against me, right?

5. 2002 Porsche 911 GT2

One of the newer cars in the collection is this 2002 911 GT2. One of only 184 to come to the U.S. that year. It is finished in Black over a full leather interior in special-order Natural Brown. Props to the previous owners for actually driving this car. It currently has 95,284 miles on the clock. The 996-generation GT2 is an extreme car in every sense of the word. It is the last GT2 to use rear-wheel drive. This car has a preauction estimate of $125,0000-$150,000.

6. 1966 Porsche 911

Who doesn’t want an Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911? And unlike some other cars in his collection, this one remains largely original. The type 901/0 gearbox numbered 100717 is not original and neither are the gray-coated steel wheels. But the engine, Black leatherette interior, carpets, and wood-rimmed steering wheel are all original. Not quite a time capsule car, but close. Preauction estimate is $100,000-$150,000.

7. 2004 Porsche 911 GT3

The first 911 GT3 that you could buy in the U.S. This Arctic Silver over Grey Natural Leather example would be a tremendous addition to any collection. Walker acquired the car in 2016 and began to make it his own with his usual flare. The hood, rear spoiler, and wheels were painted black. The front lip spoiler was finished in orange, racing-number roundels were added to both doors, and blue Brumos Racing-inspired stripes were applied to the bodywork. This is another car with some miles on it. 66,753 miles show on the clock, and it has participated in Porsche Club of America track days. Just like every GT3 should. Preauction estimate is $100,000-$125,000.

8. 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 'Flat-Nose' Widebody Conversion

This is probably the most modified car among the first drop of cars being offered. This car began life as a 1974 911 Carrera 2.7 coupe. The engine was replaced with a Carrera RS 2.7 MFI-specification flat-six built on a 1973 911 E 2.4 crankcase. But that engine is not the first thing you notice. That would be the Porsche 935-inspired “Flat-Nose” widebody fiberglass kit by American Racing International that was installed in the 1980s. Good luck blending into traffic in this car. Preauction estimate is $75,000-$100,000.
