THE BREAKDOWN

A towering, if shaggy, figure in the air-cooled Porsche world is letting go of a large portion of his collection—and that means it’s your chance to bid on some special Stuttgart metal at auction. Yes, we’re talking about Magnus Walker, who is selling 18 cars, including several of his trademark custom 1960s and 1970s 911s via an RM Sotheby’s auction starting Wednesday, March 18.

There are no duds here, but of the cars offered, a few stand out. A 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI is the rarest and most valuable car here, just one of 113 examples built of Porsche’s final road car with mechanical fuel injection. It wears an eye-catching silver-and-blue paint job over a tartan plaid interior and is estimated to fetch between $200,000 and $250,000 at auction.

The oldest car? A 1965 short-wheelbase 911 in a silver-and-gold paint scheme with a blue-and-red racing stripe, considered to be one of the first handful imported by Florida dealer and race team Brumos Porsche. There’s also a stunning 1967 911 S that’s been given the full Outlaw treatment, sporting ‘67’ racing decals, Outlaw Fifteen52 wheels, and a contrasting red hood.

If you’re not satisfied with naturally-aspirated thrills, Walker is selling a 1976 911 Turbo—the first year Porsche offered the forced-induction model in the US—and a 2002 911 GT2. The collection isn’t limited to just air-cooled cars; in addition to the GT2, there’s a 2004 ‘996’ GT3 and several front-engined 928, 924, 944, and 968 models from Porsche’s transaxle era.

Finally, for the more adventurous souls out there, the offerings include an incomplete 1965 912 project car and a 1968 911 ‘Urban Outlaw Starter Kit,’ which includes a complete 911 L coupe body, a 2.0-liter flat-six engine, a five-speed gearbox, spare parts galore, and, of course, stickers. 

My personal pick? An original 1966 short-wheelbase 911 in Irish Green with factory steel wheels. It’s simple and elegant—and at an estimated $100,000 to $150,000, way out of my price range.

In addition to the dozen-and-a-half cars, Walker is also selling 142 lots of spares and memorabilia, including engines, seats, wheels, and art, all of which can be viewed on the auction website.

Don’t worry—Walker isn’t exiting the Porsche game for good. In a podcast appearance on Spike’s Car Radio, he revealed that while he’s selling 18 Porsches, he’s keeping another 13 for himself. So consider this a pare-down or a spring cleaning, not a total exit.

"I reached a point where this out-of-control hobby had come to define who I am in a way, and it feels like shedding my skin, a kind of rebirth. It has taken me some time to get to this point where I am ready to let some of these cars go," Walker told RM Sotheby’s.

Motor1's Take: If you want to own some of the coolest Porsche 911s ever created, owned by one of the biggest collectors in the game, now is your chance. That is, assuming you have lots of cash to spend.
