- Magnus Walker is auctioning off 18 cars from his Porsche collection.
- The cars are being auctioned through RM Sotheby’s, with bidding taking place March 18-25.
- Highlights include rare models such as a 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI (1 of 113 built) and several custom-built 1960s–70s Porsche 911 ‘Outlaws’.
- Walker said the sale of the collection was ‘crunching my skin’, not a complete solution.
A tall, if shaggy, figure in the world of air-cooled Porsches is letting go of the bulk of his collection—and that means this is your chance to bid on some special Stuttgart metal at auction. Yes, we’re talking about Magnus Walker who is selling 18 cars, including some of his signature custom 1960s and 1970s 911s via RM Sotheby’s auction starting Wednesday, March 18.
There are no duds here, but of the cars on offer, there are a few that stand out. The 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI is the rarest and most valuable car here, just one of 113 examples built of Porsche’s last road car with mechanical fuel injection. It wears attractive silver-blue paint over a tartan plaid interior and is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $250,000 at auction.

Oldest car? A 1965 short-wheelbase 911 in a silver and gold paint scheme with blue-red racing stripes, it is thought to be one of the first cars imported by the Florida dealer and Brumos Porsche racing team. There’s also a stunning 1967 911 S given the full Outlaw treatment, ’67’ racing decals, Outlaw Fifteen52 wheels, and a contrasting red hood.
If you can’t get enough of naturally aspirated thrills, Walker is selling a 1976 911 Turbo—the first year Porsche offered a forced-induction model in the U.S.—and a 2002 911 GT2. His collection isn’t limited to air-cooled cars; besides the GT2, there was the 2004 ‘996’ GT3 and several front-engined 928, 924, 944 and 968 models from Porsche’s transaxle era.

Finally, for those with an adventurous spirit, the offerings include an incomplete 1965 912 project car and a 1968 ‘Urban Outlaw Starter Kit’, which includes a complete 911 L coupe body, 2.0-liter flat-six engine, five-speed gearbox, plenty of spare parts, and, of course, stickers.
My personal choice? Original 1966 short wheelbase 911 in Irish Green with factory steel wheels. It’s simple and elegant—and it’s estimated at $100,000 to $150,000, well outside my price range.
In addition to the dozen and a half cars, Walker is also selling 142 lots of parts and memorabilia, including engines, seats, rims and art, all of which can be viewed on the auction site.

Don’t worry—Walker won’t be out of the Porsche game forever. In a podcast appearance on Spike’s Car Radio, he revealed that although he sold 18 Porsches, he kept the other 13 for himself. So think of this as a deep clean or spring clean, not a total escape.
“I reached a point where this unbridled hobby defined who I was, and it felt like shedding my skin, a kind of rebirth. It took me a while to get to the point where I was ready to let some of these cars go,” Walker told RM Sotheby’s.
Interested bidders can check out all lots and register to bid RM Sotheby’s websiteand the offer runs from March 18 to 25.
