Magnus Walker recently cleaned house by unloading tons of Porsche cars, merchandise, parts, and other assorted items he’s collected over the years. In total, the Outlaw Collection auction featured 16 complete cars among 160 items for sale.
The auction was managed by RM Sotheby’s, which states that the collection brought in $2 million and had a 100 percent sell-through rate. Clearly, the Magnus Walker allure was high, and fans came out in force to snag anything they could.
The big-ticket item proved to be Magnus’ 1967 Porsche 911 S. It’s an excellent example bearing many Magnus Walker touches, such as Fifteen52 wheels, a contrasting-color hood, and a numbers-matching yet modified 2.3-liter flat-six engine.
Pre-auction estimates pegged the value between $150,000 and $200,000. Yet this one managed to go for a fairly staggering $308,000.
There was also a 911 S 2.4-liter engine, which sold for $27,600. Someone bought an old sign for $7,500. And someone even paid $3,360 for a pair of Magnus Walker-signed Nike Dunk sneakers.
The least expensive item? A set of 911 Pistons that sold for $48. Maybe the buyer can get Magnus to sign those, and then flip them for more money. Or maybe they actually need them to restore a car, in which case that’s probably a good deal.
You can head to RM Sotheby’s to see the complete auction results.
Motor1’s Take: The Magnus Walker name clearly packs a punch in the Porsche community. Lots of the cars sold above their pre-auction estimates, and the rest of the lots did well, too.
This means Magnus has space to add more things… or he’s realized the beauty in simplifying everything in your life and scaling back.
