Magnus Walker Porsche 911 930 Turbo for sale

Magnus Walker is a Los Angeles based Porsche collector that is known for restoring and more importantly actually using early air cooled Porsche 911s on the roads around his warehouse based home. His ambition was to own every 911 from 1964 to 1973. It is not often that a car that enters his own personal collection ends up back on the market.

He is currently selling a 1977 930 Turbo in black with black leather on eBay with no reserve. Bidding is currently at $111,000 with a day to go. I’d expect to see it reach around $130k by the time the auction ends. SInce this car was originally supposed to be a keeper, he has had the engine properly sorted, and also stripped and rebuilt the transmission.

Rumour is that the only reason why he is letting this one go is because he subsequently found another 1977 930 Turbo in a rarer colour combination, Ice Green Metallic with tartan plaid interior. These early turbo cars are on the rise generally, however the fact that this is a mechanically sorted car owner by the Urban Outlaw itself will make it sell for a significant premium, despite a slightly shabby interior.
