RM Sotheby's Magnus Walker 'Outlaw Collection' Auction: Top 10 Sales a

British-born and now Los Angeles-based, Magnus Walker built his reputation for turning air-cooled 911s into deeply personal machines that favor history and individuality over factory perfection. His warehouse in the downtown Arts District in L.A. reflects that mindset, filled with cars, parts, and memorabilia collected over decades.

At RM Sotheby’s, “The Outlaw Collection” brought together 16 cars from a broader 160-lot sale that spanned nearly five decades of Porsche history. From early short wheelbase 911s to turbocharged icons and front engine transaxle cars from the 1980s and 1990s, the lineup mirrored Walker’s own journey through the brand.

The collection achieved about $1,760,000 in total sales for automobiles, outperforming its pre-sale estimate range of $1,250,000 to $1,590,000, including seven cars that sold for over six figures. Overall sales surpassed $2,000,000. To evaluate those results, data from the duPont REGISTRY Garage app and the duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) provide a useful benchmark. dRi is built entirely on real transaction data. From that dataset, three figures are established: a low value, a high value, and a median. That median becomes the dRi market value.

Several cars in Walker’s collection exceeded those benchmarks. A 1967 Porsche 911 S led the group at $308,000, exceeding its pre-auction estimate between $150,000-$200,000. Close behind, a 1965 Porsche 911 hit $225,500, matched exactly by a 1976 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI at the same figure, which also did the same. Early long-hood cars continue to command serious attention, especially when tied to a figure like Walker, whose personal builds have shaped how enthusiasts view air-cooled 911s today.

Then there is the spread, more specifically, 996s. A 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 closed at $159,500, while a 2002 911 GT2 followed at $148,500. Both represent a different era, the first to see water-cooling, sharper, more clinical. Looking at some models from the Translaxle era, Walker’s 1980 924 Turbo sold for $14,850. A 1979 928 changed hands at $14,300. Even a 1987 944 found a new owner at $9,900. These are accessible entry points, and are part of the same narrative, front-engine Porsches that Walker has long championed, often against conventional wisdom.

Some of the most interesting results sit in the middle. The 1980 924 Turbo ‘Holbert Racing’ Widebody achieved $77,000, far above typical expectations for the model. That premium reflects rarity and story, not just specification. The 1974 911 Carrera ‘Flat-Nose’ Widebody Conversion brought in $50,600, showing continued appetite for period-style customization, especially when it aligns with Walker’s aesthetic. In the end, this was not a sale driven by a single hero car, but an underlying philosophy that combines passion, period-correct motorsport cues, and personal expression, which is all about preserving patina rather than restoring it.
