Our Favorite Porsches On eBay: Volume 19
future barn find
For all of the eccentric and eclectic Porsche collectors and enthusiasts out there, we've decided that it is about time someone aggregated the best of the best that eBay has to offer in the Porsches-for-sale department. Now we've tracked down six more exciting Porsches for folks to purchase. The 911-heavy list this week includes a 993 Turbo S Cabriolet (sort of), A 1967 911 Hot Rod, A pretty-in-purple 964 Cabriolet, a gorgeously prepared 996, and a stunning 991 Turbo S. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Video: 40 Years Of The Porsche 911 With Magnus Walker
997 vs 1975 turbo and 2015 turbo
Released in 1975, the Porsche 930 Turbo would spark the imagination and dreams of many including our friend Magnus Walker. After collecting several early Turbos and still in need of the holy grail - a first year 1975 model, he acquired 1 of 15 right hand drive examples. The guys at eGarage met up with Magnus in the canyons near his garage, along with the current 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo, to see just how much has changed in the last 40 years for this iconic Porsche. See for yourself in this video.
