Magnus Walker's 1965 911 for Sale 
Magnus Walker's 1965 911
We're always on eBay looking to see what's for sale in the world of Porsche.  The other day we happened upon a listing for a longhood 911 with pictures and a writing style that had a familiar feeling to them.  The more we read, the more we were convinced this 911 was owned by Magnus Walker. The problem was the seller didn't come out and say so.  No problem. We simply contacted Magnus directly and he confirmed it was in fact his.  Bidding has been fairly intense and there isn't much time left before it sells.

Stop Motion Porsche Engine Tear Down
We're not exaggerating, you have to watch this video!  Who are these people that come up with these ideas?  Watch as a Porsche 3.2 liter engine is deconstructed using the magic of stop motion photography.  I can't even begin to imagine how long creating this video must have taken.   It's like Davey and Goliath on meth (I might be showing my age with that reference).  I can't wait to see the follow-up that shows the rebuild.  If you only do one thing today, watch this video!

porsche ppi
We've talked about the importance of a pre-purchase inspection for your Porsche many times in the past and think that the  checklist offered in this Porsche Buyer's Guide is one of the most thorough we've seen in a while.
