Update 10/14/2012: The final Urban Outlaw documentary has been posted on Reelhouse.
Posted 5/31/2012: Magnus Walker is a long time Porsche enthusiast who has managed to put together one of the most diverse and hardcore collections of early, outlaw-style 911s in the world. His stated goal is to own every 911 between the first year of production, 1964, and 1973. Today his collection is only missing an example from the last year of long hood production.
While his passion is largely focused around early long hood 911s he also owns one of the rare and desirable 1976 Carrera MFI 2.7 with the 911/83 engine. I managed to meet Magnus at the LA Lit and Toy Show earlier this year for a quick chat about his Carrera. His '76 Carrera is painted 936 silver with a black interior, non-sunroof, whale tail, chrome trim, and only a driver side mirror. Picture is the Carrera with Fuchs wheels but when Magnus bought the car it came with correct date coded ATS cookie cutter wheels. It is unknown if the car originally came with the ATS cookie cutters, but these were available as an option on Carrera 3.0 cars at that time.
Documentary filmaker Tamir Moscovici recently released a trailer for his upcoming film Urban Outlaw which profiles Magnus Walker's obsession with the 911. Magnus's silver '76 Carrera MFI 2.7 makes a brief cameo in the trailer at offset 00:52 where it can be found in the bottom left hand corner. I really look forward to seeing the finished film, as well as exactly what '73 911 ends up in Magnus's garage.
