SO..........Magnus did not sell that car.

Magnuswalker911.com for "the rest of the story...."

For those skipping the blog entry, some guy who previously owned & sold the original engine saw the kardex in the ebay ad, and hooked Mr. Walker up with the new owner.

After some negotiations (and no doubt a hefty transfer of fundage) the red '65 has been reunited with its original (and now beautifully rebuilt) engine.

Maybe it is worth it to Mr. Walker to rebuild it -- or maybe the for sale price just doubled!

Cool story, though. You gotta love the power of the interwebs.

This car had a lot going for it from a "matchmaking" standpoint:

1. The Magnus Walker connection

2. Featured on Bring a Trailer.com

Tens of thousands of eyeballs perused those ads.

What am I missing? That's a link to his '72. Or is the '65 also back on the market?

No, I think somehow someone bought the '65 and 'front' dated it into the '72...seems like a good idea to me.
