In a daring move that could only be described as both reckless and audacious, the Donut team acquired the cheapest Porsche 911 in the world for a mere $850. This sorry excuse for a car arrived without an engine, interior, or even usable body panels. The story behind this automotive travesty involves the vehicle being buried under sand and concrete before being sold off on Bring a Trailer. As the team towed the car back to Texas, they were met with a sight that would make any car enthusiast weep - damage caused by a careless forklift driver.

Expert opinions were sought, with John Benson delivering a grim prognosis for the battered Porsche. However, the arrival of the legendary Magnus Walker injected a glimmer of hope into the seemingly hopeless project. Walker's suggestion of a widebody transformation sparked excitement and inspiration within the team, hinting at a potential rebirth for the dilapidated 911. The Porsche community at a show expressed optimism and encouragement, believing that every part of the car was redeemable and replaceable.

Despite the monumental task ahead, the Donut team embraced their newfound status as Porsche owners with determination and resolve. With plans for a potential restoration taking shape, the future of the $850 Porsche remains uncertain yet filled with promise. As they embark on this challenging journey, the team's commitment to breathing new life into this automotive relic is met with anticipation and curiosity from enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this captivating saga.
