Even smaller artifacts, such as a 911 S 2.4-liter engine, a vintage sign, and a pair of Magnus Walker-signed Nike Dunk sneakers, achieved considerable prices, with the sneakers alone selling for $3,360. The least expensive item, a set of 911 Pistons, sold for $48, potentially offering a savvy buyer a valuable restoration component or a collectible to be further enhanced by Walker's signature.
