A wrecked Porsche that may have belonged to 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed turned up on a salvage car auction website called Copart.  

First reported by The Drive, the car, a green Porsche 911 GT2 RS, reportedly has a matching VIN number to the vehicle that Reed purchased after he won at Augusta National. Reed’s representatives did not respond to Sports Illustrated’s request for comment.

Reed customized his car to include a green paint job, as well as yellow calipers, stitching and seatbelts. The car in the photo that has emerged shares the same details. 

The Porsche is estimated to cost $450,873 and there are only 1,000 of that particular model in the United States. When the similar vehicle was posted to Copart’s website, it was listed as having just 360 miles. 

Photos show that the car with extensive damage, but it is unclear how it occurred. There are signs of extreme wreckage on both sides of the vehicle. 

Reed posted an Instagram photo of his personalized Porsche in 2019. He referred to the car as his “commemorate Masters GT2 RS.”
