Thanks Dave
The guys working on this one had it running well it sounded very healthy and smooth. It was in the Aarth in the 1st pic.
Oh, and what Dave didn't tell you is they are hellishly expensive! A good motor is easily $50 - $75k.
There aren't that many guys left that know how to build them either.
I met a guy who thought about selling his 58 GT and was trying to help sell it for him, but it didn't happen.
All I wanted was just to hear it and drive it once.
Oh yeah, forgot about the $$.
A local guy, Bill Benz, has a 57 Speedster with a four-cam motor in it. Amazing thing. He brings it out and autocrosses it occasionally, which is just a joy to see. That car is not a museum piece, it gets flogged quite hard on occasion! "The concours guys all look at me funny, but I tell them that I only have $17K into the car--apart from the motor, of course." Uhhh, Bill--the motor is worth more than your Carrera 2 cost brand new!! But is sure is nice to see (and hear!!!) it zoom around the cones.
There's a company now in Germany that is repop'ing the four-cam parts. You can build yourself a 904 two-liter race motor out of all brand-new parts that never came near Zuffenhausen! Purdy kewl, that. Definitely some demand there.
