I had no idea that this car could fetch a price like that..... wow.

Especially with a non-original engine.... damn.

I'm going to watch this..... just out of curiosity....

The last 4 cam engine I built cost the customer 65K and he had a good core!

Reall Carreras have 4 cams and the engine is like working on a Swiss watch... Setting the timing alone is amazingly difficult.

I can't resist showing this picture when anything about these motors comes up. So for those who haven't seen it....

I'm surprised when a four-cammer comes up for sale. These are usually negotiated between those in the know. Very rare and very expensive.

Here is a 1956 Carrera Chassis I just bought. I have been after it for 14 years. It was hit in the rear HARD in 1969. Sitting every since.

wow, that looks clean dave!!! i've always liked the 356s style and sound (from imagination, never rode in a VW or 356[never seen one either] one time in a 911)

If you ever decide you'd like to trade that for a 5' 100 lb German woman with an attitude, just let me know.

Oh yeah, she can cook too...
