I'm looking for opinions on the value of a 7R 911 engine case, fully machined and Case Savers installed by Ollie's? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

So now that you have multiple opinions is the case for sale or is it going to be used for art (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Breaking news: I checked the case serial number with factory records and it is a 1975, 2.7 "S" case, also the same specs as a '75 USA Carrera. I'm still not sure what to do with this thing. All opinions welcome.

IIRC 75-77 they are all "S" cases, nothing special.

I believe the 1975's were all thermal reactor cars in the US. And the cases from that year were considered the least desirable as they have all been thermally stressed by the reactors.
