On October 8th an 914/6 engine block number 640 4792 was listed for sale in the classified ads. Unfortunately I missed this listing because as it turns out this is the numbers matching block for one of my 914/6s (914.043.1277). As luck would have it @porbmw Paul bought the engine and as soon as he found out it belonged to my car plans were made to return the block. I cannot thank Paul enough for his understanding and kindness…what a class act!!

This is why I do a yearly engine inventory and post it on-line, about once a year I re-unite a car with it's original engine, it's a great feeling. Sometimes the car is a world away.

???? I thought your car was a conversion, and that you were the one who converted it?

That is an amazingly cool story, and I can say from dealings with Paul, he is in fact a class act. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Since we are on the topic of reuniting engines with chassis......

I own chassis 1945

It came to me without its' engine....

I SHOULD have gotten a COA while Porsche was still listing engine numbers in the COAs....my bad for procrastinating

BUT

If anyone has any info on "the car"...previous history/owner/etc...so I can reach out and try to get the engine number...or...if you happen to know of the engine's location.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I bought the car perhaps 10 or so years ago, from Steve Demosthenes (sp..?...he owned Route 66 in Oregon but unfortunately apparently passed away not long ago).
I have info from another source showing it was for sale in the 90's, with little success..it was advertised as silver, with engine etc...rust free but body on the rough side.

The "story" I got from Steve on the car was that someone bought it, started to do a GT tribute...had a shop put on steel flares and body work, took it to a shop for other repairs and the engine/tranny and other bits "disappeared", and the PO gave up on the project and sold it to Steve....and I acquired it.

Anyway...if there is info out there, would be very appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Newb question but being a 1970, would you be able to get a Kardex? Did they do Kardexes for 914s? I know Kouwenhoven can only get them for 911s up to 1969 but they exist for after that.

I have never seen a Kardex for a 914. Very few 1970 Kardex for 911 exist. I also get Kardex for the 356, 911, 912 and some race cars at a good price.
