Could you help me on a price for a 912 engine?
I have an 912 engine that I took out of my Porsche about 5 years ago because the body had rusted. It has been stored in my garage under a tarp since then. It has exactly 7 miles on it. The distance from the shop where it had just been rebuilt to my home. Then I got injured pretty seriously and couldn't drive it at all until I had it removed.
I was going to put it up for sale and don't know what something like that is worth. Could you give me a range on it? Thanks ... |

Range $2500 to $7000.
How did you put it up? Is there documentation to what was done. Was the work done at a reputable shop? How complete is it? What year case? Are you willing to ship it? Some details can help narrow the range. Might be higher, might be lower?

Do you recall the rebuild specifics? Big bore or standard? Pictures are helpful too. If it can't be run before buying, then most would consider it a non runner and price it accordingly.

Hi,
You know I am not a mechanic. It was done by a mechanic named ART STANGE Jr in campbell, ca. He did a great job and is well known. It is just a standard engine, stock, complete. No problems at all in the 7 miles I drove it. ; '> It has not been started in at least 5 years but it literally has NO MILES on it. It sat until I pulled it out and stored in under a tarp in my garage on the concrete under a shelf totally dry. It has all the carbs. I guess I can take some pictures. Don't know what they will show. I guess I could get a mechanic to come up and try and start it. Hopefully it will start. |

I sent you an email via Craigslist. What year is the engine? Dean |

Hello, it is a 1968. I called the shop in Sunnyvale. Denny, the guy who did the work is now a supervisor at another shop. The new owner said I should have someone take the engine and transmission apart, organize the components and sell them online because they are basically new and I would make twice the money. I would love that but it might be too much of a hassle plus I have been getting flooded with emails from Craigslist.
I think I will take some pictures like I said above land put them up here. You all know what you are doing, I don't. |

Hi mate
I'm over in the uk and in need of an engine for a 67. If you are still selling it a don't mind packaging (I can organise shipping) then let me know. ( I bought a car without an engine and the wife has not stopped mocking me) Cheers |
