This is one of the last remaining engines that were stolen from the Vasek and Maria Polak Charitable Trust Foundation in 2000. It's a 3.4L 911 engine, apparently based on a 993 / 964 platform. It has the very distinctive RSR-style twin-plug distributor, and the racing valve covers, and front timing chain covers.
It probably would have been sold by a shop in Southern California to an unsuspecting customer. We estimate the value of this engine to be in the range of $15-$30K.
Anyone with information on this engine should contact Paul Cohen at 310-589-9002. He is leading the investigation on this.
Thanks,
Wayne
