Its a '65 or 66 912 engine in some funky colors. I just bought one as a core that was running recently. It was $3k but was missing muffler and generator. You can check the classifieds, Samba, Ebay etc. but you will see them in the $4-$5k range. Perhaps somebody would take a chance and pay more. Who knows. I think the 912 engines are desirable for various reasons. They can be converted for use in a 356, have the most hp of the 356/912 engines (except the 4 can engine) have the good heads/crankshaft/cam/rods and are 12 volt. It looks its still in the car. Whats happening with that?
