For those of us who plan on keeping these cars for ever, would it be wise to buy one of these NLA cases, just in case something terrible happens and would have one readily available? Anyone has one for sale ( 3.3 T) at bit more affordable price?

Wouldn’t surprise me if they are all gone at this point. Likely a good long term investment.

If I didn't already have 2 engines I would have considered one. The fitting kits (964vs993 etc.) were not out last I checked but I assume they will follow.

has anyone heard from adam? I can't even get a refund from him for a oil filter console I bought at the time of case order.... just keep getting the run around.
I ordered a case a year ago with multiple promise dates... all of which have come and gone. he says he refunded my $ for the console. after I asked for a wire confirmation he has ounce again gone quite on me...

I think a check in from other case buyers would be appropriate here...

I paid for mine in Nov last year.. Was promised a case by end of August then sept. and son on.... Adam told me he had made 5 cases if I recall and he said he sold them all to rothsport racing as he found a foundry to make a nicer " looking case" he said jeff didn't mind being they were for race engines.... I said mine was for a race engine and asked why I wasn't given a opportunity to take one as I wanted for a race engine as well. just excuse after excuse..

I am hesitant to click to read updates to this thread when I see them. This is crazy and I feel for everyone involved.
