Default 993TT engine needed

Nice color combo that needs an engine. Wonder if carfax is clean. I know there are a few engines here.

It will be interesting to see what that sells for.

Default Color me skeptical...

Are not all Turbo's motors blown? Or is that supercharged...

Would think a rebuild of the motor would be the best way to get the value, once the "matching" numbers change ... So why the "hunt" for a new motor? Seen 3.6 replacement motors at salvage sites (LA Dismantler, etc) in the recent past. The phrase "blown motor" has lots of questions, so far with few answers. A good rebuild could increase the street value if not the collector value. Lots of unanswered questions.

Will be interesting to follow its journey

Great color combo.

I think the big tickets in question are condition of the transmission, AC, suspension, brakes and a straight body. Gearbox being the big one due to "blown" engine..

Chao just buy it and stop teasing everyone. You know that you and Quad have been dying for a LS conversion.

Why look for a engine, just rebuild the one that's in there.

Is it Iris Blue?

Not for someone who wanted a pristine turn key car, but perfect for someone who doesn't mind a project. They can control the build to their liking. Notice the intercooler shroud leaning against the wall.

Is that an IMSA decal on the passenger rear window?

Needless to say, the Pelican poster's PM box is full.

Hershey has auctions?

Regards,

Would be a great project

Saw it at Hershey ,I think it already had 196k on the chassis and the fact that it has lost a rod I believe is where the need for a replacement motor comes in...
Last bidding was $68.5k and climbing...Bert
