Nice - any more pics of the one with the Fuch style?

Here are some more looks (some gray). MiamiC70 may want to post pics of his, too.

It's Nr. 0850 for sale currently in Germany. Not very good pics on their website. This is the best they have.

I don't have Fuch's but I do have matte black Victor Innsbruck's on there now.

my wheels need a refurb and I was also considering black, looking at black chrome as a possible.

Someone with a 40th AE with blown engine due to IMS failure $23k or best offer on eBay.

What's a new engine cost 14-19K? Maybe a good candidate for a Raby built engine.

It is #657 btw.


There is also a functioning one on eBay at a Porsche dealer too - 38.9K. They said they did the IMS. Obviously that is their asking price, because they both have make offers available, but I think I would rather get a 997.

Wow - I just got that car' s info from the salesman at that dealership yesterday. That car was apparently previously purchased through them and now traded on something else. They were asking $44,900 (http://www.champagnemotorcarcompany....zip=&distance=). $20K haircut in 24 hours. Yikes.

Steve2112

Holy cow - what a coincidence.

So the dealership took the haircut, not a customer if I am understanding what happened correctly.

I would like to have my a 40th AE again - I miss mine. I am going to send them an offer I know they will refuse, just to see - who knows, maybe they will take it and I will put it on my Visa and save it for a future Raby engine :-)

I really like the pic of the stock wheels refinished in gunmetal. Might have to do that down the road.

Steve2112,
Ready when you are.

Another poor 996 that just didn't get driven enough. A 40AE with one of Jake's engines would be pretty sweet!

Steve2112

Thanks Jake.

I really like the 40th, but to make the numbers work with a new engine & the shipping charges from the auction to me, and then shipping the car to you and back and still pay a fair market value he would have to sell that rolling chassis to me for $7000. Offer declined by the seller of course - he is better parting it out instead of taking my offer, plus he has the sting of the 20K haircut (or whatever the true haircut was on the trade-in price).

I think I was being very impulsive - I can get like that :-)

Thats why we fill 40AE engine bays 5-6 times per year :-)

The latest one went 4.0 and made 347 RWHP and over 300# of torque :-)

MiamiC70

Which 40th AE #'s have your engine in them?
5 - 6 a year there must be 20 = 3- at least running around.
I would love to talker to some of those folks, maybe i'll update mine down the road too. So how about some 40th AE numbers? There is a registry many 40th AE are accounted for and on this forum Jake.
