I and a buddy picked up a pretty much complete engine, drive train, and front suspension off a 1964 356c coupe. The odometer showed 69,000 miles, and from what one can see with a quick inspection that mileage may be correct. The engine has matching numbers on all 3 case parts. It appears as if the case has never been split, but it does appear as if the heads have been off and the valves ground. The seller kept the carbs, which were pretty rough and not worth nearly the value he assigned them. They were 40mm Webers, so they were not original. The transmission looks good as do the brakes (aluminum drums) on all 4 wheels. All the brake drums are useable and generally pretty clean. Backing plates need to be cleaned and painted as does the engine tin etc. We have the original heat boxes and the like but they are a bit ratty and not wanted for a Speedster or Spyder in most cases anyhow. If someone is interested in all or part drop me a note, would be nice to see the engine and tranny go into a Speedster...by the way, we have the entire front beam too..... we are selling this as is, it was run briefly last month, it seems to have good compression, I would plan to do an overhaul, not run the engine as is. I am more than happy to send photos to interested parties....
