Didn't someone just post that a couple of days ago?
Different, one

That is the same one I posted in the speedster classifieds. If it's not, they used the same image with the blurry edges. It would be very odd if it were a different motor. Stuttgart only produced like 1200. 4 cam motors.
No worries,

TRP posted this 2 days ago. https://www.speedsterowners.com...4-cam-motor-not-mine It's the same auction #, all the info's the same with 6 bids and it's at $130,200.

Ha!
I hear some joker is making a fan shroud / generator combo which will open up a whole new market for 547 replica motors. 
I can't wait to see your shroud when it comes to market. I'm sure it will be a thing of beauty.

The 4 cam, at the $100k price, needs to come with an excellent car wrapped around it, as I said in the other thread. This one needs to come with just a really nice car wrapped around it at the $55k price.
Except now, I think the motor is over 120k!
There is some drama over it being a GT or non GT motor.
Ted
I only see one thing, $120,000! GT, not GT, doesn't make any difference to me. I'm out. Give me the Raby engine in Rich Drewek's car.
You can have the motor, if I can have the car.

Just saw that the seller ended the auction due to "an error in the listing".
He is removing all references to GT/GS/Carrera and just calling it a 547/1 engine and relisting it on Monday.
You think maybe some of those obsessive compulsive nitpickers from the "real Porsche" community were driving this guy nuts with challenges and questions?
From the auction:
On Jan-10-14 at 06:31:39 PST, seller added the following information: In a few minutes I will cancel this auction.
Mainly because of the confusion regarding "GT" -vs- "Carrera" -vs- "plain ol' 4-cam motor" designations.
I am notifying the current bidders about this cancellation directly.
As well, notifying a few serious 'players' interested in purchasing the motor who have expressed some concern over the referenced 'confusion'.
(While 99% of them know exactly what this motor is, and isn't - there's that 1% I don't need to encounter at the close of the auction.)
The motor will reappear as an eBay auction on MONDAY next.
All the details shall remain the same, save for any mention of any 'qualifying designators'.
It's 'just' a Porsche 4-cam motor, Typ 547/1.
Simple as that.
Sure seems fishy,
Ted
Did this thing get re-listed? I can't seem to find it.
Nearly a quarter of a million dollars!?
So who's more crazy? The seller or the guy who buys it?
Ted
Unfortunately, If you have a Carrera with no motor, its not a bad price. you can easily spend 100,000.00 on a rebuild. Fan Shroud set up alone is at least $20,000.00
Where can you fine one?
5 day auction? Interesting tactic. I'm guessing he had enough serious interest before, combined with frustration, that he is forcing the markets hand. Wire the money or get out of the way.
I'm guessing he already has acceptable offers and now he is milking it.
I don't know, is $1,500+ per cc about right for an engine?
