oh, well, no doubt it’s worth $140K then for a bug engine.

Hmm... if I was ever able to spend at least $170K for automotive bliss, I’m thinking it would probably include an actual car.... 😯

 

Does that mean I’m un-sophisticated, or does it simply mean I’m a poor slob? 😋

You can start it on a stand every few years though.

But only if a four-cam expert is standing by... 😉

It's a 4 Cam Fuhrmann. Wait until someone puts in back into a Speedster and see what that car goes for!

Super, super cool engine. Feels like the holy grail of the Porsche marque...

More likely it means your cerebrum is functioning properly and is equipped with a reasonable supply of rationality/common sense.

Head out to the Lakeway Friday Car Club lunches, Jason. This guy drives his original, non-restored, one-family-owned, 4 cam Carrera 2 all the time. Super cool car.

I’m not immune to the beauty and rarity of a mid-‘50’s 4-cam, Nick. It’s just so much money for something that is so far short of a drivable car. It’s simply too far out my league!

 

And I’m guessing it will sell for some multiple of the current $170K!

 

Best regards,

You still can buy a replica if it’s too expensive

Hats off to him!  I love seeing this - drive it, drive it, drive it!

 

Absolutely stunning color too.

 

Thanks Ed.
