    Is this the first Sporto engine case? 1968 race engine I'm getting ready

    Really just took note of the serial number on this aluminum 68 case. Case has all the race tricks , boat tailed, squirters...
    Just thought it might be of interest to the group.

    Lots of zeros always interesting.

    However, I still think it’s worth more as a fully prepped race case.

    I agree Frank going into my 914-6 but I also know you want to be part of Sporto history. I'll trade you for another case and one of those Pauter cranks!

    Red Book lists engine serial numbers for '68 US market Sportos as 3380001 - 3380464. Apparently this is the first.
    (a) 1970 911T Sportomatic coupe
    (b) 2016 E350 4MATIC wagon; parts hauler for (a)
    ESR #1474

    Did this engine come from Northern California?

    Apparently no one does or ever did. This number doesn’t show up as having actually been installed in a car during production.

    They should have quit while they were ahead.

    Congrats John; you have a slice of almost meaningless Porsche history but you WILL be a god to saxomat fanboys. All ten of them!

    So you’ve got THAT going for you. ������

    That would be the 911R which Elfort drove at Le marathon de la route!
