Looking for a nice fender cooler for a '69.

A word to the wise...most of the used original Porsche front fender oil coolers are extremely rare, expensive and likely to leak. Make sure it is pressure-tested before you buy.

You other choices are to buy a new aftermarket cooler from someone like Elephant Racing or to buy the newly-reissued Porche front cooler for about $2,400.

Good luck,
Alan

At a minimum they need to be ultrasonically cleaned and pressure tested.

I paid $1466 for a new Porsche one. They are very nice, albeit green.

Simon,

Absolutely an inaccurate part; not built even remotely like an original.

But they are brand new.

I understand that Frank. I didn't say it was 100% the same as the original. My point was on the price comment made by Lopena - Its not $2400.

But if you want to buy a NEW cooler that is made by Porsche as a replacement option - this is it, and the price is ok when compared with an original. I have kept my truly original one on the shelf all refurbished from Pacific Cooler.

Simon:

Thanks for the pricing information. I got the $2,400 price from the Stoddards website.

Who’s selling them for $1,466? I might actually buy one at that price!

Getporscheparts.com. Their discounts vary daily, but tend to be good because they hold a small inventory and instead order from the factory when needed. Today it’s 1533.

There are currently two for sale on ebay. One is reasonably priced at about $1900, while the other is priced like the guy doesn't want to sell it at $50,000. Wow!
