    1965 Aluminum Case 911 2.0 Running Engine

    I have acquired from the purchase of a kit car a complete running 1965 aluminum case 911 2.0 with 40 IDA Webers. The car was assembled with all the parts from the 65, brakes, wheels, trans ect. The gage cluster says 52,000 miles that are probably original but no way to verify. Previous owner said it was rebuilt with high compression pistons and updated cams. I can not verify but is sounds like it would. It also has the central located intake air filter assembly that I have been told is probably from a 67 or 68 911 that I hear is very rare also.
    From what I understand this is a highly sought after engine for the vintage guys but the vintage value doesn't mean squat for this kit car. Upon doing some research I have seen the cases alone listed for 22-45,000. I have 2 directions to go. Option 1 - Sell the complete running engine outright with the gauges and oil tank – preferred. Option2 - Take in a good complete running 2.7-3.0 and cash trade towards it. I would want the 2.7-3.0 with Webers and a points distributor and a flywheel to fit a VW bell housing. I want to hook up a low pressure fuel pump and a wire to the coil and have it run. I Don't want to deal with FI at this point.
    I am a VW guy and have never dealt with the flat 6. Getting feedback that one of these complete depending on running condition will bring $25-35,000 outright so that’s the area I want to be in.
    S/N on case 901/01 with 1937 stamped below that. Another number I find *902037* hopefully this helps. You can see and hear it run here

    Will assume your price is $25,000 unless you otherwise specify a different amount. Price ranges are not allowed. Good luck with your sale.
