Well, the time has come for me to part with this … reluctantly, of course. I have a disassembled engine from a 1967 911S as well as a very nice 901/02 transaxle (with the S gears). For the longest time, all I ever wanted was a 67 S. I knew I’d never afford one with the market really taking off for early S cars. So when I came across this a few years ago, I thought I’d get my S by building it. Well, that is not likely to happen … you have heard the story before … just got married, thinking of starting a family, and too many toys standing in the way. I already have a 912 and a mid-year 911, and my wife (and life in general) says it’s time to downsize a bit.
So here we go. I’ll provide some details. The engine is disassembled and is in boxes in my garage. I can try to get pictures of everything in the next few days. The case is an aluminum case, serial number 96xxxx … I’ll find the other numbers when I pull it out of the box. I have two 66 mm cranks, two sets of S rods, and the 80 mm pistons and cylinders. I assume they are stock 9.8:1 (S compression ratio). I have the S cams, and all the little bits and pieces. I have the red fan shroud. I do not have the IDS Webers or the black air filter housing. I also do not have the 002 distributor. I think those are the only things missing. I’ll have to double-check that. The engine was disassembled when I bought it. I do not know why it was torn down. All the components are in good shape.
The 901/02 transaxle is not from the same car. I bought it from a PCA member who was parting out a 67 S. He said he thought it had only 40,000 miles on it. It is in very good condition.
So here is a rare opportunity to get the entire drivetrain for a 67 S. It is a great start for that dream project … once my own dream. I would prefer to sell this to someone who will put it into an S chassis and needs a numbers matching engine. Those were my intentions, after all.
Like I said, I’ll try to get pictures soon. (Gotta make room to empty the boxes!) I’m glad to show it to anyone interested. I live in Montclair, CA, about 45 minutes east of LA. I’m not looking to make any money on this, so I have thought very deeply about a fair price. Let’s start at $5750. I’ll entertain offers, but I don’t want to give this away. It will not be easy to part with it!
