[UrelferDK]

can anyone give me an estimate on today's value of a complete 1973 RS (911/83) engine? all parts incl pump are there, but needs total rebuild. thanks!

I'll start the estimation at $50,000...if it matches the original chassis, $75,000...

May we ask the engine #?

$50K for a 911/83 needing a total rebuild?!
Seems like I've been out of the market too long

Shortly after I bought my car 7+ years ago I was offered $45,000 for it's RS engine. It's # 6630993.

Are you saying if a person owns the original chassis you will charge them $25k more?

[Pirulero]

Do you mean 50k$ for a good condition engine or an engine needing a total rebuild??

if an Rs engine 663--- value is 50k$.....what's the value of a 2.7Carrera 664--- (Euro) value??

Very valuable to the owner of the matching car, less so for average joe.

My recommendation would be for you to contact Porsche Classic and ask them to cross reference the engine number with the VIN so you can identify the original car. Once you have the chassis VIN then you may have better chance of finding the current owner.

Good luck.
