66 Weber 40 IDA 3C / 3C1 Restored by Performance Oriented

[Graydingo]

1966 Weber 40 IDA 3c/3c1 Carburetors with 1969 Porsche Manifolds

Serial #'s 2306, 1775

Immaculately restored by Paul Abbott of Performance Oriented in 2014 and sitting on a shelf here in Las Vegas since then. Paul is not taking on new work unfortunately. While there are companies out there that restore Webers, I think Paul is the best. Never mounted and obviously no fuel inside, clean as a whistle. These are hands down the nicest Webers I have ever seen.

Also includes a very good early air cleaner that the snout was modified to be shorter for better air intake. The air cleaner is not concourse but driver quality.

36mm diameter holes at bottom of manifolds

Show / Concourse quality. Every detail, nut and bolt looks period correct. Because of the restoration was done 11 years ago, I would replace the accel pump rubbers and the fuel line as it feels a little hard at this point if you actually plan to run these. Because these vintage Webers are fuel free, they would also make an excellent art piece.

Also includes restored cross bar and 3 linkage pieces. "Eurometrix" is stamped on the base of each carb. I think they might have restored them prior to Performance Oriented at some point. They do not have the "S" stamped on the ends FYI.

$3,612 was spent on the restoration in 2014 and I have the receipt from Performance Oriented. Available for inspection in West Las Vegas. I bought these with the intent of running them on my 914/6 conversion, but they are way too nice and belong on an early SWB in my opinion. Or, like I said, just to be admired as an office or study centerpiece. Full array of pics available for serious inquiries.

New main jets 125, new throttle shafts (perfect) Nickel air horns
30 chokes (main venturi) F26 e tubes
Normal 2.0 911 spec according to PO invoice.

Asking 10k OBO

Thanks for looking

I have a set of these carbs, identical, and done by Paul in 2018. They are not for sale and I wouldn't part with them for 20k. His work is incredible. Mine go into the 1967 911 hotrod in this winter.

Thanks for that JackMan!

Here are pics of the cross bar and two linkage bits for each carb. Perfectly restored.

As mentioned, the included air cleaner is in pretty good shape. Might need a bit of work to make it concourse. Not sure if it is the correct one. I do recall a workshop manual pic showing the shortened snout to increase airflow.

My webers came back from Paul about two months ago.

I finally realize how my wife feels when she goes into a jewelry store!
