SimonN Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 A good friend of mine has had a bit of misfortune and written off his 3.2 Carrera only to find a problem with his insurance. Idiot let his policy lapse over the holidays and is now screwed (no more grace days). It was his daily drive and this has left him with no car and an urgent need to raise money. I am helping him part out the car and thought I should let you guys have first shot.The big ticket item is the recently rebuilt engine and box. Not sure what its worth. This needs to be a cash sale. I can vouch for the engine and gearbox, and as it is all front end damage there is no reason why it should not be OK.Please don't flood me with PM's. Let's establish a price range and then it will be who can move fast. I am lending him a car but need it back for the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonN Posted 10January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 OK, so it's a 915 and it has been fully rebuilt and strengthened.I am not sure what we are doing with the other bits yet, because the engine and box are the big ticket items. Anybody got a value? Does it equal a Camry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Sorry to hear for your mate. i guess he learnt his lesson though. i clicked on this hoping it was a 968 with the 6 speed box as it said 3L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonN Posted 10January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Sorry, guys, I stuffed up. It' a 3.2 out of an 1985 ROW car. Michel, you are getting a bit confused. The engine with PMO's is something completely different and will never be offered on the open market. Anyway, I have first refusal . This is a totally stock engine which was fully stripped and rebuilt. I will get the invoice and check exactly what has been replaced, but in short, if it out of spec, it was changed. It i like new, as is all the ancillaries and brightwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it be bought holus bolus, oil tank etc. I have a plan.As before when you can provide full details on the build, I'll get even more excited and throw a number at you.btw - is your mate ok??cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privatepang Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Im interested in the 915 box. Please let me know when he has a price for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Im interested in the 915 box. Please let me know when he has a price for it. I have a couple of 915 boxes @ $3500 so if this has the work described above I would value it closer to $5K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symsy Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 What gears, what components , what kinda mileages /HP and use.. Also the same for the engine, why dont you post a copy of the build/repair bills so we can get a decent view of what we are talking about here. Half the Info = Half the price remember.. Your buddy would do himself a whole host of favors if it were clear whats is for sale Simon.You should give him that feedback, probably an emotional time for him unfortunately but adesperate attempt or measures only get desparate dollars in my experience… I presume he said no to the Camry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boys Own Garage Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Simon, I'll happy help out by buying the Electronic Speedometer out of it - I need it as a core for having it re-faced to represent the correct green gauges in my SWB. Email me ajpickering@mac.com or call/SMS on 0458270681 to work it all out. Thanks,Zander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonN Posted 11January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 11January, 2017 Sorry for the delay. Just spent a day at the Sydney tennis in 42 degrees and promised my wife i wouldn't sit there online!Please forget the title nof the thread, because I stuffed up. This is far less complicated than some seem to be making out. What we have here is a standard 3.2l engine and a 915 gearbox out of a 1985 ROW car. Both engine and gearbox were rebuilt 3760 kms ago. The engine is totally standard with original casing, crank and heads but everything else replaced. So it has new pistons, rods, cylinders, bearings seals etc and reconditioned heads with new valves and valve gear. Cams are standard. All the brightwork was either replaced or refinished. It has standard intake and exhaust manifolds. The injectors were reconditioned. I don't know what else to say. It's like new and original.The gearbox is a 915 with the oil coooler. It was also rebuilt with anything out of spec replaced. All new seals, new second gear set and dog teeth, 1st gear synchro and dog teeth, 1st and 2nd gear slider and pinion roller bearings. The diff is a factory lsd but was not rebuilt (no need). My friend is digging out the invoice but we think the engine and box cost just over $32,000 to rebuild. We need to check the invoice because he had other work done at the same time.I hope that clears everything up.Can i now go to dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
