German 356 owner looking for engine 63540

[Bob Cannon]

The 356CAR website has received an inquiry from a gentlemen in Germany who is looking for a specific engine for this car. He is not a Registry member; I am posting this as a courtesy in case any Talk Forum members might have a lead. Please contact him directly if you might have a lead. Thanks.

My name is Claus Irsigler. I am writing from Bavaria/Germany.
I am the actual owner of car Porsche 356 vin 82764 and looking for the matching engine case 63540.
You know what. I found it. Mr Paul PJ Zima offered it for sale on 356a.com. Sadly I read he passed away some years ago. Unfortunately all me efforts to contact his family and so on failed.

I just wanted to ask if someone of your club perhaps knew PJ Zima or knows something about engine 63540.

The 356 I am proud to own is my lifetime dream. So I try to get his missing part back home:-)
I would be very very thankful if you perhaps could post my message to some older members. Perhaps they have a contact or so.

Best regards from Mindelheim/Bavaria
