Hi.
I just received the factory Kardex for my '68 912 coupe yesterday. My car is an ex-California (and apparently ex-N.J. too. I didn't know that. Thank you Kardex) car, but it had lost its engine by the time I bought the car here in Stockholm.
So I ordered the Kardex to determine the engine number i was looking for. "Motor-Nr. 128 4561". I Googled it, and i got a hit! Still get goosebumps when i think of it.
It turns out "my" engine was for sale in the july/august 2002 registry magazine.
https://porsche356registry.org/system/m ... 1396814874
It was advertised as a core by Roland 'Rolly' Resos, Newport Beach, CA. I have had contact with Roland but unfortunately he doesn't remember where that particular engine ended up. He was sorry he couldn't be of more help but suggested I could ask here.
So, does anyone here remember buying a 912 engine in Newport Beach in 2002? Any leads are appreciated.
Moderators, If this should be in a different forum section, I apologise.
Best regards,
Marcus
Anybody here buy an engine off Roland "Rolly" Resos in 2002?

Jim, Trevor,
Many thanks for your help. I'll check with those shops. I'll sign up for the 912 forum as well and see what comes up. The search continues.
