Stoddard Engine Tag Year Verification.

#1 Post by Ibrahim Kuzu »

Anyone can point out which year this Stoddard Engine Rebuild tag was installed.
Second owner for 51 Years said "Tag was there when he purchased the Cabriolet from Original owner in 1972 "
Engine has NOS brand new No number case.
Thank you

Ibrahim, Stoddard built me a motor in 1980 for my B Coupe. Shipped it to the local Porsche dealer who installed it. Different times and I was a new-b to 356s. .......Jim.

1957 (when they are reported to have started) or later, but have you asked Stoddard?

Conversion to all number phone numbers was around late 60's, so probably pre 1969.

Thank you guys..
Going to Call Stoddard see any one there can pinpoint.
But as mentioned by Alan, must be before 1969
It is a 1964 C Cabriolet
Early times Engine case damaged ,Stoddard transferred all to NOS Engine case .

Did talk to Bruce in Stoddard. No Information that old we can get...
Here is the Kardex
Anyone can tell if the expense on 7/31/64 for $219 plus $65 could be related to new NOS engine case?
And
Brad,
In your experience 0903 serial number is it Engine number of 903 th engine build since 1957 ??? or a customer number?

And for fun check this Dash Goodies all done in 1960s by original owner.

Original owner was Alan E Henderson, 129 Indianola Road, Youngstown, OH -- wonder if he is still around. Call at that address and maybe ......

Ibrahim,

Those horns were an option on the T6 cars. However mounting location on these seems to suggest dealer/owner installation
