We are searching about informations about engine P-90028 which is in our possesion. I have some infos about that engine sitting in several cars including a works car, but need to find out if this information is reliable.
Thanks.

Hello,

I can help but this is a difficult one. Please do let me know which chassis number you think had the motor and I can/will tell you what I know.

Hi.

Please tell me your name.

Anyway, I cannot understand quite what you mean by number 7 or 14. Which car?

I also think it was an early spare but went into a spare chassis 12xxx.

Hi Thomas,

I am certain that 90028 never went into 550-07. 550-07 is a very long story and while one can never be "certain" of much of anything related to Porsche, I think youwill like the 550-07 story in the upcoming book.

Now, if you are also thinking of 550-14.....I do not think so because 550-14 left the "scene" before 90028 was built.

Best,

Steve

Thomas,

550-07 was destroyed as was 550-14. I know the motors that went into them before they were destroyed. And, before 550-07 was destroyed, it had a replacement frame. None of it except a few misc. parts exist today (and most of those on on a spare chassis carrera Speedster builtby Blendl and now in Germany. 550-14 was also destroyed before any need for 90028.

I'm convinced (at the moment at least) that it was 12xxx that got 90028 first.

Best,

Steve

Steve-
I hope it wasn't 12009, if so I need to get ahold of the Aussi Bloke I sold it to and get it back!!!!

12009 was one of the few spares with almost no info. It was sold without a motor. It did go through P production and finished 30 November 1953.

Adam, this was probably the most important Porsche ever built. How could you possibly have sold it?

Best,

Steve

Sez the man who sold Speedster 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. You sir are living in a glass house!

12009 was a fun one, it was saved from becoming a desk, I bought it, got it rolling, an Aussi dude bought it, sent it to Bruce Baker's for the full outlaw, I think it is back in Oz now, but not finished.

Bruce might be able to share some better pics.

Mr.Heinrichs:

"this was probably the most important Porsche ever built."

(Well, that got my attention.)

Why?

Just a little joke to razz Adam.

But, there is a little humor here and none, well, you know.

Ciao,

Steve

Steve-
Don't worry, if I get something I sell it. Jim at EASY taught me his mantra for selling parts and making a living. It is,
"I am not running a fucking museum, I am selling Porsche Parts, if I have a part and you want to buy it, I will sell it."

Only on rare occasions does something make it into my private collection, because if I kept everything cool, I would be a cool broke dude.

Adam/All,

Just to be clear---and serious---I do not beleive that there was anything special re 12209 (except, of course, that Adam once owned it).

We'll see if Thomas has some more info that will help. It is interesting trying to sort out these kinds of things.

Steve, I was wondering why you were calling it a replacement chassis, the car I had was 12009, not 12209.

Steve Heinrichs · Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:28 am Post subject:

Sorry.

My bad.

12009 was not a replacement. Finished 8 Dec 1952.

Motor 30963 trans 389 H 1.

My apologies.

Thomas...Steve and Adam were just joking (having fun) about the 1952 356 coupe being something very special and rare. Of course, a nice model 356 to have, but it was never installed with a 4-cam motor.

Your inquiry about the Spyder 4-cam motor is interesting though...and you are fortunate to have Steve reply to you about it.
