We are not a parts-house and do not ordinarily sell parts separately from our work. However, we do have some parts available, and we also sell complete engines and sometimes automobiles.
Note that this data is sometimes a little stale: Contact us for current information - we're engine builders, not web-site developers! And, be sure to check out Our Terms and Conditions.
NOTE, WE ARE DOING HEAVY WORK ON THIS WEB SITE RIGHT NOW!
There's a lot of information and images below. You can scroll down, or use these links.

Engines
This list is sorted by Serial Number or, for un-numbered cases, aproximate production date. Click on the page links in the bullet items to jump to pages unique to each engine.
The story of each engine and lots of photographs are found on the web pages linked for each individual engine.
Pre-announced engines: Sometimes good timing permits a customer to get exactly what they want, so preannouncing gives that opportunity. All engines in this section are incomplete but are under-construction as of the latest update to this page. The web pages are likely even more incomplete! It takes TIME to build a competent web page, too!

Be Sure To See Some Engines of Our Past - It has only been in recent times that we have thought to create web pages for each engine, and most of the time we only do so for engines we build "on speculation" - that is, to sell outright right here on this page. It is now our practice to move items from here to the "Some Engines Of Our Past" page as an archive. Notably, these provide you with information about the work we do, how we do it, and also we have gotten many thank-yous for publishing examples for how this work is done correctly.
Parts
We have the following parts for sale:
- Transaxle nose cone, part 741.301.301.02. The piece is New Old Stock, never mounted on a transaxle. It's in great condition - a little dirt maybe, but no disappointments. (Seen in image at right.)
- Solex carburetor parts - nomenclature used here: 32 and 40 mean the 32mm and 40mm single barrel carburetors, respectively, and 40PII indicates the later dual-throated unit.
- emulsion tube carrier (30 & 40)
- accelerator pump control arm spring (all)
- accelerator pump diaphram spring (all)
- throttle shaft nuts (all)
- throttle shaft spacers (all)

We are interested in a LOT of items.
Our primary areas of interest are the Porsche 356 and the '50's era Karmann Ghia, and coachbuilts like Rometsch and Denzel.
Here we're only putting out specific needs for specific projects. However, we are always looking for: early 356 parts, anything Denzel, Rometch, Okrasa, various literature and accessory items. If you have something on offer, let us know!
