When PCNA moved to Reno in 1984, they also split off their parts distribution from Volkswagen. I was a parts guy at the local Wichita Falls TX VW/Porsche/Audi/Mazda dealership.

To clear out the remaining stock, VW sent all dealers a flyer listing all remaining Porsche parts in their inventory, with discount prices. I went through it to see if anything interesting was on it. One of these jumped out at me:

Complete 4-cam Carrera engine with all accessories, sitting on a palette. And it was going for a stoopit [i]low price. I don't remember what it was exactly, but the number of around $4000 sticks in my head (but it may have been less.)

I remember pleading with the dealer principle, trying to impress upon him the significance of that engine, that he'd easily double his money if he'd buy it and sit on it for a short while. But he had no interest. And, being a engineering student there was no way I could swing it.

I've often wondered what happened to that engine. Someone got a smoking deal.
