early 911 starter engine (motor)

So the nose piece is actually a separate part? Used as an adaptor to use a starter with a non supported bendix (like a 356) in a transmission without a bendix support (like a 356)? Very interesting.

Exactly Jim! But, I think the other versions, like the backwards turning one, have an integrated, i.e. can't remove it. So it could have a completely self-supporting Bendix,. Thanks.

Here are pictures of the starter I have, as I mentioned this came to us with 901 transmission #100114.

Those early starter motors required a longer mounting stud on the transmission case.
The Parts Catalog lists two lengths of mounting stud, 10x30 and 10x22, the numbers 30 and 22 being their exposed lengths in mm, not their overall lengths.

I knew I set it aside for a reason
What sort of value would you place on it?
Speaking of the transmission, are we way off base with the price? Have nothing to compare to other then the $29,500 one on Ebay Everyone who wants it just says, "oh its just a core worth like $1500". Some how I just can't believe that.
THANKS!

Everybody is pretty much right, you're asking 10x the going rate for that box. The only difference between your transmission and another 901/0 box is the serial number. I understand it's early but unless some rube has the chassis that matches it will still be incorrect. Is it rare? Yes. Is it worth 10x what an identical gearbox manufactured a few months later is worth? Not so much.

So the difference between a 64,65 and a 66 911 is just a serial number, but yet a 64 is worth $500K+, a 65 911 is worth $250K while a 66 will bring a fraction of that, so what is your point exactly?

There are actually quite a few unique factors to that gearbox and if you are putting together a $500K car then spending $15K on a correct original transmission for the car is pretty reasonable. It's called supply and demand, look it up.

Edit: Sorry for de-railing this thread, if you wish to comment further on the transmission do so on the for sale thread. Thanks.

Yep, supply and demand, your problem is demand. There's either 1 or zero people on the planet who might pay your ask for that transaxle. That one person is the owner of the matching chassis, assuming it still exists and they aren't offended at the prospect of paying way more than the box is worth to make their car matching.

Good luck with the sale.

I am w/ Andy on this one.

If your 64 had been earlier it would have unique (casting / function) details and such a box could have raised $15K.

Your starter is much rarer than an early numbered box and may be you should throw it in the deal in order to sell the box for $15K.

BTW what I personally like on a 64 and early 65 vs later cars is the flat panel, 6 piece dash and tall grill.

Just my $.02

Ok sounds like a deal, buy the transmission and you get the starter for free.

I am all set but in all seriousness do I think that the combination is more interesting. May be you should edit your FS add for the transmission.

Good luck w/ the sale.

Yep, the internet is like a brick wall. It is possible to write your opinion on it for sure. Easy to get carried away though

Some feel I need to buy a box or maybe car or what was the point?? Where was I ........oh yes, I was looking for a starter. Txs.
