Porsche 911 Type 930/21 3.2L Flat-Six Engine — 1985 Carrera (M491) Long-Block Candidate
Original Porsche Type 930/21 3.2-liter flat-six removed from a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera (M491 coupe). The engine was pulled when the donor car showed ≈50,000 miles on the odometer. The engine case stamping 64F04724 matches 1985 Carrera production for the Type 930/21 engine. The engine is being offered by a Local Partner after the BaT buyer elected not to keep the unit (auction concluded October 2025).
