On Ebay now if anyone has a Chrysler LeBaron and fancies a go. Number 322061350498
Seller states
Update: Is in fact a 7th Generation Free Rotor Motor. 76-77 vintage. Only SEVEN of these motors were built. 3 of them went into test vehicles, and the remaining 4 were for Chrysler's R&D. This would be 1 of the 4 test engines. All internals appear to be there. The rotating regenerator, the compressor & power turbines. This is a rotating assembly. The regenerator wheel turns, as does the shaft it's meshed with, along with the compressor/oil pump shaft, and the power turbines that rotate the accessory drive pulley and the output shaft (trans). Everything turns in sync. It's difficult to find pictures of this engine complete, but from what I see, there's a box type unit missing from the front. That may be the starter unit, not sure. That and a couple units attached to the outside of the motor are not there. This could be for display, or monies invested into making this run again. Also, the transmission is just a hollowed out torque flight used for display purposes.
