I think Mille Miglia is wrecking a 164Q so may have a box available.  No doubt the price would be somewhere similar to this (http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/) figure though.

I enquired about it a few months ago and they wanted $20k for that Q.....

Milano Spares were wrecking a manual Hong Kong import (not a Q) a few months ago.  It was a black car.  Give them a try...

There is a Q for sale on Car Sales for $3k.  

You may negotiate a lower price - is it cheaper getting the whole car ?

The 166 used the 6-speed box manual also used in the 156, that might be just as easy (or no less difficult) to find. There was one on ebay last week but it may have gone. At least you know it would fit, the 164 box might be more of a lottery.
