History

The original run of the 912, built between 1966 and 1969 and was briefly revived in 1976. The 1968 example exhibits the one year only unique door panels. The 912 engine was a 1,582cc pushrod flat-four from the 356C, which produced 102hp in 1968, nearly 80 fewer than the same year's 911S. A side benefit of owning a 912 involves weight, about 250 pounds less than a corresponding 911, virtually all of it at the car's extreme rear.
