Vehicle Description
1968 Porsche 912 Coupe
ALL ORIGINAL EXAMPLE WITH LOW MILES
Four (4) owners with history and service invoices documenting
miles, and Porsche maintenance book showing original delivery.
Maintenance book shows the first owner took delivered in Denver,
Colorado on June 10, 1968. The second owner, a California resident,
purchased the vehicle on October 7, 1968. In 1971, the third owner
purchased this 912 also a So-Cal resident. In this 43 year span,
the third owner kept extensive records dating back to 1971. In 1983
the engine went through a rebuild which was completed by
Automation. Highlights from the engine rebuild include: NPR 1720
Big Bore Kit, Solex Carburetors (rebuilt by 356 Carb Rescue) and
022 Distributor
This 1968 912 Coupe is ALL original including mostly original paint
and interior finished in Tangerine/Black. The paint quality is
exceptional. The interior is all original as well including dash,
carpets, headliner, seats and one year only '68 door panels that
are in perfect condition. Equipped with 5 gauge dash, 5-speed
manual 901 transmission, and original steering wheel. Mechanically,
it is an excellent driving 912 with documented low miles. Truly one
of the BEST 912's that we have ever offered!
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.
