Vehicle Description
1968 Porsche 912 Coupe
In 1968 Porsche updated the 912 with a unique interior featuring
black and white gauges, a padded dash, and doors with integrated
door pockets and armrests. This gave the 912 the same interior that
the 911 enjoyed. Other 68 only features included side reflectors
and for the first time, an exhaust emissions system that required
an external belt driven pump.
Finished in Light Yellow with a cork leatherette interior. Very dry
912 with no major rust, excellent core 912 to drive as is or
restore in the future. It is a turnkey driver, needing some TLC,
which is extremely hard to find in this price range.
These 912's are the value play in the vintage Porsche market. They
have the character of a late 356 and far more fun to drive on a
curvy road than an early 911. If you have been looking for
inexpensive 912 this is your opportunity!
History 912 (1965-1969)
As production of the 356 model concluded in late 1965, Porsche
officially began production of the 912 coup�. Styling, performance,
quality construction, reliability, and price made the 912 a very
attractive buy to both new and old customers, and it substantially
outsold the 911 during the first few years of production. Porsche
produced nearly 30,000 912 coup� units and about 2,500 912 Targa
body style units (Porsche's patented variation of a cabriolet)
during a five-year manufacturing run. In January 1968, Porsche made
available a Targa 'Version II' option ('hard window Targa') with
fixed glass rear window, transforming the Targa into a coup� with a
removable roof.
