Vehicle Description
As production ceased on the 356 model in 1965 and the introduction
of the much more powerful and expensive 911 replacement, Porsche
and its advertisers were worried that the price jump would be too
much for consumers to handle so the introduction of the 912 was
born. It used the same styling, body and structure of the 911
except it was lighter and more nimble. It outsold the 911 for a
couple years until mindsets caught up with the technology and price
of the 911. It was produced initially from 1965 through 1969 until
the 914 was debuted as Porsches entry level model. It was later
brought back for a one-year only after the 914 was discontinued in
1976. The 912's are becoming harder and harder to find in stock
original condition because they were the cheaper cars and people
were not afraid to cut them up and turn them in to race and rally
cars. This particular highly original car except for a passenger
side re-spray more than 35 years ago is a excellent example that we
are pleased to present. This 912 is a rare early example that has
its original owners manuals, keys and books. It is believed to be a
three owner car with the last owner having the car in his
possession for more that 34 years. Receipts dating back to the
1980's accompany the car as well as the COA showing color code 6602
(ruby red) with black leatherette which it still retains. In fact,
the entire interior is original. The COA also shows production date
of 10/6/65. Title lists this car as a 1965 but was more than likely
a 1966 "Model" year. Engine number and Transmission number are not
confirmed on the COA but date coded correct for a 912. The optional
equipment is a Webasto Heater and Blaupunkt Radio. This car is in
excellent running and driving condition with everything in working
order. Furthermore this car does not leak or smoke oil and we would
be willing to drive this car anywhere.
