Vehicle Description
1968 Porsche 912 Coupe VIN 12805335
Three (3)-owner California 912 Coupe. Mostly original paint with
matching numbers finished in Slate Grey with a Black leatherette
interior. The interior is in unbelievable condition with the
original brushed aluminum dash, headliner, door pockets, and seats.
Excellent mechanical condition with a 1600cc engine, smooth
shifting 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc brakes.
Options include a deluxe horn ring, AM/FM Blaupunkt Radio, and
Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. Complete with jack, tools, and
spare tire, and service records from 1984-2018.
The first owner had always wanted to drive and experience the feel
of a 912. He purchased the vehicle new from a local dealer in the
San Francisco Bay area. The 912 stayed with the same family for
over 41 years. The 912 participated in many Porsche Events over the
years in Pleasanton, California. In 2011, the 912 was passed down
from father to son. The son decided in 2010 to get the 912 in great
running and driving condition after sitting for over 16 years in
the garage. In 2016, European Collectibles sold the 912 to the
third owner who has enjoyed the vehicle but now has lost his garage
space and the time has come to part with this exceptional 912.
Truly, a great 912 that runs and drives as it should.
History 912 (1965-1969)
As production of the 356-model concluded in late 1965, Porsche
officially began production of the 912 Coupe. 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 units. In 1968, Porsche made available a
Targa 'Version II' option ('hard window Targa') with fixed glass
rear window, transforming the Targa into a coupe with a removable
roof.
