Vehicle Description
This 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe was completed at the factory on October
19, 1967 and then shipped to California where it was sold by VW
Pacific in Culver City, CA to a resident of San Bernardino. The car
has been in CA its entire life and was purchased in 1997 by a
resident of Rancho Cucamonga who refurbished the car during the
first few years of ownership. The work began by stripping the body
to bare metal and being painted Ivory. During reassembly, all
exterior brightwork was either replaced, re-plated or polished when
needed. The interior was freshened during this time period and the
engine was rebuilt as well. Twenty one years later (2018) the
rebuilt engine had accrued 9,000 new miles and it was time for a
tune-up that included the installation of Weber carburetors, a new
push rod (cylinder #2), spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, an oil
change, valve adjustment, new points, spark plugs and wires,
distributor rotor, fuel filter and an electric fuel pump.
This 912 runs and drives well, retains its original "matching
numbers" engine and transmission and the cosmetics are very
presentable. Thanks to a life in Southern California, the floors
are original and in excellent condition.
