This gave buyers the familiar balance and handling characteristics of the 911 while offering a more affordable entry into the Porsche lineup. The 1966 model year is particularly notable as part of the early short-wheelbase generation, produced before the 912 transitioned to the longer-wheelbase chassis for 1969.Combining early Porsche design, classic Polo Red paintwork, and the engaging experience of a 5-speed manual transmission, this painted dash 912 Coupe is an appealing example of Porsche's early air-cooled lineup and is mechanically sound.
