Introduced
alongside the original 911 as Porsche’s entry-level sports car, the 912 shared
the same platform as the 911 and came equipped with a lightweight and
easy-to-maintain 1,600cc flat-four engine. This 1968 example has been
registered to its current owner since 2002 and has been driven sparingly during
summers, stored away in the winter, and routinely serviced every spring. It
underwent an engine rebuild in California prior to the owner’s purchase which
included a big bore upgrade kit for increased engine displacement and power.
Having undergone a recent tune-up, this classic 912 is now being offered with
its original owner’s manual, toolkit, and California license plates.
This
short-wheelbase 912 is finished in white with chrome trim on the body moldings,
bumpers, window surrounds, horn grilles, and headlight rings. Other details
include a fender-mounted antenna, dual polished mirrors, chrome door handles,
pop-out rear quarter windows, and 15” slotted steel wheels with chrome
Porsche-crested hubcaps. The car rides on Nexen SB-802 tires size 165/80. The
car was previously refinished in the current white paint color and the paint
code label in the driver’s door jamb shows the original color to have been
Tangerine (6809). Remnants of the original paint can be seen, and some small
chips are noted on the middle of the hood and the edge of the rear decklid. It
does have rust on the passenger side floors as you can see in the pictures.
The cabin
features black leatherette upholstery with matching carpets and basketweave
pattern inserts on the seat centers and door panels. Accessories include
brushed aluminum dashboard trim, a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, a
carpet dashboard cover, lap belts, analog VDO gauges, and an aftermarket Jensen
radio. The clock is inoperable and the radio is not connected to the speakers.
Some holes are present in the headliner as well as a small tear at the top of
the passenger’s seat, a missing knob on the driver’s window crank, a crack in
the dashboard, and some wear on the driver’s side armrest.
Power comes
from an air-cooled 1,600cc flat-four engine which was rebuilt and upgraded with
a big bore cylinder kit prior to the current owner’s purchase in 2002. The rear
wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transaxle. Less than 10k miles have
been driven since the engine was rebuilt and annual oil changes have been
observed by the current owner. A tune-up was recently performed, and the
generator light occasionally appears when the car is idling.
This sale
will include the original black California license plates, owner’s manual,
toolkit, spare tire, and a collection of service documents.
