1967 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe

For anyone who desires a ’60s Porsche with classic 911 style, but would prefer to save quite a bit of money, the 912 offers an alternative. While they’ll never be as popular as the 911, they remain a car of relative simplicity and in comparison with most any modern car the performance differences between the two are not significant. There are even some who would claim the 912 was a better handler than the 911 due to its better balance gained from having less weight over the rear wheels. Either way these cars provide another option for classic motoring and since few but the most pristine examples are prized by collectors, they can generally be driven without worry over any possible depreciation. The car featured here is a 1967 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe, located in California, that has seen a bit shy of 90K miles.

Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS

Karmann operated as a contract manufacturer for Porsche for a number of years and during the ’60s built quite a few 912s along with a variety of 911s. For the most part, it isn’t necessarily a meaningful distinction and Karmann coupes do not tend to hold any higher value than a standard 912. But it perhaps adds an interesting talking point for any owner. The car here looks to be in pretty good shape all things considered, though not spectacular. It appears, as the seller describes, as an excellent driver-caliber vehicle, and frankly were I looking for a 912 that’s the sort of car I’d try to find.
