1966 Porsche 912

A few months ago I took a look an early Porsche 912 that while the price was right, had a bunch of issues known and maybe more than weren’t yet found. As luck would have it, another 912 popped up, this time an even earlier car, that has a little high price tag but perhaps is a much better starting point. Dare I say that this is even a turn-key example? I maybe won’t go that far since it is a 1966 after all, but heavy lifting is not required on this one.

Thank You

Here we go. A relatively clean shell and a virtually spotless interior as well. One thing to note is that this looks like a later year 1966, as the 1965 and early 1966 model years had the 356 gauges as opposed to the five gauges like this car has. The big thing on this one is that the engine was rebuilt to 1,720cc specs with a Solex carbs. Also neat is the five-speed manual that features a dogleg first gear. Plenty of photos, plenty of information. What isn’t to like?

The price on this one is an even $45,000, which I think is right on the button. Because of the pricey engine work, I’d be surprised if the owner isn’t a little bit underwater on this considering the owner said he bought this two years ago. Given where the short hood prices are going, even on 912s, I don’t see a downside on this one.
