I think sometimes we need to be reminded that old cars are in fact, old. As much as we romanticize them, at the end of the day they are just a bunch of parts pieced together inside a metal shell. We like to think that the older construction is somehow different, and that is the case for some cars, but a lot of times we experience Paris syndrome when it actually comes to driving them. These old cars often feel slow, sloppy, and can be a pain to live with just for basic creature comforts. Hello, Porsche 912.
The 912 has all the exterior looks of the big brother 911 with its long-hood design before the days of impact bumpers and can surely lure us in with its timelessness. However, you are soon reminded that it is powered by a flat-four that pumped out a little over 100 horsepower when it was new. Inside? Well, it has a radio. Maybe the heat works, if you’re lucky.

As much as I want to love every old Porsche, this specific example up for sale in Georgia might be one to really give a second thought to before taking home. The number of issues I’m seeing, not to mention just straight-up oddities like two aftermarket gauges graphed into the dash, is very high. There are a bunch of aftermarket parts going on, tape where there shouldn’t be tape, random hose clamps, and an interior that has seen much better days. I encourage you to look closely at all the photos because I sure found something new each time.
The asking price of $50,000 really seems like a stretch here. I know we just saw a 1967 go for $200,000, but keep in mind the buyer of that car was a funny man who is known for having no budget and an immense collection of impressive Porsches. This is not even on the same planet as the $200,000 car other than being blue. 912 prices are creeping up, but don’t make a bad decision with this one. Remember, it is just an old car.

to me this looks like an old race car, which someone has tried to transition back to the street. The problem is, not enough mods to be a good outlaw car and too many changes for someone looking for a clean 912. Those seats really stand out as wrong..they should have spent the money for euro sports seats reproductions or sourced original seats. those extra gauges on the dash really look wrong too.
Having sold my mostly OEM ’70 911T some five years ago for about this ask, you can imagine my thoughts. Besides the fly blue color, all the out of place bits suggest a 4 banger someone customized. As time passes fewer and fewer people know what OEM Pcar looks like. Sic transit gloria!
Safe your money waste of time its just too wrong and not even a sun roof
