For a brief period, the Porsche 912 enjoyed quite a bit of success. Released in 1965 and serving as Porsche’s entry-level model the 912 was essentially a 911 with a more basic drivetrain. With its inherently better balance relative to its more advanced sibling, the 912 sold very well upon initially being made available before Porsche decided it would be discontinued so as to make way for the mid-engined 914. Other than a brief reappearance in 1976, the 912 only enjoyed a 5 year model run from 1965 to 1969 and, like many entry-level vehicles nearly 50 years later, they remain relatively rare, especially with low mileage. The car featured here, a 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe, located in Florida, is enshrouded in questions, but with only 12,000 miles and on offer for no reserve it could end up as quite an interesting buy.

Divorce took the garage so this baby had to go. Not yet concours level but very near it. Numbers matching, engine recently freshen up by Bobby Varella of Foreign Affairs. New konis, new Vredestein skinnies, Webers. Interior all original. Little ding on passenger door and some ill fitting rubbers.. Rest is very nice
The seller hasn’t done himself any favors here with few pics and not much description so interested buyers will have some legwork to do. The seller claims the car is in original condition and from what we can see that appears to hold true. The exterior looks in pretty good condition. The interior condition remains somewhat of a mystery, but also appears original. If you happen to live relatively close to this car’s present location, then this may certainly be a 912 worth investigating further. If the mileage and mechanicals check out it may even come at quite a bargain.
