1976 Porsche 912E

An enduring myth in the car world is the old lady. You know, the car whose current owner – and ideally this is long-term ownership – is an older woman who has only used the car sparingly for shopping trips and other weekly tasks. These cars will be low mileage and have been very well maintained. Many times they are also well documented. The car will have seen almost no inclement weather during her ownership. To be clear, this is not myth in the since that such cars don’t exist – they most certainly do – and seeking them out can lead to some truly good bargains and fantastic cars. Why bring this up here? Because it’s exactly the case we have with this 1976 Porsche 912E located in Oregon. All of the basic typologies are present: 33 years of ownership, driven lightly on the weekends, excellent cosmetic condition, a huge stack of receipts. Perhaps even better? It’s a no reserve auction and bidding remains quite reasonable.

As inexpensive Porsches go this 912 fits the bill quite well and falls squarely into that space where we typically seek a 912 in the first place. As I mentioned in a previous 912 post, it’s becoming difficult to find the long-hood examples for this sort of reasonable price. Some of that is down to overly optimistic sellers, but much of it simply comes down to the increasing value of those early cars. This one though currently has only been bid to $18,100. There’s a couple days remaining so that may come up, but I’d be surprised if we see a dramatic rise in the price. As for the car itself, most everything appears to be in good order. The most obvious thing that stands out to me is the suspension. The ride height looks quite high, certainly higher than other examples I’ve seen. Perhaps that’s just from the slope of the road where it’s been parked; perhaps at some point the suspension was replaced with something much softer. It’s something to ask questions about, but probably not something of too much concern (though it could shed some light on maintenance and upkeep). Otherwise, the paint looks good and the interior looks in nice shape. It’s an attractive color combination as well. In the pantheon of Porsche collectibles there probably won’t ever be much space for the 912E, but for those hoping to own and drive a classic Porsche, especially one with the classic 911 design, the 912E makes for an excellent option and one like this could be an outstanding value.
