1967 Porsche 912

Published August 7, 2014 by Rob

We’re always on the look out for interesting and/or rare cars here at GCFSB and this excellent looking Bahama Yellow 1967 Porsche 912 with Caramel interior certainly ticks the first box. The seller hasn’t listed the mileage, but it appears to be just under 80K (assuming the odometer hasn’t rolled over) and in its past has had a rebuilt big bore engine. Other additions include a set of Fuchs and wood steering wheel from the 911S parts bin along with rally lighting and grille-mounted fog lights. The vast majority of 912s we come across, even those in great condition, reflect their entry-level roots and remain simple cars. This one here though has been turned up a notch and really appears to be an excellent example of what, for a short time, was an alternative to the 911.

1969 Porsche 912 Targa

Published July 19, 2014 by Rob

Typically when we feature a 912 it’s because we hope to highlight its relative value compared to a similar vintage 911. These are, after all, basically a 911 design but with a flat-4 engine rather than the 911’s flat-6 and tend to come far cheaper. Well, what about the other end of the 912 spectrum: the pristine, collector-quality, 912? Like the 911, a really nice 912 can command a fairly high price, though still far short of a 911 of comparable quality. The example featured here is a Polo Red 1969 Porsche 912 Targa, located in Connecticut, with black interior. 1969 was the last year for the 912 (not counting it’s brief reappearance in 1976 as the 912E) and, like the 911, it featured a slightly longer wheelbase than in previous years. We don’t come across very many Targas from these years (whether 911 or 912) so it’s always nice to see where the design began. This particular car is the hard-window Targa and appears to be very low-mileage, though just how low is a little uncertain.

1968 Porsche 912 Coupe

Published June 22, 2014 by Rob

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.

Heap of the Week: 1967 Porsche 912

Published June 10, 2014 by Rob

I mentioned a few weeks back how the Porsche 912 could serve as a worthwhile substitute for those entertaining the idea of finding a pre-1974 Porsche 911T and were perhaps less concerned with collector values. The two models share many similarities, but the 912 typically comes at a fraction of the cost. The car featured doesn’t make for the best comparison with a well-kept 911T, but it could make for an interesting alternative for any buyer who doesn’t mind taking on a bit of a project. Here we have an unrestored 1967 Porsche 912 looking for an owner who doesn’t mind putting in some work. The exterior appears to be Champagne Yellow, a very nice and period correct color.

Motorsport Monday: 1968 Porsche 912 Rally

Published April 14, 2014 by Carter

There are few things to me that are quite as cool as the factory rally cars. For a long period of time – indeed, until the mid 1980s, works rally cars really differed very little from the production cars. Compared to their track-racing equivalents, there was something more realistic about rally cars compared to the quite extreme measures manufacturers went through to make circuit cars. Perhaps part of that nature was because the big money wasn’t really in the rally scene until much more recently, but whatever the cause you got plenty of action from cars that you could conceivably buy, modify and race. While in many ways a bit of an unlikely candidate, Porsche actually managed to front several cars up through and into the 1980s in World Rally Championship events, but many more were entered by privateers. Such is the case with today’s rally find, a 1968 Porsche 912:
