THE PORSCHE 912
Put into production in July 1964, the 911 presaged the end of 356-production. It was July 1965 before the 911 made it to the US, and customers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor. In addition to being more modern and more powerful, it was also more expensive: nearly $2,000 more than the comparable 356 model. In Europe, too, this was a problem. Thus, by April 1965 a "transitional model" entered production. Essentially a 911 with a 356-type flat four, the new car, designated "912," was not only less expensive, selling at near-356 prices, but enjoyed more even weight distribution and better economy. The combination of the four-cylinder engine and the slipperier 911 design was capable of achieving 30 mpg. More than 30,000 were eventually built.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This 912 was the recipient of a comprehensive restoration which was completed in 2015. Finished to specifications matching the COA, the Porsche wears factory correct Bahama Yellow paint. Both the engine and transmission were rebuilt as part of the project as to ensure a dependable drivetrain. The floor pan of the car was also replaced alongside the front trunk floor, and every nut and bolt are reported to have been re-cadium plated. Responsible for the interior appointments, K&H re-did the entirety of the upholstery inside the car. Just 4 owners have had the pleasure of owning this delightful 912, and since the completion of the restoration, the car has been sparingly used and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.
One of the purest Porsche experiences, the 912 is a vehicle that every enthusiast should own at some point. Do not miss this opportunity to purchase a well sorted example.
