Price: US $10,200.00
This is a beautiful, original, matching numbers, California
car, in wonderful condition. 5 speed/5 gauge. 89K documented miles. Huge binder
of records through the years. Very straight body, with original floor pans, lowered suspension, and polished Fuchs. Period correct Recaros. Interior floor
has been stripped to bare metal, and sealed with 3 coats of POR-15, lined with
Dynamat, and finished off with new carpet (approx. 2 years ago). The Solex carbs
were rebuilt by Vorderman Motor Works of Fort Wayne, IN. The valves were
adjusted, and new throttle linkage was installed at that point, as well. Recent
plugs, and oil just changed in June, 2015, as well. Complete recent tune up, with all new Bosch parts. New Continental tires, and new premium battery. Runs and drives fabulously. Resprayed approx. 15
years ago, but still looks and shines very nice. I’ve owned half a dozen 912s, and this one blows them, and any other I’ve driven, out of the water.
Areas of consideration:
*One bubbled area inside driver’s door jam (see pics). This
is the ONLY known area of corrosion.
*Few small paint flaws that could be addressed: driver’s
rear fender, star on hood, and decklid spots.
*Small dash cracks
*May need new Bowden tube, for ease in and out of first
gear, on occasion.
*Generator light has started to occasionally come on.
*Star on windshield. Out of line of sight, and has never
grown or expanded.
*It's been determined, (much to my surprise, after years of ownership), that this car was apparently, originally Ossi blue, paint code #6803. Polo Red is code #6802, so this is why I didn't notice. I've also never detected a hint of blue! Obviously a very good and thorough paint job was applied.
As stated, while this car is not perfect, it's as nice a 912 as I've encountered. It simply runs and drives flawlessly, and almost as you'd have expected in 1968. Only 88, 000 pampered and loved miles, over 47 years, with much of it's history documented.
I encourage all potential buyers to come inspect the car in person prior
to buying or bidding. Your bid is a binding contract. Feel free to call me with any questions or for more information. Car condition is subjective. I have owned over 100 Porsches, and am picky about my cars, but potential owners should decide for themselves if this car is for them. Car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS. Transportation is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer. International bidders are welcome, but please have U.S. funds and transportation arranged prior to auctions end. Zero or negative feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding or your bid may be cancelled. Please only bid or offer if you are serious. Finally, feel free to email or call me at 574-361-5315 with any questions, more details, or if you'd like to make an offer. Good luck!
