Jack, beautiful 912. I love the old single stage non metallic colors, and slate grey is one of the best.

I've been lurking too for a while. Here's a pic of my 68 912. Mostly original, except for the wheels and the nardi steering wheel. I do have the chrome original wheels too.
Cheers,

Good to see another 912 come out of hiding:) Looks like a nice one.

'68 912
Nice car Jake!
Is the color red or tangerine? Either way, it's a beautiful car
Maybe the 912s should get a special section of the web site to discuss issues specific to that car.
Well, this is technically the 911 "S" registry and we talk about other 911's besides the S all the time......and the 912 is basically a 911 with a few differences....Quote:

912bbs.org - best 912 site in the world. A special 912 section would not do well - see the 912 Pelican section.Quote:

Thanks, The plate says polo red. It's been resprayed at some point in its life. The color is very close to the original paint visible on the inner rear fender valance. It looks a lot like orange in bright sunlight, but will look redder in less sunlight.Quote:

I'm glad to see these bulletin boards take all porsche comers. I say any porsche is a porsche worth talking about :)
Thanks to all for the comments.

This is my first 911 'hot rod' I built it in 1990 sold it in 1994. Started as a rust free 73.5 T. I rebuilt a Euro 3.2 and 915 with a limited slip, did the whole suspension thing, alloy S brakes, torsion bars, drilled rotors etc, etc. bare body paint, front oil cooler, trick @ the time seats etc. I saw the car around 1'st couple of years then gone for 12 years. Friday I see the guy I sold it to and he still had the car. It has been garaged and he had not driven it in YEARS, and he wanted it gone "more so his wife wanted it gone". I ask what he wanted for it we make a deal based on inspection. Car is now in my shop again The kicker is after I built the car I drove it for pleasure and DE events put on aprox 5K miles. Before I sold it I replaced the broken odometer with a new 'zero' miles. It now reads 1,335! It is not to far from the condition I sold it in, one or two dings and a few dog claw scratches. I have absolutely no use for it but hey you only have one first one.
