Wtb porsche 912

**advtracing** · 10-24-2009, 04:51 PM

I am in the market for a good , rust free , accident free early 912 ( not a 912e) for my collection .
I am based in new zealand so my shipper will be handling the transaction and if you look in this forum i am a regular so this is not a scam.
I am not looking for a new resto more a genuine clean car that is a strong runner. Any car offered will be required to have a PPI .
So i look forward to seeing whats out there.
Price zone up to 10,000US

no affiliation.......

great car for the price........even with the poor economy $10K might not find what you need. Best of luck!

indeed a good car that appears well sorted out....
polished deep sixes, H-4's, external cooler, big bore
very good price for this, way ahead of many 912's out there for sale.
the seats and door pocket upgrade is nice and easy to return to orig.

thumbs up on this one!

My first thought was "You're dreaming - you and everybody else". I'll take all the cars I can get like that for that price....

I think you are going to have to raise the bar a bit. I have seen (and driven behind) that car and it is a steal at $12K. Worth more like $15K even in today's market.

well we'll just have to see

You might get lucky. They do pop up - but there are a LOT of people over here looking for them too... so they don't stay on the market. The other problem is a lot of folks view 912s as sacraficial lambs for projects like these

http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ad.php?t=29613

so there are fewer and fewer around every day.

My theory is that a good 912 is hader to find then a 911. Someone who purchased a 912 was on a budget - and it was a daily driver, not a second car. Plus they probably didn't have the money to properly maintain it.

You might be better off trying to find a nice car with a blown engine - since it seems that you end up rebuilding the prime mover sooner then later anyway. Here is an example of a car that may go that way

The owner was shocked when he found out that a rebuild may run $8K

As I recall - it is a fairly nice car.

If the car that you are looking for a PPI on in San Luis Obispo is a white SWB - 67 as I recall but maybe a 66 - that has lots of spare parts - for about $6K - it is maybe worth that price - but barely.

cheers , the car i'm looking at up in San Luis Obispo, CA is this one http://webpages.charter.net/carnut83...NG/smba_2.html,
needs replacement seats ( i have a set of sports to go in ) but the guy is a bit aloof .....didn't know what a PPI was or OPC was and when explained didn't know a shop anywhere?

I think it has been on the market for quite some time. As I remember - the car is unknown to members of the 912 Registry. If I can be of any help in the SF Bay area send me an email.

Contact Rennman he has a 912 close to your price for sale.
