The Porsche 912, like the Cayenne decades later, is frequently credited with having saved the German automaker during a period of financial uncertainty, as the then-new and much costlier six-cylinder 911 was viewed with some skepticism by marque loyalists. In the half-century since its introduction, however, the four-cylinder 912 has won an appreciative and loyal audience. The early (1966-1969) 912s handily outsold their 911 siblings; 28,333 four-cylinder coupes were produced, along with just 2562 Targas, and the retail price was a major factor.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Offered here is a beautiful example of the cleanly-designed 1968 912 Coupe, built at the Karmann coachworks for Porsche. According to a copy of the Kardex Porsche factory build sheet, the 912 was finished new in stunning Irish Green just as it appears today, and still retains its matching numbers engine. A comprehensive restoration was performed in the last decades, which has recently been refreshed, with further sorting and detailing of the engine compartment carried out. The Irish Green color has been professionally applied, and the interior carries a similar theme, being tastefully restored and welcoming. Acquired by the consignor in 2019, the Porsche 912 has since been looked after at his impressive Reno-based collection, and today presents in wonderful condition inside and out.
