1966 Porsche 912 Additional Info:
It’s time to put my 1966 Porsche 912 up for sale. I bought this car several years ago and I’ve been slowly restoring it ever since. As with any long-term restoration project, here are things that I could have done better, hings that I would have done differently, nd there are always things that could still be done. Since I bought this car, ’ve had a lot of life changes and keeping this beautiful Porsche does not fit into my plans for the future. Titled, egistered, nd insured in my name, s an Arizona title. I've had A LOT of action on this car, ut just haven't come to an agreement with anyone yet. Please know the current market before offering me $20k. I have have plenty of offers that are well over that price, ut haven't had the right offer yet. I am ready to sell it, ut not giving it away for under value. I have too much time and money invested in it over the years. When I found this Porsche, t was sitting neglected in the back yard of a house in South Phoenix. A friend and I took a trailer over and picked it up and that started my journey in attempting to bring this beautiful car back to life. I have a detailed history and timeline of my process in restoring this 912, hich I can send you a link to the forum where I have it found. I knew very little about classic Porsches when I purchased this 912. I had owned several vintage Volkswagens in the past, ut this was my first experience with an air-cooled Porsche. I’ve had an amazing time working with, laying with, nd learning about this beautiful piece of automotive history. It is time to move on and let someone else love it and make it their own. I have the certificate of authenticity from Porsche verifying the original color combination to be Slate Gray with Red interior. When I got the car, he paint was very old and faded. The interior was recovered with very 80’s-esque gray velour that looked like it came straight out of the GM catalogue. I’ve since returned the interior to its proper red, nd I had a complete repaint in Slate Gray. According to the certificate of authenticity, y car was also equipped with the original 5-speed transmission and the original engine that it left the factory with. Making this a 100% numbers matching car. Unfortunately, he original engine suffered a devastating loss a few months ago and was recently replaced with a different, ompletely stock 912 air-cooled motor. I do still have the original damaged engine case and that will be included with the sale of the car if the buyer wishes to have it. Karmann built this Porsche, nd it is the 348th 912 built for the 1966 model year. It is a very early 912, ith the perfect combination of options, late Gray, ed interior, -speed transmission, nd 3-gauge dash cluster. The complete restoration history dating to the day I picked it up, ncluding many, any pictures can be found in the link above. Most questions can probably be answered by reading through the posts in that thread. If you happen to have any additional questions, lease don’t hesitate to ask. The vehicle is stored indoors currently, ot being daily driven. If desired, he vehicle can be arranged for viewing and inspection. Winning bidder is required to send $1,000 deposit to secure the deal within 48 hours of the auction ending. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction end. Vehicle will be ready for pick up or transport once the full and final payment has been cleared. The current title is in Arizona, nder my name. It shows 63,075 miles on the title, ith a Box A. The odometer shows 10689 (5 digit odometer).
