1968 Porsche 912. 

Mechanicals were gone through Dave Bustamante, an award-winning Porsche restoration specialist.  Great opportunity to purchase a California 912 with same body style and shape as iconic Porsche 911.

Areas that require further attention:

·       Front suspension struts and rear shocks serviceable but should be replaced for optimal performance. 

·       Three fuel hold down clamps need to be installed.

My hope is new owner will be able to complete the restoration process for this car that is even prettier in person.

About the 912:

The 912 is an entry-level variant of the 911. Like the 911, the 912 was offered in Coupe and Targa body styles. The 912 is a nimble-handling compact 2+2 fitted with a 1.6 liter air cooled4-cylinder flat-4 from the last of the 356s though slightly detuned to 102 SAE horsepower at 5800 rpm.[2]The 912 is capable of up to 30 miles per US gallon (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg‑imp) fuel economy. This combination is possible because of the high-efficiency Boxer engine, low drag, and low weight. Priced at $4,700, the 912 initially outsold the 911, boosting the manufacturer's total production until success of the 911 was assured. More than 32,000 912s were built from April 1965 to July 1969.

In the early 1960s, Porsche was planning to discontinue the Type 356, which would leave them with the newly-introduced Type 911 as their only product. Concerned that the considerable price increase of a 911 with flat opposed six-cylinder powerplant over the 356 would cost the company sales and narrow brand appeal, in 1963 Porsche executives decided to introduce a new four-cylinder entry-level model.
