I've been looking for a 914 driver for quite awhile , and have stumbled over 912's in the process that look like good deals and i'm curious if they would be better suited for me.
914 pro 's con's / 912 pro's con's : 914-mid engine + 914 con , it's kind of small and i'm 6-2 with long legs and arms , big feet will the 912 be better space wise and what is everyone's read on the 912 in general ??? Rust , what else ??? i've seen 912's for big money and not so big . and compared with 914-4's{ only} i've seen some 914 's that are nice for 10 to 6 grand . So money wise what's goes on with 912's - are 912's under 10 K . a good buy or really dangerous money pit? 1969 Porsche 912 - $6800 - $6800 Reply to: see below Date: 2009-02-19, 10:05AM PST 1969 Porsche 912, runs and drives great. Paint has a great shine, not rusty like most old Porsche's. Has a 5 speed that shifts smoothly, Recaro seats and 15" Fuchs wheels. $6800, Attached image(s) |

912 Cons:
Same rust issues as any Porsche built prior to 1976 Engine is as costly to rebuild as a flat 6 Can't beat itself across an intersection (It's a 911 with no power). 912 Pros: You can almost qualify for the pinky lifter, gold chain, whine and cheese crowd. You get 5 lug Fuchs. I'll take the 914 first |

You get 5 lug Fuchs. I'll take the 914 first ok so rust is same issue , engine cost: I though it use's same type _4 as the 914 ??? so what are the engine difference's beside's placement ??? I'm not going for speed so that's not really a concern for me , i'm more of a cruiser I don't do all the pinky lifter / gold chain / whine or cheese thing. but I do like 5 lug fuch's . And what about my height is the 912 better for bigger person ??? |

... I'm 6.2 and don't have any issues fitting in my 914. There's plenty of space in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy |
