One of the guys at work has a 76 912 that he offered to sell me. I personally don't have much of an interest in a 912, but then I started thinking... can I use any of the parts off the 912 for my 914? What, if anything could I take out of the car? axels? brakes? 5 bolt wheels (or are they 4 bolt?)????
Or is it a 912 worthwhile "investment"??? What are those worth anyway? I'm sure it's only a 4 cylinder engine, so I can't imagine that it would hold its value as well as a 911. Please let |

I've always held this "theory" that they developed 912 models (all of them) around left-over engines. I say it rather tongue-in-cheek, however...
It seeems like they were in fairly short supply of T4's for the 76 run but check out how long the leftover 356 motors lasted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (now ask yourself about a 914-6... 1970 is the year 911s went to 2.2. Was that just another "leftover engine" project?
