Soory for the OT, but it is a aircooled 4cly Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Anyone here have or had 76 912E? Month or so ago I picked up a complete 66 912. It was in very bad shape, but complete. I sold it a week later for a some quick $$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Then at the next AX I went to there was a 76 912E. Nice car, You could tell it wasn't blinding fast, but the cool factor was 10+. I got a to ride on one run, but never had a chance to drive it. While I like the early 912, I think the 76 would be a model I would go for. The one I rode in had sunroof and working AC and was just plain cool.
I bought a 88 944 NA with 62K on at the end of march this year, and while its a great car, I just doesn't do it for me. Nothing against water pumpers, but you just can't beat the aircooled sound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I have no plans to get rid of the 944 yet, but knowing me it won't make it another year before the 912 bug really sets in. The car would be used just like my 944, daily driver (spring, summer, fall). I know about the 912 registry site, but who here has or had a 76 912E? I would like to here your good, bad, and ugly about it. From my few days on prcing research looks like they go for $6.5 k - $13k, my budget would be approx $10k. Thanks!

What about converting an early 912 to typeIV power? Then you skip the emmission hassle factor. Auto Atlanta has remade the air intake boots... I almost have enough orders to make heat exchangers, etc, etc.. The only thing that keeps parts from being available is lack of wallet opening on the owner's behalf... over 85% of the engines I have built for the 912E have went into cars still in posession of the ORIGINAL OWNER- go figure. Converting a 912 to TIV power is an option and TONS of guys are doing it, but tyhe early cars don't have the better creature comforts of the "E"..... I would want the creature comforts of the 76 E. |
