I have been eying up a 66 912 that has been converted to impact bumpers with a whale tail.. And looks like a beetle engine from the pictures.. Car is rough but not as bad as my 914 lol.. What's it worth?

$10-12k maybe from your description. Rust and damage dependent. Maybe, possibly, sort of.
And if you pass, let me know.

Every time someone put a whale tail on an swb car, a puppy died.

The bumpers will be fiberglass and it will cost a fair bit to put it back right.

The beetle engine, no power but it goes down the highway just fine. My buddy built a targa for his 2 high school kids to drive to school, 80 mile round trip for 4 years no problem.

I jrecently sold my '67 912 with a 5-speed trans, but no motor. Decent interior (nice dash top, gauges and face, seats (driver's seat needed pleat seams re-sewn), carpet and rubber mats, original hockey-puck horn ring steering wheel, uncut door panels and non-cracked dash), good Bilsteins, 14" Fuchs with fairly new Pirelli P6 185 tires.

It needed the front suspension replaced and a section of the passenger side steering rack tunnel and small section of the footwell/floor. I also recommended to the buyer to install a new master cylinder and rebuild the calipers.

Paint was OK, but it had some surface rust in a few of the usual places (buyer will be stripping down to the original Bahama Yellow, or possibly metal).

I was asking $15k and sold it for $14k. because the 16-YO kid who bought it impressed us with his knowledge of Porsches, and his dedication to the restoration process he professed and the support his dad showed. The young lad, his dad and their mechanic all thought it was a great deal.

I bought the car in 2000 for $3,500., rebuilt the carbs, did some oil changes and tune ups, and drove it for 6000 miles over a three year period.

I sold the [blown] motor for $1,500., so I felt it was priced accordingly for a quick sale (as a roller), even considering the repairs needed.

Hey, $12k profit to invest in the other cars? ... I'm good with that, and it made a nice kid (who reminded me of me at his age) happier than shit to boot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

He keeps in touch to let us know how his progress is coming along.

People did some really awful stuff in the 80s, like this one, full metal slantnose, Sparco seats, hell, it even had unicorns etched in the glass, but it was a matching #s 73 911S. I was very excited when the guy described the car on the phone, horrified when he opened the garage, but still bought it.
It got restored, but gawd was it hard to look at.
