They are IMO not great cars, a 911 with a VW engine. The VW engine was ok in the 914, but a big bumpered 911 . . .
Underpowered, and they have lots of "one year only" fuel injection parts. For one that has not been driven in 8+ years, that could be a problem.
Like any car, they have their fans, but the 912E fan group is pretty small, it's just not a car that has a lot to offer.
If he's not a 912E freak, and wants something pre-SC, then I'd suggest he get either a midyear ('74-'77), maybe one with an upgraded engine already in it, or a pre-70 912. Or a 914, maybe one converted to a 6.
