Thoughts on this one



It is a 912 with a 2.4L GA code 914 engine

901 transmission (rebuilt a few years ago)
930 torsion bars
911 Carrera brakes
Weltmeister sway bars
911 fender mounted oil cooler
911 CDI ignition
15x7" Fuchs
Schroth 3 point belts and harness bar
and much more!

Wonder what it drives like, sure is a sharp looking car. I am not in the market, just wondering mind like to know.

Michael

I have always liked the 912 for a daily driver. It is hard to beat the simplicity. When I had a 964, my best friend had a 912 and, while mine was in the shop for one thing or another, his was always running. It was pretty humbling the number of times that he picked me up and dropped me off at the dealer while the 964 was in for repairs

Great looking car!

Big bore type 4 engines are not usually a long lived engine unless built right. Also, a 2.4L is not a common sized engine. I wonder what bore and stroke they used.

Awesome car, especially for a 12. Great color, slammed to perfection - very clean. One nit of a suggestion is to lose the rocker trim. It would look even more clean without. Oooo La La!

cactus, i'm surprised, I got rid of my 912 because I couldn't keep it driving, and got the 964 which has never had any problems..., but damn... makes me want a 912 again, that looks sharp

that is Pelicantite exc911ences car. Is it really for sale? If so, it is more than likely very well documented here in old posts.
